Our verdict on The Revenge of Lady Blanche: Favourite

A refined and quietly mischievous green floral that whispers privilege and poise. Understated, powdery and aristocratic, yet with a sly, fresh twist that intrigues and soothes in equal measure.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The crisp green florals and powdery facets make this especially suited to spring and early fall, while its freshness can work in summer. Its subtlety is less fitting for winter's cold air.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its elegant softness and restrained sillage make it ideal for office or daytime wear and understated dates, while lacking the projection for more formal or energetic situations.

About

The Revenge of Lady Blanche opens with the crisp, verdant bite of narcissus, enveloped in a veil of fresh green stems and dew. A heart of buttery orris and sweet pea lends a soft, powdery elegance, evoking silk gloves and afternoon tea. Underneath, creamy sandalwood and powdery musk anchor the scent with a gentle warmth, while the green facet lingers throughout. This is a perfume of subtle aristocracy - an olfactory portrait of a poised, enigmatic lady with a secretive smile.
