I understand. As a consumer I know it's hard to trust someone who only talks about good but from a business standpoint there's no money in negative reviews plus people don't wanna risk a fractured relationship with brands. It's a double edge sword. I tend to not follow overly dramatic people everything can't be the most amazing thing you've ever smelled lol

So I haven't finished watching your review, but I just love you, and I had to come and say that!! I have owned Blanche bete for about 6 months, and I fell in love with it on first try. It is very strong and really my first lactonic fragrance!! Interestingly, I find it to be very similar to Caramel Cascade by Taskeen unlike what everyone says CC is really duping. I remember getting the same physical reaction when I tried them- yes, they both made me sneeze a coupla times on initial sprays. I still love them both though, and I'm really glad you are sharing layering combos for Blanche bete because that is the only way I wear my caramel cascade as well- combined/layered with other fragrances...see, BB & CC really do have more similarities than one in my books! Great review so far Chi chi, now let me continue watching the layering combos with my coffee!

THIS is the review that I have been looking for! I bought this maybe 2 years ago before it got really popular and me experience is the same as yours. And I love lactonic fragrances…but this is the one that made me pause on these influencer reviews because there’s no way everyone is raving about it. It’s not a bad fragrance, it’s just not soul snatching. So thank you.

Girl… I have Blanche Bete and I didn’t think I’d love her but I do… I’m watching you spray her and layer her and I’m like she’s gonna smell like her till next week! Ms. Bete is a beast… so much so that I will choke myself out if I over spray… and I don’t do lactonic flavors… (Commodity Milk, Bianco Late) but Ms. Bete, she somehow works for me and yes, massive compliment getter. Love the video mama❤

Totally understand the dilemma of not liking something that everyone likes on you 😂. I think it’s down to intrinsic motivation vs extrinsic motivation and which do you prioritise when it comes to wanting to wear a perfume. Intrinsically you don’t like the perfume and don’t feel motivated to wear it but extrinsically you get rewarded with compliments from others thus leading you to be motivated to wear it. Wearing a perfume is usually a personal mood setter so it’s probably best to go with the intrinsic form of motivation which means to put it on ONLY because you like it. But if you do enjoy the feeling of pleasing others with your scent, then it’s worth making the effort to try to accept and love the scent. ❤ Hope this brings some clarity with your dilemma! Also, this is the first time watching your video and I really enjoy your candour 😂❤ I have recently gotten the sampler for this and I’m also struggling to decide whether I like this or not. NGL the popularity definitely plays a part in gaslighting myself into liking it but your candour and analogy totally nailed the description of this scent.

I'm wearing Blanche for the first time today and had to look up what people were saying about her again because I don't remember hearing a negative review, and she's behaving badly on my skin. I'm happy I only bought a travel size because absolutely not!!! The milk I get is actually coconut cream and then smoke. On me, it's smells like coconut milk being boiled on an outside wood fire to make coconut oil. I find it a bit nauseating. But it does last however.

The BB saga continues! 😂😂😂 I’m emotionally attached to both Commodity and Blanche Bete but I have a full bottle of Commodity Milk and only a travel size decant of Blanche which I wear very strategically because she is a sorceress. Still not sure I would ever get a full bottle. I hear you on not wanting to keep it if you don’t personally enjoy it though. First time I smelled it I had a migraine and it definitely made me nauseous. But off migraine I’m genuinely a milky note lover. But she’s a milky powdery beast to be used with caution.

Just a little. At first I was verrry put off by this one. After months I came back and put it casually for a walk. A sample! And as I was not used to this smell I caught a wafts of a gorgeous smell, not realising yet to the fullest that it was this tiny sample. Until I was walking by a bench with some man on it and heard: wow, this was such a nice smell.

This one smells very floral on me, with an occasional touch of decay in there. The milk can go a little sour breast milk when my skin gets warm, though less so than other lactonic fragrances I’ve tried. In the end it smells mostly like an old fashioned cloying white floral to my nose. I tried it several times and every time I just want it off of me. It unfortunately does last a very long time and is hard to scrub off. I can see where some people find this very pretty but it’s a pass for me.
