McQueen Eau Blanche
by Alexander McQueen
A soft, ethereal tuberose-centered white floral with a fresh green and musky base. It opens with a delicate blend of violet leaf, tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, creating a bright, airy, and slightly sweet floral accord. The heart features a balanced, creamy tuberose that’s not indolic or overwhelming—enhanced by cooling musk and a hint of woody dryness. The drydown remains subtly floral and faintly musky, with minimal projection and negligible longevity. The composition feels elegant and wearable, evoking gauzy white fabrics, garden walks on a warm spring day, or a quiet moment of romantic longing. It's well-blended, with no harsh or synthetic notes, and offers a clean, feminine aesthetic that feels modern yet timeless.
