Crisp, sun dried sheets, but without laundry detergent. A touch woodsy, it really can be something that a cotton flower smells of. Not really floral at all, more earthy and a touch woodsy and sunkissed. Not a sweet scent, fairly dry, no aromatics, just odorless sundried sheets. I think it's along the lines of phlur missing person, even a touch on the salty side.

Dr Harder

Hard to describe it, I get some persistent artificial synthetic scent but its not unpleasent or repulsive at all. Like a strange mix of iris,cotton and musk, this is actually how fresh laundry used to smell some 15-20 years ago, if that makes any sense

This is a perfect clean unisex i would say “ white tshirt” scent. I really enjoy to wear it when i dont want to wear anything that is too heavy or strong. Im not a musk fan but this is the only one i like, i find other musky scents too floral which i dont like either. Longevity is avarage.

Pure dryer sheet. No musk or wood, just cotton. It's not completely repulsive, but I can get the same effect throwing my clothes in the dryer- and would stick around longer.

mustafa92

this is so smooth, pure cotton and musk. so clean. doesnt really smell like perfume its just a smell of being clean. i mostly get cotton flower and musk, no woods or citrus. also theres a bit lavender in the opening which is gorgeous. i couldnt get that laundry vibe though, just cotton maybe

maitton

Another clean one from Blanc collection. And this one in particular is great for your bedsheets. Imagine laundry when you steam and fold it. This goes next to my bed for night treats.

I get a musky, slightly citric iris like smell with a little bit of coconut. It's a clean easy to wear scent that lasts a little bit longer than the average. I'd say it's not for the people that's used to wear classic male scents, they could think is a bit female oriented. A good release

This could be a re review having lived with this a few months.
This is beautiful light unisex musk. Warmer than a plain cotton and great for out of the shower. I love it but it’s fleeting, use like a body spray, so it’s an expensive body spray.
I went back and bought the larger bottle of this one in the range as it’s so beautiful, clean and unisex. The others all had something that I didn’t love, they are all gorgeous clean scents though.
I will wear it in summer but I think it’s fluffy enough for year round. Dries down to something related to but not same as Glossier You.
Be prepared to re spray, a lot, but I think it’s worth the hassle.

So similar to Glossier You, to me it leans def more feminine but easily unisex, it's kinda sweet musk in a delicate floral way. It reminds me of some perfume from the 00' just can't figure out what yet.

arissvs

I bought the entire collection! Of all 4 this is the only one (Livre Blanc) that is unisex leaning feminine! The colletion itself is not bad, all are fresh, clean, citrusy, musky, very good for spring/summer, unfortunately i wouldn't say EDP, rather cologne, because they are so very week, and you have reapply genereously! Not bad, but not great either!

ledossa

- analogous to Glossier You but for men
- clean laundry smell
- leans masculine but easily unisex
- something simple to put on to smell good
- price to quality ratio is fair (<4 hr longevity, minimal sillage)

seversky

Fresher, more mellow, less animalic and thus IMO more unisex version of White Soho. Compared them wrist to wrist. Equally lovely!

xdwward

I smelled this on myself and the longevity is poor, sillage is poor but the smell is so familiar to me that i still wanna buy it if it wasnt that overpriced for the value! i will wait for a discount or a smaller bottle version for my nighttime perfume

Note: review is based on tropical, humid climate

Kate_Jeason

I blind bought all 4 fragrances from Olivia Giacobetti's Zara collab as I trust her nose.

I can't quite describe what this one smells like, I just can't. But what I can say - this is the perfect go for me on those days when I don't wanna wear a perfume. It's just perfect for that.

Odor Aeternitatis

I am a fan of Olivia Giacobetti and was very excited about this collection. This is my first perfume from this collection. The scent is good but unfortunately was made with a very low-quality material. It is very dominant with musk and after the top note (after half an hour), the dry down is very synthetic musk in a bad way.
It is a very simple fragrance, an airy and very gentle skin scent. If you use fragrance for a pillow, blanket, or curtain, this would be a very good option. The fragrance is very suitable with the white shirt. I think this fragrance is a very good option for layering.
6/10

Melodyred

This perfume exudes a crisp and clean, classic laundry scent. However, it gave me a headache partway through wearing it, so, unfortunately, it's not the right fit for me. I believe it might not be offensive on someone else though! It’s just a bit too much when I smell it constantly.

k u r i o n e

An interesting non-descript but pleasant and completely unisex scent. It doesn't conjure any associations of a white book for me, but more so a unique clean laundry smell. With the inclusion of cotton flower, one would think this would be a very soft, fluffy fragrance, but there's an unidentifiable, somewhat bright citrus note here. The fragrance softens for the majority of the wear. As this Zara line is more simplistic, the fragrances work well for layering to add longevity and complexity to other fragrances. If available in stores, I’d suggest sampling first.

PlatMik

Super clean and musky scent, Citric top all through the fragrance with the backbone of fuzziness of musk, great for summer.

mapl9leaf

I bought Livre Blanc almost a month ago, and I wear it frequently to work now. It's an easy wear, crisp and very clean. Very inoffensive, the kind of fragrance I forget I have on until I go to move my hair behind my ears. It's just enough.

markvel

Is this collection some kind of limited line?
They still don't have any of these perfumes in my country stores...

barry1052

This is the best in the collection IMO!! Great value of money super worth it, didn’t expect this to surprise me a lot.

Very clean laundry like musky scent, this is nothing new and the DNA has been done for thousands time but with the retail price you get a lot from this fragrance !Definitely get this if you clean musky scent (I do) good for office and everyday wear inoffensive

takemymoney

This surprised me. I am generally disappointed by Zara scents - other than Perpetual Oud and Fields at night - but this is nice. Not like - shout from the rooftops ! It will change your world ! but it smells clean and like a person who has their life together (you know the type - has shirts to pick up at the dry cleaner , VIP membership at the expensive gym, meal prepps their lunches - THAT person) and I like it. On days I need to smell put together but not overly perfumed this will be great.

JoeMacchiato

If the current fashion trend 'quiet luxury' could be bottled up, it would smell like Livre Blanc, a citrus-iris sitting on a bed of billowy, soft white musk.

Though lacking a stringent citrus top note, Livre Blanc could be worn in any occasion where a classic cologne is called for.

Despite being an EDP, both projection and longevity are on the weak side.

Mauro desjardins

This fragance smell pretty similar to glossier YOU ….. where the cotton +iris combo mixed with the crisp almost metallic musk +aldehydes give this powdery yet squeaky clean feeling and if you sneeze long enough you can get some light fruitiness like shampoo-esque apple vibe ! Backup bottle worthy

xpetra82

Wait...Whaaaatttt???? GOD bless tik tok (i found out about this there) i am running to zara for ordering this set...and i dont even care to test them first,,,this woman is super talented and i am pretty sure it will be descontunued so soon (as they always do...hate them for this...still hopping they bring sweet pastry in paris back)
A month later : Livre blanc is the perfect layer perfume. I order back up because i am already half my bottle because i layer this with everything! the other 3 of the set...not that good.

AoiUsagi

I'm wondering if they made their cotton flower note with a big dose of orris, as that's mainly what I'm getting in the opening. Overall it's a powdery scent that settles to something oldschool and perfumey. I was hoping for a clean, woody musk, which this is definitely not.

rasteria

I can detect Light Blue by DG vibes with some evernyl in it. If you can’t stand bandaids or iodine scents this is better avoided.

Sabrotto

One of the best in the collection

KiikiKiiki

What’s going on?!! Why so MAAAAAAANNNNNY Zara releases in the space of a month?!

PERaven

10/10
Masculine clean floral fragrance with a beautiful note of freshly washed skin
Nothing like another 13 or any of the other molecule based fragrances. If I could liken it to an existing fragrance it would be Brioni Eclat, however the Zara is a little sweeter and less like Terre D’Hermes.

lunablu.blue

This one is similar to another recent Zara release Blanc a Porter.

It's insane the amount of recent releases Zara has done in the last month. 8 new men's releases from Olivia and Alberto, another 4 from the line where they list the perfumers' names on the bottle, 8 new women's perfumes, 2 new perfumes from the chapter collection, which are not on Fragrantica yet, plus the weekday collection, Barbie release etc. That's ignoring their cheaper fragrance. It's so overwhelming, that I'm somewhat disinterested in Zara fragrances altogether now.
