White Spirit is the result of two colliding worlds, when fire meets ice. At the heart of this electric accord, a floral bouquet composed of Jasmine Sambac and Tuberose absolute. Behind their airs of up-and-coming stars, lie their true colours – sensual, poisonous, and addictive. The Sandalwood, the Ambrocenide, and the Ambroxan enter the dance in turn, a dry woody trio, suddenly setting the white floral accord to the challenge of modernity.

HOW IT WEARS
White Spirit is essentially a tuberose based Eau de Parfum that will give you a good 6 – 8 hours worth of wear on the skin. It may not seem so at it’s opening, but this white floral with delicate hints of bright bergamot, ambroxan and soft woods all deliciously combined in it’s milky lactonic, eventually evolves to something much fleshier and sensual. While the tuberose maintains a majestic carnality as the stand out note here, with a purity and brightness even after the dry down, the clean, creaminess from the milky molecule holds it all to the skin with equal tenacity.
LORE LOVES
As it’s name might suggest, we adore how this darling scent conjures a fleeting historic memory or fairy tale romance. A delicate, fragrant essence of a spirit not bound by physicality, but defined by memories of it. Clean, pure, light and bright with all too feminine and seductive undertones. Beguiling and romantic with sensual twist, like the consummation of virginal romance on a wedding night. A delicate interplay between the eternal lightness of the Spirit and the deeper desires of the flesh. Yes..and yes!

I have several of the “Juliette Has a Gun” range. Each time I purchase one I wouldn’t think they could produce one better. How wrong can I be?? I even layer some. NOW! For someone who can talk underwater with a mouthful of marbles, I really struggle to find words to do the first of their luxury collection justice. “White Spirit” is like a woman who really IS a lady. This is a scent that can be described as ‘innocent’ by its pure white colour, ‘elegant’ by the clean lines of the bottle, ‘dangerous’ by the way it draws you in and lasts with an exquisite powdery drydown. This is (for me) a fragrance that can speak volumes. The smart business woman in the clean, crisp lines of a plain white shirt with a pair of tailored black/navy slacks, classic gold earrings, good shoes is all you need OR going for a lunch with the same shirt teamed with good jeans, maybe smart white casual loafers, sandals, again minimum jewellery. “White Spirit” will do everything else for you. Anyone who smells this on you will not forget it. A completely different angle, bedtime, shower fresh, spray White Spirit and you’ll have trouble getting a good nights sleep (isn’t that why you wear it)? Of course if you’re sharing bunk beds or have to sleep with a sibling, don’t waste it. Just fling on the flannelette and sleep😉 Just beautiful🌹Gayle

Lovely bright rose, jasmine and spice on first spray. Light florals and more spicy by lunchtime. I found it’s longevity to be very disappointing on my skin, otherwise this would be 11/10 ⭐️
