Comment: Blanche Immortelle is part of the Collection Métal
The opening of Blanche Immortelle is extremely strange, initially smelling akin to cough syrup. The citruses are very sweet but it's the mimosa that may be the underlining problem.
As it develops, the synthetic florals fail to convince. The immortelle is identifiable but its maple syrup properties never really shine through (although there's a mild cumin facet present). And when the woody base notes finally surface, there's a burnt crimson sweetness that resounds until the very end. However, glimmers of sandalwood are discernible from time to time.
With moderate sillage and below average lasting power, Blanche Immortelle is the least favourable offering from the already less than impressive Collection Métal.
