Byredo Blanche
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- It smells very clean, but not "laundry" clean to me.
- Parent context: Asking for some recommendations for a nice perfume for my wife (31), as a Christmas gift. Something floral and clean - no berry, vanilla, fruit, coconut, or sweet scents. Reply: Byredo - Blanche
- Byredo - Blanche smells like a clean white t-shirt
- Big fan of Byredo (De Los Santos and Blanche).
- I own Gypsy Water, Bal d’Afrique, Velvet Haze and Blanche, and all of them have huge lasting power and sillage on me
Cons
- I love clean fresh aldehydic scents but I can't do Blanche because it just smells like I soaked my clothes in fabric softener.
- Byredo Blanche – Expensive laundry detergent.
- I suspect the aldehydes give me a headache, so I wouldn’t buy it, but the first time I smelled blanche, it fully evoked memories of going to the pool as a kid, which was pretty cool.
- I just want to know what makes you enjoy Blanche, which is $435CAD for 100mL… To smell like clean laundry?
- I’m eyeing Clean Classic Skin, Pure Soap, Shower Fresh, Salt & Stone Bergamot and Hinoki, and Byredo Blanche but reviews are mixed

The iris note in Blanche is quite expertly done, and very different from a generic “laundry” smell. It is both delicate and piercing, and offer a sort of cool warmth that is hard to find.
It’s pleasant, clean, non obtrusive and inoffensive all of which are important here.
