The review

On paper, Elegant Tokyo is a reasonable bet if you want Blanche for less.

Zara sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blanche's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zara publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on aldehydes, rose and pink pepper, turns to peony, violet and neroli, and settles into sandalwood, musk and blonde woods. That is the brief Elegant Tokyo is working from.

Top

  • aldehydes
  • rose
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • peony
  • violet
  • neroli

Base

  • sandalwood
  • musk
  • blonde woods
For the one who craves pristine calm, dressing aldehydes, peony and musk into the clean comfort of freshly laundered white linen against skin.
