White
ALT. Fragrances is an independent house focused on unconventional scent design, creating fragrances that prioritize unusual ingredient combinations and artistic expression over traditional commercial appeal.
White opens with a striking contrast of bright broom and herbal buchu, grounded immediately by guaiac wood and a subtle toffee sweetness that hints at the gourmand direction to come. The heart develops into a complex, slightly savory composition where amber and labdanum create a warm base for unexpected earthy elements -- cilantro and mushroom add an almost umami quality, while a syrupy undertone keeps things honeyed and indulgent. The base lingers with georgywood and musk, punctuated by a grounding rosemary note that prevents the fragrance from becoming overly sweet despite its gourmand-floral DNA.
White works best for those seeking something genuinely different from the typical floral playbook, blending gourmand warmth with woody and earthy depth. It has enough sweetness for intimate wear but enough structural complexity for someone who wants their fragrance to be a conversation piece rather than a comfort scent. Try it if you gravitate toward The Romantic, The Reverie, and The Hedonist.
