What do reviewers say about Blanche and Musky Aldehydes?

Blanche doesn't announce itself. It arrives, settles close, and stays. The aldehydes give it that retro-soapshine lift, but the peony and violet keep it from being precious.Blanche

Aldehydes are divisive, and that's exactly why they work. They smell like something that's been washed, dried, and folded with care. Clean without trying.Musky Aldehydes
