Argentique

Argentique, from the Italian brand Blancheide, was released in 2019 and is presented as feminine. It is mainly floral, with smaller and evenly balanced sweet, woody, musky and amber touches.

The top notes are soft and powdery: whipped cream gives a light, airy sweetness, and iris adds a cool, refined powder with a faintly earthy edge, an elegant combination that recalls make-up or soft fabrics. In the heart, rose brings a fresh, velvety petal note and jasmine a warm, slightly fruity sweetness, while white woods add a clean, pale woodiness. The base is gentle and smooth: amber gives a warm, cosy glow and white musk a clean, skin-like finish.

The name refers to analogue photography, and the scent has that soft-focus quality. It suits daytime, the office and quiet occasions, especially in spring and autumn, and anyone who enjoys creamy, powdery florals that stay soft and refined rather than loud or overtly sweet.
