Mom's hug
Who doesn't miss it—that feeling of security? To go back to childhood once more, to feel Mom's closeness again. Blanche Bête provides exactly this magic. In the first moment, I sense how milk is slowly being brought to a boil in a pot. I'm lying in bed with a slight fever and a scratchy throat, while my mother prepares hot milk with honey in the kitchen. She sits on the edge of the bed and feels my temperature, until suddenly this very light, almost burnt scent rises into the air. She starts and runs to the stove; the milk is about to boil over. Shortly after, a small moment of happiness follows: I am healthy again—and Mom is making rice pudding with cinnamon and sugar. Simple, warm, and full of love. The scent is simply a pure moment of well-being. Cozy, creamy, and comforting. You feel safe, as if in an embrace that makes everything a little bit easier. Blanche Bête is a quiet poem. It doesn't need many ingredients, but it knows exactly which language to speak to evoke emotions. I absolutely need this fragrance in my collection.
