Review
Olene Eau de Toilette by Diptyque transports you to a blooming Venetian garden filled with intoxicating scents of spring.
A vibrant opening burst of narcissus and honeysuckle are soon overtaken by fragrant jasmine and wisteria. I especially enjoyed the subtle hints of green notes that creep in as it settles.

Ingrid’s Top Pick
Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun
My top pick is Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun, as the white floral notes of gardenia and freesia work beautifully with the tropical coconut and ylang-ylang.
Conclusion
When you want a boost of carefree femininity, these are the best white floral perfumes, in my opinion, to do the trick! Each scent I have selected will have you basking in a bouquet of pretty flowers.
One thing to point out about white floral scents is their longevity. A true white floral scent may only last 3-4 hours before becoming a skin scent and needs to be reapplied.
However, floral perfumes that include sweeter or warmer notes, such as vanilla, amber, and musk, will usually last longer.
