Review of Blanc Polychrome by RINA

The fragrance opens with a dazzling blend of lemon and mandarin citrus notes layered with the tartness of rhubarb, further enriched by the lush, verdant aroma of fig leaves. Together, they create a fresh, multifaceted contrast reminiscent of an "explosion of light." Layering rhubarb over lemon softens the citrus impression, while the addition of fig leaf and petitgrain enhances this softness; simultaneously, green accents lend the composition a crisp, clean finish. These green accents truly capture the essence of the citrus-fruit blend, evoking light radiating outward like a kaleidoscope and the iridescent shimmer born from it. Jasmine adds depth to the fresh, translucent scent, while lavender brings a sense of calm and serenity, smoothing the transition to the base notes. The shift from lavender to ambroxan (layered with rhubarb) feels both modern and soothingly comforting. Meanwhile, moss softens the fragrance's contours and harmonizes the radiating light, uniting everything into a beautiful, pleasant olfactory experience that eventually envelops you in a gentle, clean sensation. The rhubarb note at the top is quite strong, so some people might not care for it. Personally, I prefer the atmosphere of the dry-down, where the ambroxan and lavender notes come to the fore.
