Benetton Bianco Woman
Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 8:19AM The weather is kinda muggy and sticky lately. It's super humid in the day, and then it rains at night. That's your typical Philippine weather, but it's just weird that it's happening in September. Shouldn't it be a little colder by now? Anyway, I've been using a new-ish scent to make me feel cleaner in this irritating heat: the Benetton Bianco Woman (P850/ 30ml, P1,350/ 100ml).
I've had this for months but it's just recently that I started using it. I really like it because it's so presko (fresh) and doesn't cloy in this heat. It's a mix of gardenia, linen, with some green into it. It's a crisp scent that I find universally flattering and just well, pleasant!
The 30ml bottle looks like sturdy glass with a secure cap, so it's something that can be carried around. It's small enough to slip into your purse if you like to retouch.
It is an EDT however so it doesn't last too long on clothes and skin. It does linger on me, unlike other EDTs out there. Must be my body chemistry? Someone has to explain to me how that works vis a vis fragrances!
Overall, the Benetton Bianco Woman is a nice, fresh scent that will not develop into a musky mess in humid weather. I like me some drama when it comes to fragrances (oriental and sweet florals are my thing) but when it's uncomfortably hot I go for something simpler like Bianco. :)

I love good clean scents, so this sounds absolutely up my alley. The milk light clouds thing made me smile!
And its quite affordable ah
This type of scent does smell good straight for the bottle, however it does not smell good on me. I hope department stores should give samples to customers; pero i think here in our country binibenta nila..:(
In all fairness, very affordable! This looks interesting for me. However I am more int eau de parfum right now. Well, because of the money, I'll buy one. Where is this available Ms. Liz? :)
I get frustrated when I find a nice smelling edt and then while it doesn't register as "foul smelling" it ends up smelling like something else on me. Just glad that it doesn't happen a lot. :)) I love the "list" printed on that side of the box! The name itself gives the consumer an idea of how it would smell like! I wish to get a whiff of this soon. If it agrees with my body chemistry I'd gladly get one, since it is affordable. :)
I don't really like wearing perfume because I like a 'clean and fresh' smell, so I'm good with just baby powder. Ahahaha. But when you wrote down linen, I was like "Ooohh pwede" ahaha. Will look for this and try it out. :D
I agree this is an affordable EDT. I hope this hits our Watsons branch. :)
I adore clean, fresh and crisp scents! Will definitely check this out. :)
@Ms. Liz : With regards to body chemistry -- We all have different body chemistries which is why a certain perfume that smells really good on you might not smell as good on let's say your sister or bestfriend. In the scientific sense, it boils down to our body's PH balance, if our body's PH balance turns acidic, this will in turn affect the fragrance's intensity, it can enhance it , making it too overwhelming or reduce it, may change the way it smell completely; that is why there are days when our perfume smells differently than what we are used to. Oh and other factors that will also affect it : hormones, weather,age, stress, poor diet and even skin type (perfumes/scents on oily skinned individuals lasts longer and may smell more intense than those with dry skin).
FUN, SEXY TIDBIT FOR THEE LADIES: Did you know that amongst all the different scents, the favorite of most men would be citrusy scents (e.g. orange, tangerine, lemon, lime, grapefruit etc.). Some studies have proven that when they smell it early morning (when their testosterone is at its peak ) or after a warm, hot bath/shower on their ladies (in the form of body washes/soaps), it has the effect as that of an aphrodisiac. (tried& tested :) *wink). Try it ladies, it may or may not work for you BUT you never know, you might just make him a very happy man one jolly morning. Just sayin' (*naughty, mischievous wink :) ).
Whoopsie! :) Got a little tooo carried away with my comment. Thought I'd share some insights regarding fragrances. Its obvious that I'm somewhat a "perfumeholic" if there's such a word. :) Hope this helps!
