Unisex I wanted to say something about this unique parfum since it was just discontinued and now you can still find it even if it’s not anymore in Nasomatto’s website. This is great for the springtime and summertime. Gualtieri never releases used ingredients and notes of his perfumes and it’s ok but what comes to China White I think it’s really rare to find honest opinion about how it really smells. It’s obvious that CW belongs to floral woody fragrances but all other is speculation and even there is florals and “powdery” note, I want to speak about this creation straight and with the right definition. Powdery for example here doesn’t mean powdery like it’s used in perfumery notes. It’s just trying to describe the scent without using correct words which would be considered inappropriate. Nasomatto’s China White and Black Afgano has described as Yin and yang which is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. Black Afgano is really mellow unique scent with potent untraditional Hashish whiff and I would lie if I wouldn’t say that China White has been made to bring strong chemical Cocaine vibe. That vibe comes straight away after spraying and there is no reason why it wouldn’t be meant to be like that. No doubt that it is maybe as well the one main reason why this scent is discontinued since it’s really challenging to sell this because of it’s unique character and scent which is some kind of tabu to say it out loud. I hope no one gets offended now because of what I have wrote since that is the reason why this is not described as is should. I’m not trying to glamorize anything - I only want this scent would be described as it deserves since this is very unique and captivating yet brash take on perfumery. I respect the courage which is needed to create something like that and that was the main reason why I bought this long time ago. I was actually thinking that this will disappear even more quickly from the market. Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
Right!!! So for the authentic effect, I decanted some onto a bent spoon and burned it a little before injecting and let me tell you it smelled awful! Okay what's with everyone going on about the name? If you think about it most china (ceramic) is white and paint hues are named 'China White' without any intended drug references to street names for smack! Where do you think that came from anyway? What would people rather it be called....'Snow White'? Which would have ridiculous fairytale and still further drug connotations! RANT OVER! As for the smell of this it's BIG and BOLD! Nasomatto don't know how to do anything else. Even with a scent like this which is powdery and floral it's an industrial Iron fist in a velvet glove. I get lots of animalistic musk from this which under normal circumstances I wouldn't like especially in a floral scent but this is intriguing to me. I have to say I quite like china white not for me to wear but I can definitely appreciate it. It has a unique edge and I can't think of many scents like it.
Some perfumes seem to defy nature with their texture, and for me this has the texture of a squidgy paste... a wet, compacted powder containing florals, plastic/rubber, clay, leaves and soap. There's a hint of woody leather somewhere underneath it all, that comes and goes. Every time I smell it I get something different.
