Expose Blanc

Scent Breakdown

Expose Blanc opens with a recognizable structure: lavender supported by bergamot and a distinct pineapple note. The initial impression is similar to Legend, perhaps 90% in the opening. The pineapple here is slightly sharper, less rounded, suggesting a less refined aromachemical source. The heart reveals a noticeable difference. The red apple accord is prominent, lending a youthful, almost candied sweetness absent in the original's more restrained fruity nuances. Oakmoss is present, but plays a significantly quieter role, replaced by a more synthetic woody amber accord as it dries. The base is a predictable tonka bean and sandalwood combination. It echoes Legend, but lacks the smooth, creamy texture.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is moderate. Expect around 5-6 hours on skin, projecting modestly for the first hour before settling closer. This is typical for this style of fragrance. On clothing, it persists longer, closer to 8 hours. The projection is never aggressive. It captures the essence, but lacks the polished refinement of the original. If you enjoy Legend's DNA and are comfortable with a touch more synthetic sweetness and a slightly less sophisticated composition, this is a viable option. But for the budget-conscious, Expose Blanc presents a reasonable compromise.
