Eau de Gentiane Blanche EDC

It is not a realistic alpine landscape. More like these Japanese pictures in shades of grey of high forests and mountains, where you never know if they are photos or watercolours. Coniferous trees, which become more and more sparse the further up it goes. Rugged, steep cliffs with wafts of mist hanging from them. It is possible that the yellow gentian, from whose root the popular gentian brandy is distilled, is called white gentian in France. Or is it an albino gentian? In any case, the white is better suited to the mood of the fragrance than this outrageously radiant blue of the Gentiana.
