Launched in 2008 by Nasomatto, China White is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. It opens with a powdery note that immediately sets the tone for something soft and enveloping. The heart of rose adds an unexpected warmth, contrasting beautifully with the musky and woody base notes that anchor the composition. This fragrance balances between delicate floral sweetness and earthy depth, making it both intimate and complex.

Application Tips
China White is best applied in two light sprays — the powdery opening can be overwhelming if layered too heavily. The fragrance blooms over an hour and works well for evening wear when you want something warm yet understated.
