Pros: Smells wonderful, doesn't overpower, tireless, keeps me coming back for more
Cons: Doesn't hurt the nose of those you may wish to offend.
The Bottom Line: If you want to conjure up thoughts of roses and lilacs, and quietly please the senses of those around you, White Shoulders can't be beat.

| woody2's Full Review: White Shoulders Evian 4.5oz Cologne Spray S Perfum... |
Waddya know? ...Not only is this a non-tool review, it's of a perfume of all things! So from a guy's perspective, here it goes...
I'm a very fortunate guy in that my wife is quite pretty... always has been. As pretty as she was when I first met her, one of her most attractive features was her scent. Always fresh, always light and flowery, and subtle enough that I had to be fairly close to notice. It wasn't long before I learned that she wore White Shoulders. She's continued to wear White Shoulders for the 25 years that I've known her, and it's still a very attractive fragrance to me, and she's still always the most attractive girl in the room!
In a day and age when many perfumes come across as subtly as a neon sign screaming for attention like a Ty Pennington megaphone, White Shoulders has a refined and dignified aroma that's pleasing, simple, sweet, timeless and easy on the nose. I've never understood why some women want to smell like a cheap air freshener. You know, the musky heavy smells that permeate the atmosphere with pungent lasers that tug nose hairs and choke innocent bystanders. Some fragrances are reminiscent of early insect repellents. (honest!) It's called an olfactory nerve ladies...it's a rootless sensory nerve and it will become de-sensitized if you beat it into submission long enough with nasal killing toxins! In which case you render your expensive toilet water transparent to you, but not to those around you who still have remnants of functioning sniffers. I've worked in a chemical facility for 24 years, and if I can taste your perform through my proboscous, I can't imagine what it's like for someone with an unadulterated waffle wiffer. If any of you remotely suspect that your one of those who "hits the bottle" a little too hard, you probably are! If you're offended by that comment, we're not even close to be even! It's a fragrance, not an etching material, and it shouldn't give me a sore throat! Be kind to my nose for heaven's sake! For most fragrances, a little bit goes along way. My six year old is just learning the "art" of proper perfume application. Hopefully she'll get it down soon enough, and hopefully others will follow suit...especially before church. (rolleyes...)
Sorry...got a little carried away there. This review needed some "fill" anyway. How much can you write about a timeless fragrance? There's no warranty, no manual (except for the not-so-subtle advice stated above), and no add on attachments. It's just a great smelling perfume with a lot of feminine intrigue. All things pretty and womanly come to mind when I smell it...it's sexy in the purist sense. At $30-$40 a bottle, it's not the cheapest show in town, but it's not out of line with most others. It's available in many department stores and pharmacy chains. Chances are good that if you pass by and I catch a wiff of that intoxicating White Shoulders nectar, I'll stop and give you a sincere compliment about how nice you smell. If I look like I'm choking and am trying to stay away, I probably am, and you're probably wearing some other "stink good" high priced designer splash that my six year old would enjoy.
