Arrogance Poudre Pour Femme

When I first opened the box I got a whif of cedar. The first blast is of cedar and litchi to me, then it settled down into a very musky, ricey powdery violet. Very soft and sweet. Love it! It has great staying power, however it is very close to the skin. My husband loves it, he said it smells like "Violet dryer sheets".

Soft and pretty worth it for powder lovers.

Oh what a mess. I love powdery perfumes, Ombre rose. infusion d'iris insolence, and I love the scent in Guerlain meteorites make up line. So I blind bought this from the states, but I didn't do my homework, so with new rules for import tax, including postage this is now maybe my most expensive perfume. The perfume itself, it is a sweet soft powder scent, there is a rice note in it that oddly enough reminds me of Kenzo Amour, the scent stays as it is on the skin. Even though it is nice, I am a bit dissapointed, I expected more, it lacks that little ekstra note, it feels like they finished the perfume in the middle of the prosess. The scent it self is also very veak, I can hardly detect it when I put my nose to the skin. So maybe, my dissapointment is colored by the fact that I payed to much for this, for the prize I could have had a Guerlain, and a Guerlain this is not.

Like others mentioned, there is not much going on here in terms of composition: it's pretty much lots of powdery, sweet violets. The amazing part is how strong this fragrance is, especially considering the type of scent. The initial blast is so overwhelming, you can almost feel the powder in your nose. But it settles quickly to a sweet, soft scent with a very substantial projection....kind of romantic, pleasant, but not outstanding. Poudre is not extremely long lasting on me (around 3-4 hours), but for the time it lasts it packs quite powerful a punch in terms of sillage. Poudre may appeal to those who like powdery fragrances, because in my opinion it is a serous powder bomb. After 3 wears a definite like from me. Makes me think of pastel pink laces and ruffles.

I blind bought this in my "intensive search for powdery" accumulation phase. The notes and the name are misleading, as it turns out it is not hugely powdery, but rather is a thin pencil shavings fragrance with a minor touch of floral powder. It's not sweet, and it doesn't last longer than two hours on me. It is pleasant and I use it occasionally in Winter. I wouldn't recommend rushing out to buy a bottle if you already own scents of this genre. It's ok but not the best example nor best value in this segment.

soft,dry,violet powder with sweetnes coming from the violets and amber.Reminds me somehow of Meteorites,but this has much more violets in it and is not so dry as Meteorites.I think i am in love. A MUST have for lovers of powdery-violet scents!

Quite powdery, but also very sweet but also smells like home depot when you first walk in. But that's fine! Because that smell is quite good. ♡

Bocsánat, de ez... Ez savanyú. Erős, szinte marja az orromat, számomra elviselhetetlen. Púder? Na ne! Szerencsére az én púderem nem ilyen szagú! Semmi édesség, semmi puhaság. Karcol. És tart, tart, tart... És a csomagolás! Te jó ég! Maga a borzalom. Műanyag, műanyag, műanyag. Mint az illat. Gagyi, ócska. Bocsánat, de ez van Nem tudom kinek, milyen évszakra, milyen napszakra ajánlanám. Leginkább senkinek. ☹️

This is a soft sweet little thing. violets and litchi is very prominant to me , making this very very sweet, It reminds me a bit off Galliano Galliano. but thi is more powdery, The rice is prominant to on my skin. i think this is bit to sweet and a bit boring on my skin . Good but a bit boring. they could put in somthing more to create deepth thats my thought on it;).

It's strange but this perfume is so subtle that i can barely smell it on my wrist, even directly after appication. I wanted to like this but i can't understand it. It's too 'dusty' for me, to 'low' profile. One would say it lacks personality. I adore Arrogance pour Femme and I wanted so much to like this one...and to buy it. The bottle is so pretty!

The smell of lipstick!The smell of face make-up powder...soft powdery violets ...litchi is very sweet......it keeps reminding me two scents by Guerlain:meteorites and insolence ...but this is quite unique to me :)The scent of the innocence ...:)

Soapy violet that lasts and lasts and lasts. Not much else going on in terms of other notes. So if you're into soapy violet perfumes that remain the same from first spritz until you wash them off, you'll love this.

You probably were partially anosmic to the scent. I love vanilla, but too much vanilla cause sensory overload just smells like burned rubber (VS Dreamy Vanilla for me just smells like there is a fire very near by).

Very tender and interesting fragrance. There is much powder in the top notes, but not as sweet as in Galliano.Stays close to the skin and the orris and violets make a wonderful smooth finish

Some people are saying this is a soft fragrance that stays close to the skin, others are saying it's overwhelming strong. Please excuse my frustration, but what is going on here?!
