Poudre

I’m devastated they discontinued it 😫 Everything else I tried is not even close to that delicate powdery and sweet smell.. If anyone has found a replacement - please, let me know!

Reminds me of some vintage Guerlain or Caron that I can't put my nose on. Sharp in the top. Violet, orris with some almond. Vanilla support but not prominence. Rose making it a bit sharper floral. Starts out a vintage floral, not soapy and with an underlying "powder" accord but not powdery in the sense of most vintages because the sharpness keeps it lifting.

Jerome Epinette does it again Powder in a bottle Such elegance Such craftsmanship The only given is you must love iris or to be precise lipstick iris as they call it Performs wonderfully It projects for a while then it gets closer to skin Not unique but something incredible on its own I wore it I enjoyed it such a wonderful experience

Poudre is truly very feminine fragrance with velvet flowers, sweet a bit, with pleasant woodsy and vanilla undertones. The fragrance is very light, classy but not retro. Violet and iris are very beautiful and subtle in it.

Well, I have tested three perfumes of house Jovoy Paris –Poudrè, Rouge Assasin and Gardez Moi. Honestly and unfortunately I do not like any of them. My favorite category of perfumes is powdery, so all perfumes which refers with notes or with the name to this category, I want to test and my expectations are always high. Poudrè was not powdery at all, there are not listed aldehydes, but it seemed there should be... Neither hyacinth is not listed, but I felt something cold, metallic, very unpleasant. This sharp smell reminded the Bas de Soie, which contains hyacinth. Maybe it was the combo of mimosa and cedar, I do not know. Usually I like mimosa, it gives soft, honey-like vibe, but not here. Maybe it’s my chemistry, but Poudrè did not meet my hopes.
