Powder Love

Sweet, powdery, fluffy, musky, white floral, amber/warm, caramel, almond, feminine, sensual, elegant, modern, sophisticated, chic, ethereal, charming, whimsical, enchanting , delightful, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting This is super pretty! It’s Delightfully delicate, but has a definite presence too! It’s not the sugar bomb that you might expect from the notes, although the sweetness is still there. Think the powdery coating on a marshmallow instead of the whole thing, and the delicate whisps of spun sugar instead of a mouthful of cotton candy. Those intertwine beautifully with the sweet and citrusy orange blossom and nutty and powdery candied almond. The dry down shines with the addition of soft musk and caramel-like and vanillic tonka bean. Overall, it’s a very sophisticated, chic, and elegant marshmallow and cotton candy blend swirled with orange blossom, caramel, candied almond, and musk, that’s the perfect gourmand for the clean girl aesthetic. Whenever I very first tried mine I was surprised because it wasn’t the sugar bomb that I’d been expecting (for example something along the lines of LDBS, Pink Sugar, ect). However, after giving it a chance to just be what it actually was I really fell in love with it. It comes across much more like Valentino DBIR Ivory and YSL Black Opium Glitter (obviously without the coffee note), and they’re actually quite similar, especially DBIR Ivory. Ivory is extremely close, just a little more citrusy because it has a green mandarin note, but otherwise at least to me they smell almost identical. This feels very feminine to me, and suitable for women of all ages. I think it works well throughout the whole year because it’s sweet and cozy enough for the fall and winter, but also delicate enough for spring and summer so as not to be cloying. This feels most suitable for casual occasions, work/school, and maybe even date nights if you want something sweet and pretty as opposed to deep, dark, and sensual. I get great performance with Powder Love. The longevity is excellent, It literally lasts throughout the entire day on my skin. The projection is around moderate, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me.

Sweet, powdery, musky, floral, nutty, warm, delicate, soft, feminine, sensual, elegant, chic, charming, whimsical, ethereal, radiant, graceful , dreamy, flirty, playful, sophisticated, delightful, inviting, alluring, tempting, cozy I want to start by really exaggerating to PLEASE just give this a chance to be what it is as its own scent without expectations or preconceptions . Once I let go of my ideas for what I thought this would be was when I discovered how very beautiful it actually is, and truly enjoyed it for that! So, give it some time and chances before writing it off. I’m certainly very glad that I did! In doing so I almost feel as if I’ve discovered a hidden treasure that everyone else is somehow overlooking! Despite the sugary notes, Don’t expect an intense sugar rush here. This is sweet, and leans somewhat gourmand, but has a more simplistic musky and powdery sweetness as opposed to anything full on gourmand with rich, decadent, or heavy sweetness. Think more of the marshmallow’s powdery dusting as opposed to the marshmallow itself, and of the delicate wisps of spun sugar creating the cotton candy as opposed to anything like a mouthful of it. It’s actually quite sophisticated. The orange blossom adds a beautiful citrusy floral with a subtle soapiness, and candied almonds add a delicate, delightful, and delicious powdery sweetness. The dry down becomes more musky and gains a warm vanillic caramel scent from the tonka bean. I am somewhat reminded of Valentino DBIR Ivory with this one. They share some notes like marshmallow, orange blossom, and musk, and have a similar overall feeling to them. I do have several other JHAG fragrances including Lust for Sun, Vanilla Vibes (my 2 favorites), Miami Shake, Not A Perfume, Pear Inc, Magnolia Bliss, and Juliette.

@HooperG so to me this feels feminine, but I also think that you should wear whatever you like. On me it’s predominantly a soft and fluffy musky marshmallow with some orange blossom and a touch on tonka intertwined. It’s not sugary sweet like LDBS, Oriana, or Pink Sugar, but it has a pretty, almost delicate sweetness to it. Think of the sweetness like the powder on the outside of a marshmallow, or like the delicate wisps of cotton candy instead of a mouthful. Honestly, I find it the most similar to Valentino DBIR Ivory. They’re surprisingly really quite similar to each other. The other “reminds me of” fragrances are slightly similar, but as I mentioned they’re much sweeter. I saw the notes for this one, and knew I was blind buying it as soon as it was available. It was quite different from what I was expecting though. However, once I let go of my preconceptions I loved it for what it actually was. I personally tend to prefer sweeter scents like LDBS, Oriana, Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Pink Sugar, ect, but this feels like a more sophisticated marshmallow and cotton candy scent. It’s kind of subtle, but it’s got great longevity. I only bought the travel spray of it, but I’ll be buying a larger bottle soon! I’ve already used more than half of the travel spray which really means something considering how large of a collection I have. It’s definitely in my top 3 JHAG fragrances along with Lust for Sun and Vanilla Vibes! I agree with what Arachnoslut said about this being basic yet lovable, and like the popular girl at school who is popular not only because she’s beautiful, but because she’s also genuinely a good person. That really does feel like the vibe I’m getting from Powder Love. For some reference, some of my other favorite marshmallow/cotton Candy scents include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, JPG Classique Pin Up, YSL Black Opium Glitter, Valentino DBIR Ivory, Skylar Boardwalk Delight, Pink Sugar, Gold Sugar, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Cotton Candy Clouds

Words can't describe how much I adore this fragrance. I feel like they hit the nail on the head with the promotional photos, as that is exactly what I picture when I smell this; floating through the sky surrounded by soft and wispy clouds of spun sugar. There is also a freshly laundered vibe to it, like hanging freshly washed linens out to dry under a pink sky (did not mean for that to rhyme!). As the name would suggest, it is VERY powdery. Powdery in a way that reminds me of Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato. Despite not being a sugar bomb, it is still very sweet, but delicate. Because of this, I was concerned about its longevity, but I can confirm that it has amazing lasting power. Before I purchased my bottle, I had sprayed my wrist with my decant before I went to the gym to test. Throughout my 2 hours of being there, I could smell it emanating from my arm, and was a bit worried that it was too strong for the gym. This perfume has made its way to the top of my collection, as I want to reach for it all the time. Signature scent worthy for sure! ☁️🩷🎀

I’ve gone through such a rollercoaster with this perfume; I was excited for it, then nervous to buy it after its release because it seemed to disappoint a lot of people. I recently decided to take a chance and bought a 50ml bottle and I’m honestly in love with this fragrance. On my skin, it’s super powdery at first, but it dries down to this nice, fluffy, marshmallow and cotton candy like scent. It’s sweet to my nose but thankfully not too cloying. It’s just so pretty and feminine - but don’t let that stop you if you’re interested and don’t necessarily feel like you align with that; at the end of the day, it smells really freaking good and would on anyone. I pair this with a baby powder scented lotion and it’s just so comforting 🩷 I’m super happy this fragrance worked out for me and I’m excited to see how it ages. Since the reviews are so mixed, I would say to try smelling this in person if you can first before buying!
