Loukhoum Eau Poudree

This was my favorite of the loukhoums, my second favorite being Parfum du Soir. Theres something about this that is much more wearable than the others, it is extremely potent and long lasting. This is the only sweet fragrance i have that i would say has excellent lasting power, most fade very quickly on me. I love the powdered violet and the rose jammy scent with sugared almonds.... But it still has an almost green quality. It seems like the ideal fragrance for a pin up girl, flirtatious but innocent, powdery and very sweet. Also the bottle is iridescent green/pink/peach and it is so pretty, one of my favorite bottles ive ever had, the picture does it no justice at all. Price is reasonable at $80 for 50 ml- you really only need one spray and you are set for the whole day+ as this lasts for at least 15 hours on my skin and weeks on cloth (if you spray a few sprays). This is the only perfume I only use one spray of, despite me liking very potent perfumes, this is EXTREMELY strong if used liberally. The most fragrant and long lasting of the loukhoums, with the addition of violet, which I love. this is one to try before you buy. The strength of it is a little intimidating, or lovely to people like me who love STRONG fragrances. This is honestly the longest lasting sweet fragrance I have ever tried (thousands). update it has been a few years now and i still love this one, but i love the concentrated parfum de soir more now. i find this one less wearable now than soir and a lot less addictive. i still totally love it, and this one has one of my favorite bottles in my entire collection. much more floral than the concentrate. very much so worth trying, this comes down to personal taste and not quality.

Insanely enough for a fragrance named "Eau Poudree", Loukhoum Eau Poudree("powdery water" in English) is much less heavy on the powder and much, much prettier than either the original Loukhoum or the Parfum du Soir version. Loukhoum Eau Poudree is still undoubtedly a sister of the other two Keiko Mecheri Loukhoums, but the rose, narcissus and maybe even the violet leaf add a little acid note to the sweetness that is perfection itself. This Loukhoum is incredibly pretty and feminine, as well as totally unique. In its own subset of gourmand fragrances, I would consider Loukhoum Eau Poudree well nigh peerless. The first half hour or so after application is similar to the other Loukhoums, but when the magic develops, the gourmand, "Oh my goodness...Delicious!" aspect of this scent takes over and makes you feel ultra feminine, ultra pretty and more than a little edible. Its truly wonderful, really magical and ever so full bottle worthy as a secret indulgence and an evening perfume. Note that of all three Loukhoums, Eau Poudree is the only eau de toilette, yet its lasting power earns it a 9/10 (10 hours and then some!), its sillage is a lovely 8/10 and all around, its unique and delicious prettiness earns it a 9/10 in my little book of scents. Fabulous and very highly recommended to grown up gourmand lovers! PS: Because the powdery Orris root note does take a little getting used to, I also recommend testing Loukhoum Eau Poudree from a spray. The Posh Peasant (not affiliated, bought my Eau Poudree there, though) has them.

Oh holy mother of moly do I love this perfume! I've been searching for my "perfect almond" and I've found it! When I sprayed this on I smelled a very sugary powder puff almond with a hint of rose and something a little fresh like grass (violet leaf). It's got some vanilla throw into the powdery sweetness as well. The original loukhoum is much more heavy than this with a very pronounced honey note making it sticky sweet like powdered gooey melty candy. (Might sound like I'm trying to diss it, I'm not I have it and love it!) Loukhoum eau poudre smells more like sugared almonds rolled around in vanilla talcum powder in a pastel pink colored room. Roses in a vase right next to the powdered nuts that you can clearly smell without it over taking the fragrance. Loukhoum eau poudre is extremely feminine and delicate. For perfect, pretty, and powdered almond it is the right choice!

This is very soft, sweet, and lovely. I’m confused about the comments about the supposed good sillage though. I personally found this weak. Granted, I usually wear sillage bombs (like Mugler Angel) and have been wearing a lot of Arab scents lately, so my perspective might be different than those who usually wear skin scents or Designer French fragrances with medium sillage. I would be all over splurging if it actually was a sillage bomb. To me, it smells like my favorite rose Turkish delight candy. It’s like I walked into a Turkish candy store. That alone is enough to make me like it. Soft, powdery, and jammy. Very innocent, like a cherub napping on a cloud. My kid says it “smells like a powdered jelly donut”. I can’t disagree with that. 😋 This goes into the “like, not love” category though, especially at that price point. I’d grab it on a good sale though.

I squeezed every last drop from my Luckyscent sample until I had to give in and buy the full size. The powder keeps the sweetness in check, and the result is a gourmand that (for me) lasts all day and never goes rotten. I like to think of the sugar note as an almost sterile sugar cube in a lab-- the sugar presents fully as it's own note and keeps the scent from turning too juvenile. The first time I wore this scent out after purchasing the full size, my Uber driver asked me if my scent was Chanel, asked the name, and then asked me to type the name of the perfume into his phone. Absolutely needs to be tested on your individual skin chemistry, but if you're a powder nut like me, it's everything. Hoping the best for whoever my Uber driver had in mind when he smelled this!

This is an absolutely gorgeous scent! I can't wait to finally wear this in spring and summer again. I love oriental fragrances, but some of them, especially the ones that are heavy on vanilla and almond, can become too overpowering and impossible to wear in hot and humid weather. But "Loukhoum Eau Poudree" has an almond-y, feathery light sweetness with just the right amount of green notes provided by the violet leafs and narcissus, making it appear ever so fresh and almost breezy as opposed to just cloyingly and heavily sweet. And this nifty composition stays on my skin as it is, for hours. It has polite sillage as well. It's nothing groundbreaking, but definitely a very, very well blended feminine and classy "feel good" frag! Love this!

powdery sweet miracle, not a baby powder type, but full of sophistication and feminine tones.. Excellent staying power & excellent sillage, hard to believe that this is supposed to be a milder version of Loukhoum, i was expexting a light and airy scent but i am pleasently surprised. i wore this to the office today and received compliments from 4 male colleagues and a from customer, he wrote down its name to buy for his wife, he also said "this doesnt smell like something i can find in duty free" wow! was not expecting such a spot on comment from a male.. It really smells different

I actually prefer this to the original Loukhoum though both smell delicious. Eau Poudree is like the delicate, dainty, more refined sister to Loukhoum's life of the party ways. If Loukhoum is sticky sweet like the treat it's named after, Eau Poudree is, true to its name, powdery sweet and gentle. It won't stick to your teeth. It's actually light enough that I think it can be worn year round. If you like gourmands this is a "must try." And if you're on the fence about whether you like them or not, this is worth trying as a prime example of a high quality gourmand.

There is very romantic, rosy, feminine, powdery feel in this lovely sweet fragrance. Quite addictive, easy little luxury. The combination of almonds, vanilla and sugar (and cherries or something that creates "cherry-like" impression), makes it very gourmand indeed. It is kind of innocently gourmand though and lightly flowery, all in all very appealing. I would wear it if I wanted to feel really girly. Floaty summer skirts and wavy hair. :-)

Holy diabetic shock! I didn't expect this to be so sweet! This is really like wearing candy...a fluffy pink confection. It reminds me of eating alot of pink divinity or something like that. Pink divinity rolled up in tons of powder. I really didn't know how to feel about this perfume at first but it is growing on me. Longevity and sillage are good and I do get a little floral in the drydown. I may get a FB...this is a fun one for Saturdays!

So I finally got the chance to test this scent via a luckyscent. They do have the new, square 100ml bottles on their website and I guess they sent me a sample of this current version - and I really like it a lot. I know there was a prior version (pink, flowershaped bottle with 50ml). Can anyone who knows both versions tell me if the scent itself changed with the bottle design or if it is the same?

This is the softer, less heavy and more wearable version of the original Loukhoum: I can still smell a rich, sweet scent of vanilla, almond, rose and honey, but with a little touch of green freshness - due to the violet leaf - and, above all, with a more powdery base. Being a big fan of powdery fragrances (more than gourmands), I really enjoy the Eau poudrée more than the original one!

I had the chance to get a sample of this. I find Insolence nice but too powdery for me; this perfume is a toned down version of Insolence and is "just right". I just put a tiny dab on each wrist and it went a long way; my coworker said, "You smell like a clean baby! I love it!" It does have an expensive baby powder smell to it. The drydown is a delicious rose-tinged sugar.

I really like this fragrance. I love anything almonds and sugar. this is a heavy almond fragrance. Unfortunately the lasting power is not great one me, I know sillage is excellent because I do get compliments on this. Leans more female in my opinion. I really like it and would recommend if you love floral almonds with sugar! 7/10 because longevity is not the greatest!

Scored original, pink bottle for 46 bucks and i can not be happier. I own vintage Loukhoum and these two are 98% similar. Eau Poudree has some small nuances that are different somewhere mid wearing, but the opening and dry down are exactly the same. However, as a collector, i can't believe my luck scoring this so cheap. Pink bottle is simply beautiful!

Very sweet honeyed pink roses with the powderiness of almonds and cristal sugar. It's much rosier than the original, which ironically is more powdery and nutty; I prefer this one. It's feminine and delicious, it's the fragrance that reminds me of rose turkish delights the most.

I don't like the taste of turkish delight, but this is so delicious to the point where I wish I could drink a bottle. I feel like I've bathed in the powdery residue of candied rosewater.

delicious smelling, along the lines of butterscotch or toffee. Not that it totally smell like those two, but the qualities are similar, as in warm, thick, and sweet smell.

Poudre scent, as promised. Not as honeyed as the classic, but softer, subtler, powdery cloud with floral undertones. Very likeable. Lasts 2 days.

Lovely rosy fluff and bittersweet almond, almost lacquer-like, solvent-y in the best way, kind of like nail polish. Nose-yummy.
