Teint de Neige

Warning: this is technically not a review, but rather a very long love letter/tale/diary page where I reminisce on my ongoing experience with this scent, as well as a high praise to competent, patient, insightful, and knowledgeable sales assistants. Proceed at your own risk. ;) I happened upon it some years ago, by accident. Picture this: one cool sunny winter late morning in Rome, the air is crisp but the sun has a touch of warmth, we're close to Christmas so decorations and lights are on and the atmosphere is festive. I was walking on a street full of shops when I suddenly marched into an old, slightly upscale, and very well-known perfume shop, went to one of the sales assistant with a request: I told him that I recently tried Prada Infusion d’Iris, liked the cleanliness and soapiness of the scent, but was very let down by the appallingly poor staying power (especially when compared to the price). Would he be able to recommend a similar perfume that wouldn’t be gone after an hour? He asked me a few questions, I mentioned, incidentally, that I tried and liked a lot Bas de Soie by Lutens in the recent past but that was not quite what I had in mind. If by this time you’re thinking how on earth can you go from Infusion d’Iris to Teint de Neige that have almost nothing in common but the iris note I would agree, but bear with me. I cannot praise enough how the sales assistant read me and listened to me, because he not only took in my appearance - brunette, mid-20s, red lipstick, cat eye, minimalist dark clothes, red wool coat - but also saw deeper than that. I have some friends that jokingly call me Diva, which I am anything but by the way, it’s just I am a little aloof when you first meet me but then I warm up. Anyway, he anticipated my needs and introduced me to something I didn’t know I liked myself: powder. I mean, I knew and I even loved the smell of talc powder, ten years before as a teenager I had briefly been obsessed with Bvlgari Petits and Mamans, what I mean is that I was not aware of my love for powdery scents on a conscious level. He said after a while that since I said no to Bas de Soie, which was one of his first choices for me (he definitely picked on the aloofness there), he was going to go on another route. We talked a little and eventually reduced the samples to three: Lutens Daim Blond, Teint de Neige and a third scent that for the life of me I can’t remember. After smelling them on the strips I discarded the forgotten third and spritzed the other two on the skin. At first I liked them both but almost immediately got the apricot in Lutens and I’m not really a fan of fruity perfumes, so that was more and more a no every minute that went by. On the other hand, with Teint de Neige, in addition to being love at first sniff, the infatuation grew with the passing of time. I didn’t buy it that day, the very competent shop assistant advised that I spend the day with it and see how it evolved on my skin. Not only it evolved beautifully, I could still smell it the next day after a shower. I went back a week later and got a bottle. Now it’s become my signature, I wear it almost every day, in winter and also in summer because I don’t believe in the seasonality of scents (sorry not sorry for the people around me), and although I refrain to perfume during daytime in summer it’s not really out of concern for the others, just for fear of the perfume reacting with the light. I am vain and selfish like that! ;) Sillage and staying power, for me, are huge to the point that the more aware people recognise me by it, like I went to a party at a friend’s house and the hostess, that knows me quite well but didn’t know I had arrived, asked from another room if I was there only because she recognised the trail of perfume in the house. Christmas time a couple of years ago I went back to see my parents and at night, when my mother hugged me at the airport said she missed my perfume (as well as me lol) which I applied in the morning, and then she said she smelled it again the next morning when I walked in the kitchen for breakfast. A lot of people commented on it when I enter a shop or on a train carriage. In conclusion, this perfume now it’s become me, I inhabit it, it’s a million things to me, like lace lingerie under a comfy cashmere jumper, it’s old and new, a silk vintage dress worn with a leather biker jacket. I’m not saying it’s a complex perfume, or a revolutionary concept, I think I feel this way because I identify with it so much by now. And even if I know it’s ridiculous I feel like it’s mine and mine only, also because I’ve never walked past anyone else who wore it. I think I also like it so much because it compensates my aloofness, as if with its powdery sweetness told other people that I’m not the Ice Queen that I might seem at first. Ultimately I think that was my unconscious reason for writing off Bas de Soie from the start, that’s one perfume I like a lot but probably fear it would play too much into my perceived standoffishness. One last thing: yes it’s true, Iris by L’erbolario, which I would have loved to love since Villoresi is not really in my price range, is almost the exact copy, albeit much flatter, but compared side by side with Teint de Neige smells so cheap and chemical and plasticky it literally hurts. Back when I still lived in Italy it was not unusual to walk past women doused in the knockoff, it was very popular for a while but, dear oh dear, the headaches that I got smelling that!

Fragrance world is a very huge,mysterious world as you know,lots of scents,lots of variations,lots of changes in one taste during time,lots of masterpieces,lots of nice but unoriginal perfumes that sometimes we use and need more than masterpieces,it's really difficult to name a perfume as best perfume of my life,maybe not that difficult for some people,but for me,it's almost impossible,because I'm only 25..and just God knows how many works of art are gonna appear in next 50 years(in the case that I live that long)after owning almost 200 different perfumes from celebrity to niche,from classic and discontinued ones to moderns,I'm still amazed by any pretty scent I smell,try to seek good aspects of any fragrance,not weaknesses,and I believe this optimism is a gift..if I want to name a perfume which I love the most(till now)it is teint de neige of lorenzo villoresi I don't have a specific taste in perfumes,I'm a vanilla lover,I'm a rose lover,I'm a floral fan,And also I'm a powdery scents fan And this is modern queen of all powdery scents(classic queen of powdery scents is guerlain l'heru bleu in my eyes) I've recognized some people don't like powdery scents for they find them too dry in a chocking way,other ones dislike powdery fragrance because of cold,old,musty vibe they associate with powdery perfumes.non of these are the case here.it's not like a mashed chalk,dry.as it's not cold or soulless Teint de Neige has almost everything I love in a fragrance,it's sweet,in a delicious way,it's warm and cozy and still there is a hint of cool freshness in it,there is a hint of rose here sparkling,there is lots of powdery musk here,clean musk and there is powder,lots of powder,prettier than what any powder fan can imagine,it's powderyness is heliotropes powder(did I mention I die for heliotrope?) a soft,sweet,fluffy powder that doesn't fade,as it's warmed by your skin temperature this heliotrope blooms and blossoms more and there is a cloud of this powder surrounding you for long,long hours..teint the neige is a born when gourmand deliciousness,soft floral heaven and clean powder puff meet each other so it's gourmand,floral and powdery st the same time...innocent as a baby,soft as a baby skin,sweet as a baby..that's why teint de neige is my darling baby Longevity and sillage are decent,recommended to all sweet powder lovers Thanks for reading this long personal review,and excuse me for my bad English ❤❤❤❤❤

Teint de Neige , What to say what hasn't been already said ? I agree with all the reviews on here , some are so good they gave me goosebumps ,,, ,,,"Ike Angels on cloud dusting their wings " ,,,",like an ice cream parlour in the 60 s" ,,,"makeup and lipstick , little old ladies ,,,", All that is exactly what Teint de Neige smells like. It's a sweet , powdery, elegant and very femine perfume , it feels velvety and musky and soapy , it also smells of almonds and marzipan due to the heliotrope and the tonka. Big focus on Tonka here. It's plush, it's pwdery and its soapy , smells of face powder and talc , but has a fluffy freshness to it , I asume the rose and the Jasmine is responsible for that. Although you cannot smell the flowers , but without them it would be dull Teint de Neige also reminds me of Nivea cream , the ones that are in the tins right from Germany. Its a little different than the North ameraican Nivea cream . ,,,,, I just came across a review of Teint de Neige , so these aren't my words but it describes it perfectly , I wanted to share it ; "It is powdery, and deliciously sweet, while at the same time being elegant and erotic. What Mr Villoresi did here is really sheer genius: I mean, how many fragrances do you know that smell sexy and elegant, and childlike and mature, and gourmand and sophisticated at the same time? Right, not very many. Teint de Neige does all of this, and it does it effortlessly." Really well described in my opinion !

I think there’s some confusion to what this perfume smells like, the majority talking about powder, some about an “old lady” rose, and some, about musk. I just got this perfume, it was a blind buy as everything powder and Iris appeals to me. First sniffs and 1-2 hrs wearing have kind of been sufficient for an impression. To me this doesn’t smell like powder or baby. It might feel that way as the combination of the two main notes can resonate to something “airy” and “powdery”. It is not. This perfume is 50% heavy old school rose oil, and 50% white musk. That’s it. The rose oil, now, is not roses, it doesn’t smell like Delina or the flowers. Rose oil smells a bit deep and smoky and sticky, that’s what gives it that old lady, granny lipstick smell. The white musk is nice and thankfully not to screechy (Italians love their white musk and go overboard very easily), but this perfume is not baby-like or powdery. You want a stunning, sexy, sweet powdery perfume, you take Chanel Allure. THAT is worth the hype people show these new fragrances on social media. Is this perfume nice, yes it is. It’s creamy and comforting, as the two notes blend nicely and do smell clean, smooth, sweet powdery. Maybe the market did need something like this as i for one don’t know anything else that smells like this. So i’m happy i purchased it, and will wear it and probably also layer it for some added oomph.

Well, it's been a long while since I've written a review. But I felt the need to say that tonight I received the most fascinating feedback on this (or any!) perfume. My fiance walked in and said, "it smells like powder in here." I said, "that's me, 'Teint De Neige' perfume." Then he said, "it reminds me of Legolas." I stared at him in bewilderment. LEGOLAS! From Lord of The Rings! You know what? I get it. The cold, flawless beauty of Orlando Bloom with his long blonde "Legolas" locks. The "frozen in time" immortal quality of the Elves as they glide through their forests thick with branches like icicles. King Thranduil's "white jewels of pure starlight", Galadriel's "light of of Earendil, our most beloved star." Speaking of immortality, powder is a scent texture that reminds us of aged women and of newborn babies, simultaneously. It's a scent texture that reminds us of makeup, which we use to essentially "freeze" our face in a moment of (more) youthful beauty, or to "ice" the surface our skin. Remember, too, that magic powders have long been supposed to grant us immortality or prolonged youth. Teint De Neige is not a scent that I find particularly beautiful in itself, but it evokes timelessness, and sometimes a perfume that works magic is even better than one that's only beautiful.

So very powdery, sweet marsmellowy powder overpowers both musc and tonka bean until there is only a sweet powdery cloud around, for as long as you would have it and only in winter, it is even more beautifull outside in the cold. Did I mention that it is very powdery? Good, because it is. Teint de Neige translates quite romantically as "the color of the snow" and I imagined for a long time that it meant freshly fallen snow in winter, but failed to make the connection. In reality it refers to the snow white complexion that was praised in the Belle Epoque and was achieved by an excessive use of face powder. Now it makes sence. If you have worn it once, you will remember the scent forever and never mistake it for anything else.. until you come over Montale - Sweet Oriental Dream, - exactly the same fragrance, same behaviour, slightly more affordable in a less stylish bottle. Shocking, what if there are other imposters. As much as I love Teint de Neige, I only use a miniscule amount of it every winter. It is an addiction, I need a wiff, just to freshen up the memory, take it with me for a walk in the snow. It craves fresh air to shine.

I have to admit, as a millennial the baby powder scent association is a challenge at the outset, but the dry down is the softest, cosiest, most enveloping comfort blanket of a reward. Performance is unbelievable for an EDT. Powders feel like a frontier for me, *because* I find them challenging, but I also can see them becoming quite trendy again - they seem like a logical progression from cosy vanillas and shower-clean musks, and scent associations change generationally (some day, my future grandkids will describe “old lady smell” and it’ll be Glossier You, mark my words). Is this type of scent poised for a resurgence, or is it just me craving a soft vintage powder-puff, a Sofia-Coppola’s-Marie-Antoinette, a hug from the glamorous woman wearing diamonds to lunch? So I guess I’m addressing any other powder-curious lurkers out there: this is beautiful, this is immense, this smells like straight-up talc from your childhood. Give it a little time and keep an open mind, because I suspect the powder-faithful already know it’s a masterpiece and a solid place to start.

Powder Power. My very brief summary in two words. I had no advanced idea what this perfume is about as it was a freebie sample thrown in with another purchase. And until yesterday morning, I had no history with the brand Lorenzo Villoresi. In my rather large collection—almost 200 bottles— I have one other powder centric perfume Guerlain’s L'Heure Bleue. I like to wear L'Heure Bleue in the winter time right before I go to bed. I enjoy others in the genre, like Prada‘s Infusion d'Iris, but powder is not dominant. Teint de Neige is powder, powder, powder. And more powder. And it’s lovely. After I looked up the notes, I believe I can also smell heliotrope, musk and tonka. As expected, it’s a linear scent, just losing strength along the way. If I had to pick an energizing daytime powder perfume, that honor would go to Teint de Neige. Performance for an EDT is off the charts, in both projection and longevity. My husband could smell my perfume on a different floor in— some 40 feet away. Until yesterday, I did not think I was a big fan of powder in perfumes.

I do not understand any of the reviews that point out there is vanilla or sweetness to this fragrance. I have been using it and repurchasing many bottles since 2012. I myself absolutely abhor any kind of gourmand scents and even a slight whiff of candy cane sweetness would make me literally vomit. There is no vanilla here or at least not the one you encounter in artificially flavored ice creams. Have you ever smelled the real thing? There is no sweetness to it at all. What it does have is a generous dose of tonka bean and heliotrope that create that powdery feel, but to my nose rose is quite dominant from the beginning. There is a heavy dose of very clean musk and aldehydes that we usually associate with baby wipes, but there is so much more to this perfume. Personally, I do not think it resembles Johnson&Johnson products. It blooms beautifully and is suitable for any season, but it definitely is not a safe blind buy. You really must test it on skin. If you consider purchasing, go for the Edt. Tenacity and projection is extraordinary.

A very feminine and fluffy powder explosion! The most authentic "makeup" smell that I have tried. It literally smells like my makeup bags used to smell back in the day when I carried my big Estée Lauder loose powder in it and of course it would spill everywhere. This smells like the real deal. Teint de Neige smells very similar to the original Ombré Rose. The way it smelled back in the 80s before it was reformulated to death and made into a cheaper product (that sadly now smells of hairspray the first solid hour). I wore Ombre Rose for years back in the day and bought the new version recently and Teint de Neige actually smells more like the original Ombré Rose than the Ombré Rose of today. If you miss the original I believe you would be extremely happy with Teint de Neige. Classic retro powdery makeup smell. Teint de Neige is very potent. It packs a big powder punch! Just a couple of dabs and I felt like a powder sillage monster. Villoresi seems like a very quality product and at a very reasonable price by niche standards.

I find this perfume to be really beautiful and comforting as the season is changing from Winter to Spring. It's a warm, vanillic powder, rather than being cold and metallic. I don't really get cosmetic powder puff from this. It more reminds me of sweet powder on a pastry once it dries down. Warm and almost delightful. I own both this and Junoon and I believe that TdN smells like baby powder at the opening while Junoon smells like baby wipes. But honestly they dry down to something quite similar, so you probably don't need to own both. I believe that TdN is smoother but Junoon lasts longer. I will enjoy switching between these two to make sure that they last. If you are not able to get TdN because of price point but have access to Junoon, don't feel like you're truly missing out because they're similar enough overall. Both of these are very different from Bvlgari Pour Femme / Splendida Iris D'Or. That one smells more cold and distant, while these are warm and comforting.

My signature fragrance since 2017! Chased some lady down the street to ask what on earth she was wearing! :) Never smelt anything so stunningly beautiful. Powder bomb, lots of it. If powder, go crazy! I get why some people find it overwhelming though. I tried edp and edt. To be honest, I prefer edt as it has exceptional BEAST mode, 3 sprays in the morning is enough. 5 pm I still get compliments how lovely I smell. Travelled to Florence where I personally attended workshop in his creative house, what a memory :) Maestro Villoresi created powdery masterpiece, timeless, innocent yet intriguing. My forever perfume beating many cooler and trendier names in niche world. Performance and sillage: incredible, particularly for edt version. One of very few “real” ones. It stays on skin, furniture, pillows, lingers in rooms, corridors. Work colleagues know when exactly I enter building of 3k + people inside. Lol If you’re not into musk,rosy, powder overdose: stay away.

I bought this about 6 months ago as a spur of the moment blind buy, I had been in a powdery scent phase and it seemed right up my alley. When I received my bottle I was sort of put off by the sent. It was so suffocating, and dense. Even after drying on skin it was so opaque, just made bearable by the tonka. Flash forward to now, I think im starting to see it in a different light. Now im not gonna say that this is suddenly airy and light, but the initial scent of this is just a lot more tolerable. It's a big white cloud of sweet powder, very talcum. the rose gives body for a creamy floral bouquet. But I promise after it dries down a bit the tonka kicks in it is even prettier. Very pleasant, but also kind of loud. I wouldn't spray heavy with this one! Ive gotten few compliments from it, people usually say it smells like a baby. Sample before buying this, I would completely avoid this if you are averse to powdery scents in any capacity.

Ah, this scent is heavenly. :) Extremely powdery (but more soapy-powdery, definitely not like Iris by L' Erbolario which is rather vanillic/sweet, I barely notice any sweetness in Teint de Neige, maybe if so then only a tiny little bit in the drydown). I have EdT but it's longevity and sillage are wonderful (pretty noticeable by other people when one is wearing this). What I smell there is something slightly citrusy in the beginning, then delicate rose/jasmine soap, covered in (maybe make up) powder, and in lots of it. :) It's not a cheap scent but it ́s definitely worth the price, trust me. The drydown is slightly similar to Iris from L' Erbolario but overally I think you can definitely have both as they are still very different. Also, I don' t think this is a safe blind buy (though I personally bought it only based on the reviews here, thank you, people from Fragrantica :) ), unless you are a hard-core fan of powdery scents.

Soft, enveloping, and deeply comforting. Teint de Neige is powdery without being sweet, nostalgic without feeling dated. It has a quiet, cocooning quality - calming rather than performative. On my skin it feels like a veil of powder, musks, and florals that never turn sharp or intrusive. It settles quickly and wears close, creating an intimate, soothing presence rather than a statement. It also works beautifully as a layering fragrance. Worn with L’Astre by Le Galion, it becomes quietly luxurious, smoothing the composition and adding depth without overpowering it. Some people may experience mild sneezing on application due to the powdery materials, but this passes quickly and isn’t a sign of irritation. Once it settles, the scent becomes soft, warm, and very comforting. This isn’t about projection or drama. It’s about restraint, texture, and emotional comfort - a fragrance for those who appreciate subtlety with substance.

Such a fantastic fusion between musk, powder and heliotrope. Not exactly cosmetic powder and not really baby powder. Depending on temperature it projects from ice cool rose talc and warm slightly incensy powdery cosyness. It has a sweetness but is far from gourmande style - more like musky sweetness. In colder weather I mostly enjoy the cool rosy talc powder. It has a timeless and classical quality and it smells so clean and refined. The musk, warmth and sweetness seems to project better in warmer weather. In fact this is the best non-dirty musk I have ever encountered. This beauty is so clean and refined and still has something untamed - something fleeting. The swings between cold and warm and cold keeps me smelling all the time. Better than I ever expected. I have both EDT and EDP. EDT is more musky and EDP is more heliotrope - but the differences between them are minute. Longevity is better with EDP.

Got this perfume recommended to me at a perfumery in Paris called Nose and immediately fell in love. It’s the perfect baby powder perfume I’ve been looking for all these years. I think it helps that there’s no violet and/or iris in this, which is a reason why I don’t like a lot of famous powdery perfumes like Insolence by Guerlain. It's also a lot less one-note than Insolence; you may be able to only smell powder on the first spray of TdN, but I promise you that after an hour you'll be left with a delicious, powdery, floral vanilla! I still have the small sample of Teint de Neige I got from the perfumery and it is lasting me forever. This stuff is potent! I get nose-blind to perfumes so easily but this one lasts what feels like forever. When I run out of my sample I think I’ll have to get myself a full bottle, which might just last me a lifetime with how strong it is!

This smells like a beautiful, clean white, slightly makeup-ish powder - like a cherubs wing. I’m a man and this reminds me of talcum powder which might have been used after a haircut or a shave perhaps in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. I sometimes spray this on the back of the neck after a wet shave to emulate such a thing. The EDT lasts a very long time on skin and I have learned to be very light on the trigger. Less is more with this one. If you overspray, it may become cloying for the strength. Once, twice, and maybe three times - always away from the front of the face/neck. Overall, it’s a beautiful fragrance that I sometimes use instead of Dior Homme Intense when I want something a bit more streamline and squeaky clean. It also layers very well with Tom Ford’s Black Orchid which I tend to use when I go to bed at night. 10/10

I have the EdT. Teint de Neige is a beautiful powder-lover's dream! This perfume really shines as it warms on my skin - I get expensive rose-scented bar soap, finely-sifted powdered sugar, vintage makeup, and creamy vanilla milk. Somehow, it is both innocently youthful and richly elegant; supremely comforting, yet also refined. TdN has a way of being a "soft" scent that also projects. It surrounds me in a cloud of memory. In particular, it reminds me of my grandmother's body powder that she would apply after a shower with a cotton puff. As a young girl, I would emulate this indulgent ritual and coat myself in powder head-to-toe before putting on a fluffy bath robe and settling in to watch old stop-motion Christmas movies. Wearing this perfume brings me back to that happy time. I simply love it.

Heliotrope, musk, POWDER. . I love this. I came to it late after falling in love with a more niche and hard to get hold of Italian fragrance, Lorenzo Dante Ferro Fior Di Panna, a similar creamy white powder bomb beauty. My love for Fior Di Panna led me down a rabbit hole that ended with Teint de Neige, and now I reach for it often after my evening bath/shower and it’s become a real ‘relaxation time’ favourite. Wearable in all weathers and situations, though. A powder bomb with class. It goes without saying that you have to love that sweet, creamy, baby powder smell to even entertain this one, but if that’s your thing, this is the cream of the crop. Goes on strong and only needs 1-3 sprays, ends up with medium projection, lasts for hours and hours, clings to clothes and hair. Oh baby!

I am going to buy a full bottle. At first my decant smelled like an unpleasant baby powder. I love baby powder but this was not like an ethereal snowy veil, it was unpleasantly old fashioned and had a plasticky nauseating quality. I truly understood the reviews calling this suffocating, and overwhelming. However over the past week it's turned into that snow like baby powder of my dreams. The plasticky quality is gone. It's sweet, airy, yet refined. Cuddly, elegant and suitable for all seasons. On skin and clothes it's heavenly. Need a full bottle. It's very strong with impressive sillage, so I would say spray sparingly for that airy baby powder scent. Edit: This is now my signature scent and I love it. I've gotten many compliments from people who don't typically love perfume.

Extraordinary example of high-level niche perfumery. Lorenzo Villoresi Florentine nose, creator of this and other wonderful fragrances. The story is very special: one day while I was in a waiting room I smelled this wonderful powdery, fresh, clean perfume that a woman who was waiting her turn wore in a very elegant way. Enthusiastic about such pleasant beauty for my sense of smell, I had no scruples and without any fear I asked him what perfume he wore ... you kindly introduce me to this wonder. It was love at first sight, I fell in love instantly. In it I find everything I am looking for in a powdery perfume, from white and musky floral accords to the pleasant heliotrope. A wonderful perfume with an elegant and clean sillage, with an excellent duration over time.

thank u frangratican community for ur amazing spot on advice on getting this perfume for anyone who loves powdery scents :) a couple of years ago someone had sent me a PM & sed they thought i would really love this scent and i have seen countless forum chats about this perfume sooooooooooooo i finally bought a bottle & omg i am in love !!!! this is my kind of scent !!! its powder powder & more powder lol.......with dashes of beautiful heliotrope rose & ylang ylang blended so beautifully ........its creamy & smooth & smells like heaven - soft puffy clouds of powder sprinkled with floral fairy dust :) i would say more grown up powder than youthful but not in a grandma way (imo) again thank you community - i am in love lol :)

Purchased this after falling in love with clean scents- blind buy and not disappointed. Clean, feminine and powdery-I also layer it with PDM Valaya for that ethereal airy twist. Quite good value for a very long lasting fragrance- bought after one of the influencers on uTube raved about it. Follow up, I made the above post but didn’t upload it. I’m selling on my fragrance for two reasons- one it’s just too strong- yes it’s all the above and it’s lovely but I’ve noticed I’m not reaching for it as it’s polarising. Another reason is that I prefer fragrances like musk therapy. The only advice I’d give is try and test it first. This fragrance lasts for days on clothing and I can still smell it on a scent strip from weeks ago.

This is how I imagine the clouds in heaven must smell! Deliciously powdery, I do not sense "baby powder" at all, it is much more "sweet powder on a pastry" as described by Lavendery72 below. As the name implies, it does create a "snowy" sensation and is perfect to wear in the winter time. I also enjoy wearing it to bed year-round for the sweetest dreams. Heliotrope and tonka lend a hint of vanilla, and light floral notes combine to create a scent that is simply divine! Longevity and silage are excellent!! I recently sampled Angel's Dust and noted similarities, but Angel's Dust is warm and sensual while Teint de Neige is crisp and cool. Teint de Neige is my very favorite powdery perfume!

After years of wanting to smell this, I was finally able to when I came across a small store in Italy that stores Lorenzo Villoresi. And I'm so happy I got to, because wow. This fragrance is absolutely everything I hoped/expected/wanted it to be! Gorgeously feminine, soft, sweet, cuddly powdery scent, very clean, very beautiful. The sales lady sprayed this on me and I could still smell it +10 hours later, even though it's an EDT and the heat in Italy made almost all my fragrances vanish on me instantly. Currently looking to buy a full sized bottle of this as this fragrance is right up my alley and I think I'd get so much wear and joy out of it!

As an avid powdery perfumes lover, I couldn't wait to sniff this one. Finally on my trip to Italy I saw this gem. And oh my goodness, it is divine. When you first spray it, it smells exactly like L'Erbolario Iris, but the drydown is what makes these two perfumes different. With Iris it's very sweet and vanilla like, while with this one is that old school, classy and sophisticated powder/make-up smell. Gorgeous! The staying power is amazing. I also sprayed my scarf and even now, a week later, I can still smell it on. Perfect perfume that went straight to my "want" list.

I have a lack of words to describe how heavenly good is this perfume – it’s a perfume of angels! They are sitting just on the clouds, laughing, dusting their faces and hair with powder which falls down from the sky covering the ground with beautiful white blanket of snow... I LOVE IT! I can not separate notes of flowers – all I feel is powder, musk, heliotrope...The longevity is extremely good – it last’s all day. This clean, fresh, intimate, elegant scent, which makes me to be a better person, will be just perfect gift for myself for the next Christmas...

I was sent a wee sample of this and yep I fell for it. Extraordinary longevity and the sillage is big as well so you don't need much. Yes, it is baby powder on steroids but my it is very moreish. Not too much musk or sweetness for that matter. Powdery heliotrope heaven. It couldn't get more feminine if it tried. Feminine yet not cheap and girly. I couldn't see me wearing this outside but it's lovely for when you are just chilling. I wouldn't dare wear it in warm conditions. It would overwhelm the wearer and anyone else in the room!

The perfect description of this fragrance would be baby wipes. It’s exactly what it smells like when you first spray it. After the cool down it dries into a sweet sugary note that is very beautiful. It’s a perfect clean and inoffensive fragrance. I’ve been complimented while wearing this a lot. If you’re into clean powdery scents that smell like baby powder or wipes this is a perfect scent for you. Personally I think it will be a staple for me since it’s perfect for all times all seasons.

First gut reaction: "Angel's Dust" from Francesca Bianchi and "L'Eau d'Hiver" by Frederic Malle / Jean-Claude Ellena -- somewhere in between, the caressing smooth heliotrope of the Malle and the powdery floral of the Bianchi. Truly lovely imo (I have the edp). Also brings to mind "Ombre Rose" by Francoise Caron / Jean Charles Brosseau, not exactly the smell (Ombre Rose is more 'plasticky' and this is more 'chlorine') but the powdery floral. Maybe one could say the texture is similar...

Powder, and sugar, sugar, sugar. The opening is sickly sweet. It gets wearable after about two hours when some floral notes appear, maybe with musk and tonka beans. Be careful not to overspray and never near your face. It lasts for hours, and gets better only when the heavy powder finally dissipates and gives way to more interesting notes. Only for cold weather. - After comparing, I must say EdT is better than EdP. EdP is surprisingly weaker and has less character.

Unabashedly powdery, blissfully vanillic, with soft floral undertones, this feels like a return to childhood and carelessness. I dream of having the whole bath product line, which includes a powder puff, and using it to soak in the tub, before tucking myself to a blissful sleep. It conjures images of perfectly made-up pin-up girls from the 50s or a baby getting ready for its first communion. Powerful stuff, too, it stays on skin and fabrics well into the next day.

Beautifully classic. Having a bit of an obsession with the victorian era, this is something a woman of that time period would wear. It's lavender spiked talcum powder on frosted rosy cheeks. It's warm and musky while still evoking this image of snowy fields in winter and women wearing furs. This could be my signature scent. I will get a full bottle after finishing my purse spray. in fact, i might get the entire scent family. I am in love.

This is a recent purchase for me. Very expensive, but sooo nice for a baby powder type frag. Very similar to Joseph Jivago Sweet Dreams, except this is a much more exquisite and richly formed potion. The Sweet Dreams gives me a raging headache--it's a very cheap knockoff at best. This is a beautiful, rich, creamy, comforting scent, and one of the best blind buys I have ever made, but be warned--a VERY LITTLE goes a VERY LONG WAY.

Wow This is powder in a bottle As much as I tried fragrances that are marked as “powdery” nothing comes close to this one When I sprayed it on a friend of mine the first thing she said was “baby powder” Considering the concentration as an edt the performance was impressive yes I did overspray but it was worth it It’s a scent that you choose to wear not what influencers call it as a dumb reach I actually enjoyed it very much

is this not the best fragrance ever? I am powdery fragrance junky so for me it is love love love pure, strong but not heavy fresh particular scent powder musk powder musk I never bough it it is very expensive more than 120 euro with or without shipping .. don't know my mother in law , it is her favorite one and I love it .. i just don't want perfume that my mother in law has its why i don't buy it

This is utterly beautiful and by far the best powder fragrance I have tried. The floral aspect makes it modern and fresh, with great longevity and decent sillage. There's a gentle sweetness in the background that draws you in... I can totally understand the rave reviews, all true and justified in my opinion. Teint de Neige is very alluring and sophisticated - I'm in love!

Mm, yes. Someone described heliotrope as "vanilla with petals" and it holds true in this case as well. The powdery nature of heliotrope also tends to read as almond, particularly in sweeter compositions such as this one. Rose and ylang ylang add sensuality. Mm. Delicious, white and fluffy but also floral enough not to go full gourmand. Love.

I just got it today and I have to share my excitement. It's THE fragrance I was looking for since I was 9! My teacher had an amazing perfume and I was so shy to ask her what it was. After a long time of searching I finally found it also thanks to nice people from Fragrantica. I'm in heaven lying on the clouds made of powder and I love it.

my signature scent out of all the ones i have, clean, mature, luxurious, wonderful longevity and sillage. This one has everything i hoped a fragrance would have.. if baby powder is all you can smell, try this in an odor-free room, in another time. It has depth, but it’s blended so well you need to put effort to feel its layers.

This is one of two fragrances you must own if you love powder. I get compliments from people who do not even like perfume on people Longevity and sillage are monsters and I love it! This review is based on the EDT. I have just placed an order for the EDP. I'llburris be back if there is something significant to report!

A lovely powdery fragrance! Very elegant. The powdery notes overcome all the other notes, but they are, still, distinguishable. Especially the Tonka, which gives it an almond vibe, then the sugar is very powerful and realistic. 10/10. Even people who are not into powdery perfumes said it smells very, very good.

Oh yes I totally agree, Soofiya's review made me cry too!! Gorgeous!!! Also, I want to say thank you to maria_elena for her wonderful and touching story. Thank you both! Such lovely reading!! And this perfume!! What a fabulously gorgeous creation! Goodness me it's stunning! I adore it!

A very soft projecting gentle baby powder fragrance. I think it's pretty and leaves a sweet scent bubble. I'm wearing the EDT version. I also have the EDP and that one smells similar but less baby powder and leans more pond's cream. I prefer the EDT for that reason.

God, it's gorgeous. The most that neither is the powder! It is this fragrance that conveys the "powder " in all its glory. Such a lovely, tender, sweet, languid powder ) My mum said, "Your perfume smells like sunflower..." And i don't feel it, just enjoy the powder.

i’ve never been able to smell any powdery scent in perfumes that list “powdery” among their main accords, but i still wanted a powdery fragrance. so i bought this perfume without trying.And yes, this is exactly the pure clean baby powder scent i was looking for.

This will not be a very usefull comment I'm sorry but I judt wanted to say, if my house was on fire and I had to pick just two perfumes in the rush, it would for sure be this one, and Jungle elephant (they of course have nothing in common)

The quintessential powdery perfume, so glamorous, so pretty and a little vintage. You really have to enjoy a heavy dose of powder. It does have that Kiehl’s-style musk aspect to it, a soft animalic glow that I personally enjoy very much.

Clean, sweet and powdery at the same time. I know for sure that I smell nice and clean whenever I wear Teint de Neige EDT. I find the sweetness of EDP suffocating, EDT on the other hand manages to balance everything perfectly.
