Orchid Powder

I have a sample of this fragrance and I ́ve been testing it today. I really get the main notes in this - ylang-ylang (or the "yellow flowers" element, which you can find in Poeme by Lancome, for example) and the coconut one - nice and creamy. I also get the powder - there is definitely a little bit of make-up, or compact powder note to it and it ́s really nice. The fragrance is sweet and powdery. The opening is slightly soapy. Overall it ́s a really beautiful, comfy scent. I do agree with one of the comments below that points out the pink-powdery effect. It doesn ́t really remind me of Powder Flower by Montale or Iris by L ́Erbolario. In terms of longevity and sillage it ́s really not weak. I had only few sprays but I ́ve been getting the scent trail here and there from time to time. I may not buy a full bottle immediately but in future, I may do so at some point. As a collector of powdery perfumes, this one represents a different take at classic baby-powderish scents (the coconut makes it somehow different. The ylang ylang, too). Also, it has a little bit of that plastic note that makes it somehow special. I don ́t mind it may evoke plastic toys or barbies at times. :) it ́s really lovely.

my first Montale! was so excited for this house as i keep looking for something with really impressive sillage, and it is impressing me easily! the scent is unique in my collection even though i love powders and have others, it feels more soapy to me? maybe cause its so pungent i just dont associate it with powder. its like a powder-scented soap though the name is not misleading at all dont worry! but one other thing, i dont get this at all after a while, but on first spray/sniffing the bottle it smells like a japanese gummy candy...lychee i think. definitely more soapy than candy i dont want to mislead the candy lovers ^^; just a nice note i picked up on! very safe blind buy, already adore and trust this house, cant wait to get some more <3 edit 04/05/23: the other night while putting new stock away at work, I caught a whiff of something and had a revelation about Orchid Powder. it was a box of tide pods. smelled *exactly* like the soapy top note here. I know this sounds disparaging to Montale but it didn't alter my love for it in the least - just found it very interesting!

Perfect cold days companion. Very likeable. Powdery-pink in effect. It makes me happy. It is pretty, warm, cheerful, comforting, slightly exotic. Reminiscent of parfumed powder with its fluffy softness. Not very complex but there is nothing ugly in the composition. No ambiguity, no harsh feelings.

Много дамски аромат. Бях изненадана, че беше забелязан положително от трима мъже в един ден. Отварянето му е малко остро, но трае кратко.

This is a very beautiful fragrance, but I think it suits women more than men...a true masterpiece!
