CreamyWhat does Poudre Désir smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange, pink pepper and bergamot, a fresh citrus start with a light spicy edge. In the heart, gardenia, Egyptian jasmine, jasmine and iris take over, turning creamy and floral. The base of musk, cedarwood and heliotrope leaves a powdery, softly sweet trail.
Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall close behind. It leans towards daily, office and leisure wear. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, and just over half of voters call it feminine. Xerjoff Lua and Jacques Fath Irissime have a close profile.
