What does Light Powdery smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though only a small number of votes stand behind that. No clear season or occasion stands out, and the unisex character means it can be worn by anyone.

As a whole it leaves a floral, powdery impression. Ylang-ylang and jasmine give a sweet, creamy floral heart, iris brings out the powdery side, and gaiac wood lays a woody base underneath. A slightly synthetic sheen can be felt too. Narciso Rodriguez Narciso (Eau de Parfum Poudrée) and Shiseido Zen Essence have a close profile.
