What does Talc smell like?

The notes are ambrette seed, white iris, rice absolute and white cedar. Powdery and creamy accords dominate, with a fresh, floral feel alongside them. Sweetness and spice stay in the background and soften the scent, while white cedar gives it a light woody frame.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters point to spring, summer and fall, with daily wear and the office leading the occasions. It reads somewhat more feminine than masculine. Mugler Over the Musk and Aerin Ambrette de Noir have a close profile.
