L'Empreinte - La Chimère

Le Père Pelletier

Fresh · Floral · Synthetic

Le Père Pelletier L'Empreinte - La Chimère is a fresh, powdery women's fragrance that sets jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley over amber and musk; it has been discontinued. The florals lead: jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley give it a clean, fresh floral character. Amber and musk settle this onto a creamy, powdery base, while the synthetic accord adds a smooth, slightly abstract edge. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Most also read it as feminine. Santa Maria Novella Muschio and Montale Roses Musk (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Poudre de Riz

7.1

Le Père Pelletier

Floral · Sweet · Woody

Le Père Pelletier Poudre de Riz is a sweet, creamy floral built on iris and violet, a soft powdery scent that suits daily wear. Iris and violet open the scent in a powdery way, while rose and jasmine add a floral warmth at the heart. In the base, cedar, heliotrope and musk set it on a woody footing and carry it toward a sweet, creamy finish. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. About half of voters find it feminine, and while spring leads slightly, all four seasons draw similar votes. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, then the office. Solinotes Fleur d'Iris and LR Antigua have a close profile.
