In this article, we would like to tell you about perfumes that smell like powder. They cannot be attributed to any of the established aromatic classifications. This fact is explained by the fact that the rather sweet and even slightly sugary smell of powder is rather capricious in handling. If you overdo it a little, the vulgar composition will quickly change to a subtle light shade.

Women's perfume

The first discoverers of powdery notes are perfumers from Guerlain. Released back in 1912, the legendary L'Heure Bleu eau de toilette has become the best-selling and successful water of this plan. The subtlest smell of this water envelops, like a haze that has fallen on the roofs of Paris preparing for bed. Delicate, subtle nutmeg-powdery fragrance, which includes notes of irises, jasmine and roses, breaks out of an ajar bottle.

Very soon after such a resounding success in 1925, Guerlain perfumers again surprised us with vanilla-powdery shades that harmonize perfectly with cinnamon and bergamot. They produced an oriental composition called Shalimar, which became a masterpiece of the twentieth century.

Powdery perfume scent

The powdery fragrance was also supported by Givenchy. The birth of an interesting powdery shade in those days was a rarity. L'Interdit from the Givenchy line, which perfumer Hubert de Givenchy created in 1955 especially for the famous and beloved Audrey Hepburn, deserves special attention. Unforgettable aroma combines woody, floral and spicy shades, slightly spiced with a delicate aroma of violet powder.

A lot of people love the classics. It was this powdery fragrance with the interesting name Y that was proposed in 1964 by Yves Saint-Laurent. Upon opening the bottle, floral notes of lily, rose and jasmine, lightly sweetened with powder, scattered around the room. Such a subtle, rather restrained soft scent in the right proportion emphasized all the sensuality of this composition.

However, powdery notes could truly boast of victory only at the very conclusion of the second millennium. At a time when a precarious calm was established in the world, there was a spirit of economic prosperity - it was then that there was a sharp jump in demand for all feminine, lush and elegant items. Then perfumers from Escada hastily began to create "powdered" recipes for new fragrances. And in 1990, a composition called Margaretha Ley was born. It was sold out from the shelves of all elite perfume shops.

The fragrance has become a symbol of all sexy and relaxed women, because notes of milky coconut freshness, voluptuousness of ylang-ylang and rich juiciness of peach are closely intertwined in it, as well as the necessary addition - a stunning long trail of vanilla-nutmeg powdery tones.

But there was a young, creative Canadian designer. List Watier decided to look at powdery perfume from a different angle. The Neiges fragrance she created evokes thoughts of a symphony of snow-white Arctic ice. Here, nutmeg plays a different role - it makes us remember the freshness of a clean frosty morning. A floral note of spring lilies of the valley and hyacinths completes this harmony.
