Poudre D'Orient unisex

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, sweet powdery flower with a green edge, like violet sweets.

It opens on cedar leaves, cumin and iris, moves through amber, cedar and olibanum, and settles on madagascar vanilla, musk and patchouli.

• cumin: warm, dusty, unmistakably sweaty at any real dose. The note people either forgive or refuse
• iris: cool and powdery with a rooty edge. Closer to makeup or clean laundry than to a flower

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
