Scent Personality
A Character, Not Just a Scent
Poudre de Soie takes the classic powdery floral and lowers its volume — violet and iris are here, but softened into something closer to bare skin dusted lightly, rather than a made-up face. Old-world in character, understated in delivery.

H. Marchetti
★★★★★Smells like an old jewelry box, in the best possible way. Understated and lovely.
C. Delacroix
★★★★★Beautiful, but stays very close to the skin — reapply if you want it to be noticed.
