New Notes Talco is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Talco opens with Powdery, Bergamot, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. New Notes's Talco carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Talco opens with a surprisingly fresh burst of bergamot, quickly softening into a potent powdery heart where rose and iris dominate, evoking that unmistakable baby powder scent. The dry-down settles into a musky, woody warmth, sweetened by vanilla and tonka bean, maintaining that clean, comforting aura throughout.
