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.

Given its moderate longevity and sillage, Poudre de Riz is versatile but leans away from sports. Its sophisticated, comforting nature makes it suitable for casual wear, dates, and even formal events, while being generally acceptable for the office due to its gentle projection.

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.

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

This scent opens with a powdery flourish, a blend of iris and a soft rose, immediately hinting at vintage glamour. Soon, a creamy sweetness emerges, with subtle rice, coconut, and a touch of maple and caramel weaving through. As it settles, warm sandalwood and cedar provide a gentle, almost meditative base, while tiare flower adds an exotic, milky facet that keeps it from being purely old-school. It's a complex, evolving scent that balances floral, gourmand, and woody elements.
