Blanc Poudre is a soft, clean, and intimate fragrance centered around rice and cotton notes, offering a gently powdery, milky sweetness with a subtle vanilla and white musk base. It unfolds with a light, airy contrast — the rice note feels both creamy and chalky, evoking finely milled flour or sun-dried cotton fabric — and develops into a warm, dry vanilla-sandalwood drydown. The scent is notably transparent and cool, with a subtle, slightly synthetic floral presence that accentuates the powderiness without asserting itself aggressively. Despite its modest sillage and moderate longevity, it maintains consistency throughout the day, fading into a soft, personal skin scent. The overall impression is one of quiet comfort — like stepping into a sunlit, freshly washed linen room — ideal for those who appreciate minimalist, cozy scents that feel nostalgic and serene without being overtly sweet or dramatic.
