It's really ...Thank you for your lovely review. It's really quite amazing how it manages to smell both younger and vintage-y [make up] smelling at the same time. I think Poudre lives up to the Chanel 19 name. Just like the marketing materials, the new powdery-musky is like a veil over the bracing, sparkling, dewy, green gem of the original. The result is much warmer, cuddly, sweet, overtly feminine scent compared to the original. <br /><br />A note on the musk. It has at least two, or possibly three. One is a very clean, white cottony musk. The second one reminds me of SJP Lovely. It smells grey with a little more grit but still soft, akin to suede leather. Third, because it's so sweet there is a wide-eyed innocence about it; something reminescent burnt sugar/cotton candy. Thankfully it doesn't smell "pink" but to me even the Jasmine smells candied in a fruity sense... It could just be the aromatic tonka though. But then again the cotton candy/smokey vetiver is a popular combo in perfumes nowadays.Arxsynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705963118520835160noreply@blogger.com
