Perfumes with powdery notes
Powdery notes describe a soft, dry, slightly sweet impression reminiscent of face powder, lipstick and clean skin; it is an effect created from several materials, not a single raw material.
The effect usually comes from a combination of orris, violet and ionones, heliotropin, coumarin, vanillin and musks. It feels velvety, nostalgic and calm, and smooths out sharper parts of a composition. Powdery notes sit mostly in the heart of a fragrance and often extend into the base. They pair naturally with rose, mimosa, iris, vanilla, tonka, heliotrope and white musks.
powdery notes appears in 1,488 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
