Powdery Rose Bliss in a Bottle!
This is how I hoped Jean Brosseau's Ombre Rose would smell. But Ombre Rose smelled dated to me, as if it was a throwback to the 19th century. Rose Poudre has an elegant vintage appeal yet still feels very modern at the same time. What distinguishes this for me the most from Ombre Rose is that there is actual rose used here. In Ombre Rose I wasn't sure about that. I just sensed the rose, or rather, envisioned the rose, but I never really got the scent of rose outright. Here I get a bouquet of mixed, sweet, spicy roses wrapped up in a musky powder on an amber base. The combination of notes diffuse beautifully around me in an elegant, soft, powdery cloud. While the silage is low, it is always present, and something that I was not only aware of but could smell the whole time I wore it. This is not an intrusive scent either, as it will not impose itself upon others around you or scream PERFUME. People will just think you smell good.
Overall, this is only slightly stronger than a fragrance mist, but unlike something like that, has great longevity where a few sprays lasted and could be smelled throughout the day. It really is very pretty and I'm finding somewhat addictive, as I've been craving it more and more lately. And while I've sworn off backups because of the already ridiculous size of my perfume wardrobe, I just might make an exception for this.
