Powder, violet/rose lipstick notes, and a perfume-y sharp (sandal, I bet) edge that doesn’t detract. A bit more sticky powdery than my beloved Rouge Assassin, though, so I’ll go with the Rouge Assassin.

This is beautiful!
…An incredibly comforting and fluffy scent.
I love when a powder fragrance has that vintage makeup bag vibe to it
without smelling too mature as some powders do,
or too immature (e.g. Johnsons).
The key is the *rice* powder- it is truly something special. It is sweetened by vanilla, caramel, maple sap and coconut milk.
I know there are other notes in this (Tiare, Sandalwood, Tonka, Iris, Benzoin, Balsam, Cedar) but if I DIDN’T know what they were and I sniffed my wrist I would simply say
“Horchata and Rose”.
This is a soft, powdery, floral gourmand masterpiece,
So lovely.
I sniff my wrist all day long.

I’m yet to find a Tiare flower fragrance which would be suitable for a man to wear. There’s something inherently feminine about it in my opinion but that doesn’t detract from this being a nice perfume. Despite the focus on tiare I’d say the main note is a lighthearted rose smell when it’s all settled down and that’s safe and crowd pleasing to most people. The opening is quality, sweet florals with a touch of the tropical about it, putting me in mind of something kinda Hawaiian. I think it might be the vanilla and touch of coconut making Poudre de riz a bit gourmand at times but with a warm ambery base and although I don’t really detect tolu balm or even know what rice smells like I can believe they are in the mix. This is because it smells complex and very much a go to, quality powdered floral for women…basically it’s versatile. The quality of this is undouubted and I don’t know what it costs but I suspect it isn’t cheap. My knowledge of similar perfumes is lacking but I think you might get something similar cheaper. I liked it though but from a practical point of view I could never wear it myself.

Poudre de riz, French for rice powder is a sensual comforting perfume slightly floral but mostly a combination of powdery sweet materials such as vanilla, benzoin, tonka and tolu, which mediates between them and the rose.

Poudre de Riz is a soft, sweet, comforting and powdery perfume that is slightly floral and vintage-like in nature, yet never smells too dated. It is the scent of a beautiful and elegant face cream. I wish I got some toasted rice from this, as that would be incredibly delicious; and the only other time I ever got that note was in Kenzo’s Amour (and unfortunately I couldn’t wear it, because the vanilla smelt like chemicals on me).
It then develops into a creamy, slightly milky or lactonic fragrance, that continues into the dry-down and reminds me vaguely of some sort of dairy free milk, such as almond milk. There is something incredibly sweet in this, that I think is the maple sap, which is sweet in an edible kind of way, or it could be a combination of notes. I find it delicious. This scent really feels like something I’d love to own, and wear often, especially during the cooler months, because I am starting to enjoy it more with each and every wear.
Excellent projection on my skin; moderate to heavy sillage, but never overwhelmingly heavy, as this one meshes well with my skin chemistry (unlike Teint de Neige, which was a beast of powdery proportions on me). I never found this bothersome, but others could very well, so I’d be mindful of your sprays. Very well-blended and really long-lasting, longevity was for about 10 hours on me.
This is not super powdery on me. I will say that I am a powder person, but what happens with some scents is that the powder tends to “sink” into my skin, and I get mostly whatever was “supporting” the powder, with occasionally a little bit of powder that trickles into the dry-down, if that makes any sense at all. This is what seems to be happening here. I’m not getting a huge amount of vanilla either, I don’t think, which is excellent, and this may be due to the blend. Heavy vanilla has a habit of ruining a lot of scents for me, and here, due to the heavy sweetness from the other notes, it might be a rare occasion that it has actually been crowed out, when it is normally the vanilla that crowds out the other notes for me! But I will see what happens with multiple wears, as only time will tell 🙂

I got the tiare flower immediately. Then, a touch of cedar to offset the scent of Mexican horchata – almonds and a touch of spice.
Honestly, it smells like something tantalizing. Soft, melting, delicious, and dries down to the balsam and sandalwood. Sillage is close to the skin, but I wouldn’t want it any other way, since it makes the smeller want to lean in close.
Instant, intense love.

Poudre de Riz: to my nose a fragrance with completely opposite qualities from its name. I was expecting a fluffy, ethereal, soft cloud of a scent, when I encountered a strong, ambery perfume in the style of What we do in Paris is a secret. No individual notes I can recognise, and sadly the composition feels a bit synthetic. Glad I purchased a sample, given I was ready for yet another blind buy after reading the notes and reviews.
Its style also reminds me a bit of Calypso from Piguet; they evoke the same atmosphere in my opinion

The top notes of “Poudre de Riz” is something so especially beautiful that I kept reapplying from my vial until it was all gone!
So I had 1ml of dab sample and I applied a bit at first to be swept away by such a beautifully innocent scent of warmness, sweetness and all things fluffy/pretty that I couldn’t stop sniffing myself.
Within two hours though it almost dissapears so I had the urge to apply again and I did this for all day long until my 1ml was gone.
So “Poudre de Riz” doesn’t last so long and it also doesn’t project heavily, it’s really something one wears just for themselves and maybe those special someones around who get to get especially close.
Given this – if I’d decide to splurge on a bottle (and believe me the scent is so good that I do consider this) I would probably use the bottle up within months due to fact that I’d be feeling the urge to reapply which I actually never do with my other scents, because I do have a rule of min. staying power etc when I buy.
“Poudre de Riz” is…so pretty. It’s not sensual/sexy/elegant and all those other words I could use, it’s just…NICE. Like the nicest thing I’ve tried in a long time. It’s like clean babies. Like almond body oil on a perfectly clean skin. Like ‘almost-there’ hair conditioner. It’s like skin after sunbathing for long time, when you feel that your skin almost smells like summer itself – pretty, nice and sweet.
I would buy the bottle if it lasted longer.

This smells just like it’s name! Rice powder. It is a calm and comforting back-ground-scent. Even though i love it, it doesn’t have the WOW factor. There is a French brand who specialises in house perfumes and candles and such, they also have a Poudre de Riz in their collection. It is the same! If you are looking for a soft scent which cocoons you, but is not in your face then this is the one for you.

Poudre de Riz is strong stuff: it’s a real bomb of very sweet powder. I get mostly just powder and rice, but then I’m susceptible to suggestion and often inclined to smell what a name promises. When I take a look at the other notes, they do make sense, especially the sweet ones like coconut, vanilla and maple syrup; I don’t get much of a floral vibe at all.
Like I said, the main characteristic of this one is how strong it is: I’ve only used one spray this morning, and it’s still radiating its extreme powdery sweetness like it’s on fire. I’m impressed, but I can easily see how others have found it too much, even slightly suffocating, if they’re not powder lovers. I also wouldn’t want to come near this in even slightly warmer weather, but in the middle of winter it seems fitting, sweet and comforting and yes, innocent, without smelling at all edible. Even so, its pure power makes it unfit for daily or even monthly use, I think: it’s going on my want list, but a little decant is probably all I’ll ever need.

Lemony, citrusy vanilla with milk and rose. Not bad but synthetic smelling, could work as an air freshener. I can’t see wearing it but will be sniffing it until my sample runs out. It’s the coconut that gives it the plastic feeling, as it slowly surfaces after the lemon blast opening.
Remi – :
Creamy sweet coconut rice scent with amazing longevity and pretty good projection. It does smell innocent indeed but the opening is a little bit sickly, which is most likely due to combination of coconut (more like condensed coconut milk) with caramel, vanilla and maple syrup. It almost smells like an old fashioned rice pudding made with condensed coconut milk.
I kinda like it but at the same time am not sure about it as I really struggle with milky notes, especially the sweet ones. The drydown is worth the wait though, lovely powdery innocent rice scent.
Definitely worth a try in my opinnion.

Well, it’s better than Vohina. It’s not blaringly obvious that it’s coconut in that it sidesteps the chemical terrors that you might expect from the “coconut™” section of Bath and Body Works. The rice is subtle and delicately floral, with sugary notes that are kept in check throughout. Yet it does open with the kind of shrill, sweet powder that invades a number of scents from this line. This opening settles fast into the understated coconut-floral heart, but just like others from the brand, it smells far too much like hair products to be taken seriously.

I can’t justify how much I love this but, boy, do I love this. It’s a fascinating melange of gray and sweet notes that shouldn’t work together but absolutely do. It really doesn’t smell like much of anything on blotting paper and it takes a moment to open on your skin. It opens with a balsam-cedar mix that seems restrained and tight. A few minutes later several sweet notes (to my nose caramel, coconut, maple syrup) join with a fascinating reinforcing effect between cedar and maple. The overall effect is a sweet wood effect, like very freshly cut cherry or maple wood when it’s still sappy in the spring.
I’m struggling a bit with the name, probably because of my affection for Poopoo Pidoo, which really does smell exactly like old fashioned rice powder. I don’t get that at all from this–it’s probably more like Dumont Bourbon Vanilla than rice powder. In any case I recommend it but it’s hard to categorize. I agree with the woody musk but I’d suggest more gourmand than floral.
