Fleur Poudrée de Musc
by Les Néréides

I have been hunting musk scents lately...it got me by the name!Yes,i bought blindly a 15 ml splash bottle and never regret it!Soft,powedery musk that it is not overpowered ...velvet and tender touch of musky accords melt with floral notes!It's definitely one good musky-poudree perfume , feminine and delicate!
I like it very much!

Innocent like an angel, light as a feather. Beautiful name for a scent that unfortunately failed to impress me. Quite soapy and more polite than it should seems to faint so rapidly on my skin. Misleading opening with a general and indistinct floral accord that eventually leads to a dull animalic musk. Perhaps a more concentrated version could let me appreciate it in full depth. More on the feminine side and with an upper age limit of 20 years.

A trully unique concept. A floral but sour openning, a combination that never fails to captivate me, delicate but with a strong presence. Then what you least expect kicks in. A good strong oldfashioned musk. The real thing. Starts on the femine side of unisex, jumps into the masculine to waltz back to the middle of the range. Scentemental says it brings to mind Arome 3 and that just adds another one in my to-sample list. The only thing that drustrates me is that longevity is way below average but I think that this is due to me being anosmic to some types of musc. The way my clothes smell the day after the application is beyond description though....

I bought this unsniffed and the perfume god's punished me for it! Smells similar to Woman(Women?) by Jovan but more harsh.I held on to it for months trying to make peace with it but couldn't. We just hard to part ways.

An exceedingly soft but assured natural musk, very refined with no sharpness or acridity despite its slight, tantalizing animalic edge. Musky and soft, full-bodied without being cloying or brazenly powdery, the drydown just gets better and better as ethereal floral elements blend with the musk and completely temper its animalic edge without turning it into a pure powder drydown. The final, lingering basenote accord reminds me very much of the musk component of the drydown of D’Orsay’s *Arome 3* and is, in some ways, also reminiscent of some of the best musk drydowns of classic women’s perfumes of the past that used animal-derived musk. This is a beautifully constructed scent and is very, very elegant with excellent longevity.
