Inspired by a line in the 1908 novel L'Enfer by Henri Barbusse... “The air in the disordered shuttered room was heavy with a mixture of odours: Soap, face powder, the sharp tang of cologne...”

Poudre de Riz is a soft insinuating blend of rose petals, rice powder, monoi flowers and vanilla. Nostalgic and sensuous it conjures up the langour and luxury of Edwardian afternoons, the scent of beautiful clothes and elegant rooms permeated with rare and exotic flowers. Powdery, creamy and tactile but with an intriguing retro charm.
