Powder is a fragrance note appearing in 48 perfumes in this directory.

What it smells like

Powder evokes the clean, airy scent of vintage face powder or freshly laundered linens. Its character is dry yet subtly sweet, with floral‑musky undertones from iris, violet and heliotrope. The effect feels cool and nostalgic, lingering softly on the skin. Perfumers use it as a heart or base accord to add a delicate, skin‑like softness and timeless elegance.

Powder is listed in 48 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the heart, base and top positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with musk, bergamot, vanilla and amber.
