POUDRE D'OR

"The idea of this perfume was to create an olfactory fairy tale. I have always been fascinated by the calm and precious moments of the evening when everyone is getting ready. There is something quite fairy-like about these moments that remind me of a children's fairytale when the enchanter blows magic powder from his hands. I chose a narrow palette to get straight to the essentials and to transcribe the lightness of three elements: gold, powder, and the light," Alberto Morillas, Perfumer.
