POUDRE DE RIZ Eau de Parfum

A room scented with soap, face powder and cologne in Henri Barbusse's novel L’Enfer inspired Poudre de Riz. Pierre Guillaume turns that old-fashioned atmosphere into a warm, intimate fragrance, pairing the softness of rice powder with rose petals and vanilla.

The powder accord retains its familiar cosmetic character, while rose brings a floral nuance. Monoï and vanilla pods add a sweeter, more sensual warmth. Their combination makes the composition feel enveloping rather than dry or austere, with a floral-amber impression around the nostalgic powder.

Poudre de Riz is not simply a clean-powder scent, nor does its vanilla turn it into a dessert. The pleasure lies in the meeting of two kinds of softness: the slightly vintage charm of face powder and the warmer, sunlit character of monoï. It gives a familiar cosmetic memory a more intimate expression, with roses and vanilla deepening rather than disguising its powdery identity.

Fragrance notes: rice-powder accord, rose petals, monoï and vanilla pods.

This fragrance is for you if: you enjoy warm, powdery florals with gentle sweetness and a nostalgic cosmetic-powder character.

This fragrance may not be your best match if: you prefer powder to feel purely dry, cool and austere; monoï and vanilla give this interpretation warmth.

Choose this fragrance if: you like the vintage charm of rice powder and rose, softened by the sensual warmth of vanilla and monoï.
