Definitely a sweet powdery scent, but the sweet is light. It smells almost like a fresh bag of powdered sugar mixed with vanilla. I also get that powdery scent, like baby powder but extremely light. I have the shower gel, body lotion, and body mist. When I use all 3 I get a little more of that woodsy smell, which I don't usually like but it has more of a cozy feeling to it. Although this is a winter fragrance, I think it'd be nice for fall too.
@snoopygrrl I agree that the Snowflakes & Cashmere mist is much lighter this year, not as woodsy/musky as it normally is! Have you tried previous versions of the mist too?
