The Secret Tree
The sky draped in deep gray
Clouds swirl in the sky
Far away, thunder rumbles
A slightly sweet aquatic scent fills the air
Raindrops moisten the foliage of an old weeping willow
It is probably older than time
It has seen so much over the years
Dozens of such pairs
Secret love
On a knife's edge
The old willow stands there, guarding its secret from the world's gaze
But it passes no judgment
Hot breath on wet skin
Breath clouds quietly embark on their mysterious journey
There the willow will still stand in 100 years
To keep secrets
Soaked foliage
Secret tree
Love dream

Now to the scent:
I must confess that I cannot identify any of the mentioned notes individually. It is more of a pleasant whole.
Rice powder? I don't know. Maybe a little. With a hint of soap. Noble soap. I initially perceive this scent as rather floral-fresh and aquatic. Then, after 3 hours, a little soap and powder quietly creep in.

A nice everyday scent that sparked a little story in my head.
It is something for people who like to smell subtle, clean, and well-groomed.
I can confirm the similarity to Chloe Love mentioned by previous reviewers. However, this scent is fresher and closer to the body. A great comment on sillage or projection is not worthwhile here. There is also not a significant change.
After about four hours, the scent loses its strength. However, I think for an Eau de Toilette and at this price, that is a good performance.

Against the Hectic, the Soft Tones
In wintertime, one can often observe people engaged in busy activities. From Christmas shopping to diligently decorating their homes for the holidays, everything is represented. While since what feels like September the displays are full of gingerbread and marzipan and one Christmas song replaces another loudly, looking into the faces of the people... it’s astonishing. Hardly anyone seems joyful, happy, relaxed, or cheerful. Surely this is due to the weather, the stress, the arguments, the worries... and so on.
However, I like to think that these people also want to be uplifted from their stress and sorrow with a friendly word, a nice smile, or a hummed song.

The Fragrance

Is a hummed song.
It comes softly and lays a powdery touch on the stressed soul. Through a sweet violet, with clean pink rose, it gently caresses the cheek. Rounded off by cedar, the powder does not drift into baby cliché territory.
The scent smells of warmth, powder from a jar, sweetness, closeness, and embrace. A feel-good fragrance that seems well-suited for this hectic time.
But... it is quiet. Only perceivable close to the body, but lasts up to 6 hours. Alternatively, one can also spray a scarf or wool hat, then the scent is significantly more durable, but still too quiet.

Conclusion:
Powder with clean pink lilac glitter flowers. Finely crafted as a barrier against everyday stress. Very quiet but durable.
Not a -must- or -definitely want to have- scent, but as a
-I would like to have- or -I gladly indulge in- it is highly recommended.

Simply Powder!
There are fragrances that are so simple because they contain only one or a few scent notes and therefore come without any fragrance development. Some may find this bothersome, but even such simple scents can smell quite good, like Poudre de Riz, which I could definitely recommend to women.

The scent:
Hm… yes, it’s a bit difficult to describe a fragrance when the, um,… yes, the entire fragrance pyramid is missing! However, I do know that the composition is supposed to consist of powdery rice milk, but whether rice powder smells like that, I cannot say. Anyway, I will still try to describe this scent here.
It is… powdery! Okay, you probably won’t be satisfied with that, will you?
It actually starts off a bit sweet before the scent becomes softer. The powdery note smells for a tiny moment like powdery iris (so not the carroty iris), before it simply begins to smell soft, gentle, and indeed powdery. The scent is very natural; you get the feeling that if you were to blow, you could swirl all the powder into the air.
I can’t write much more, except to mention again that it smells like powder. Somehow very pure and clean. After about three to four hours, it also had a scent like freshly washed laundry or fabric softener, but in a sweeter way.

The longevity and sillage:
With a scent that only smells like powder, one shouldn’t expect too much longevity. And indeed, the scent only lasts a few hours on the skin. The sillage is also quite weak and very close to the body, but that’s probably okay since you would likely wear this scent just for yourself, as I will describe in more detail below.

The bottle:
The bottle looks like a small flask and is filled with a clear perfume liquid. There is a label with a nicely drawn frame on it, displaying the name and brand of the fragrance. The spray head is silver and looks like a thread at the neck of the bottle. There doesn’t seem to be a cap. Overall, it’s quite okay.

For me, this scent is not a perfume that you wear and then leave the house or apartment with. It is simply a clean, comforting scent for oneself when you just want to relax at home.

You can also use it as a goodnight scent when going to sleep, probably optimal in combination with fresh bed linens.
It says here that the scent is unisex, but for me, it clearly leans towards the feminine side, and I think it could appeal to women quite a bit, so I recommend a test if you should happen to see the scent anywhere.

delicate powder
Should I order you? Should I not order you?
Upon the first sniff, immediate enthusiasm set in. However, the fragrance experience was so fleeting in March that my ordering finger clicked on a different scent.
But I have kept this beautiful scent in the back of my mind.
Surely, the now warm season plays a role here, as it is excellently suited for that.

It is a delicate rice powder scent, into which they have surely added something floral that I cannot identify separately. I also suspect musk, and on the homepage of my source, there is mention of rice milk.

A harmonious powder - well-groomed scent for sensitive noses and summer with light to medium longevity.
Additionally, a budget-friendly pleasure at € 19.95 for 100ml.

Sweet violets lie dreaming beside pastel-colored clean rosebuds in the powder box. Delicate light speaks of the coming spring.

Pure powder with a slightly creamy nature. A lightly sweet feel-good scent often adorns my work attire. It sweetens my day, which is why I like it.

The better L'eau en Blanc by Lolita Lempicka. Poudre de Riz is pleasantly powdery and only slightly sweet. I love to bathe in it every day.

Creamy violets with a hint of powder, yet still fresh. Like just applied lotion.

Alcoholic start, fluffy-powdery heart note with dry rice steam and a beautiful creamy base! Must try for powder lovers ;)

to me it smells like a 4711 Cologne dusted with plenty of powder (from a bygone era, the 70s).
