Grain de Poudre is a fragrance that you wear for yourself. It has quietly snuck into my heart. It is neither loud, nor intrusive, nor eccentric, yet it is unique and very memorable. The blend of green and powdery, without slipping into floral or woody notes, is something I haven't encountered before.
At first, it starts off very herbal and plant-like, and then develops into a more powdery dry scent with a herbal spiciness. I can't actively perceive leather here, but there is certainly a cozy note.
The fragrance reminds me a lot of when you trim the herbs in spring and it is still very cold outside. Your hands smell of freshly cut woody sage stems while you bury your face deep in a wool scarf to keep your nose from freezing.
Yes, it's one in my collection that I wouldn't want to miss anymore, and as you said - it has quietly and unnoticed snuck into my heart, quietly and exquisitely...
I was really skeptical at first about whether this subtle scent was actually worth it. I wear it quite often now, as it suits every occasion without being overpowering.
