Reviews →

Poudre de Reve by NANA.M opens with a sharp, unexpected pop of ginger and atlas cedar. It quickly softens on skin, settling into a dense, cosmetic veil of iris and heliotrope. The scent is dry and powdery, wearing like a warm, tactile cashmere wrap. It is designed for cold weather and formal evening wear.
