Mizensir
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Tiar and paradisone emerge with an immediate creamy sweetness, almost honeyed, whilst the composition already begins powdering itself with the orris concrete—there's an iris-skin quality here, faintly narcotic. Within minutes, you're enveloped rather than announced.
The exaltone blooms into something almost creamy-waxy, amplifying that powdery iris while adding a subtle floral richness that suggests orris root masking and tuberose whispers. The sweetness deepens without becoming gourmand, settling into a silken, almost skin-like presence that feels intimately close.
Australian sandalwood emerges with a pale, creamy tone, whilst bourbon vanilla absolute adds warmth without sweetness. What remains is a soft, powdery embrace—more skin than scent, lingering as a faint, creamy woodiness with traces of honeyed iris, becoming increasingly intimate as the hours pass.
Poudre d'Or announces itself as a contradiction resolved—a fragrance that marries the architectural clarity of Alberto Morillas' hand with something genuinely sensual and enveloping. The paradisone in the opening creates an almost creamy sweetness before the orris concrete arrives to powder everything with an iris-tinged softness, and here lies the fragrance's true character: it's not trying to be delicate, but rather to be tactile, as if you've dusted your skin with expensive face powder infused with honeyed florals and sandalwood. The exaltone—that waxy, slightly animalic synthetic—deepens the creamy sweetness, preventing the composition from becoming saccharine or one-dimensional.
This is a scent for those who appreciate intimacy over projection. It settles close to the skin, demanding proximity to be fully appreciated, which makes it ideal for those moments when fragrance becomes something between yourself and one other person—or simply between yourself and the world you're moving through slowly. The Australian sandalwood and bourbon vanilla in the base refuse to grandstand; instead, they create a gauzy, almost skin-like warmth that transforms the powdery florals into something dessert-adjacent without ever tipping into gourmand territory.
