Essence & Concept
Vanilla Powder by Matière Première is a modern, elegant interpretation of vanilla that transcends the typical gourmand fragrance. While vanilla is often associated with sweetness and indulgence, this composition brings a more nuanced, refined touch to the ingredient, combining it with powdery, floral, and musky notes to create a sophisticated scent profile. Matière Première, known for its focus on high-quality raw materials, crafts this fragrance with the idea of capturing the essence of vanilla in a subtle, elegant, and elevated way. It’s a vanilla scent for those who enjoy the warmth and comfort of vanilla but prefer a more understated, airy, and luxurious expression of it.
Note Structure
Top Notes: Vanilla, Almond — The fragrance opens with a smooth, rich vanilla note that is immediately comforting and warm. Almond adds a soft, slightly nutty sweetness that enhances the vanilla, making it feel creamy and enveloping. Together, these notes create a soft, inviting opening that is both soothing and delicious.
Middle Notes: Iris, Jasmine — As the fragrance develops, the heart introduces the floral notes of iris and jasmine. Iris contributes a powdery, soft, and slightly woody touch, which gives the fragrance an airiness and sophistication. Jasmine adds a delicate, slightly fruity floral note, enhancing the overall lightness of the composition.
Base Notes: Musk, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood — The base is warm and smooth, with musk adding a soft, creamy finish and tonka bean providing a sweet, slightly almond-like depth. Sandalwood adds a touch of woodiness, grounding the fragrance and making it feel both smooth and comforting.
Evolution & Experience
Vanilla Powder opens with a rich but subtle vanilla note that is complemented by a soft almond sweetness. It immediately feels smooth and comforting, but not overly heavy. As the fragrance develops, the floral notes of iris and jasmine emerge, giving the fragrance an airy, almost powdery texture that keeps it light and elegant. The dry-down reveals a creamy base of musk and tonka bean, which adds warmth and softness without making the scent too heavy. Sandalwood provides a subtle woody undertone, rounding out the fragrance and adding a hint of depth. The result is a fragrance that feels gentle, sophisticated, and refined, with a clean, luxurious finish.
Longevity & Projection
Longevity: Moderate — Vanilla Powder has a moderate to good longevity. While it’s not an overpowering fragrance, it lasts well on the skin throughout the day, with the powdery and floral notes gently fading into a soft, musky base.
Projection: Soft to Moderate — This fragrance has a soft, intimate projection, creating a delicate scent bubble around you. It’s a fragrance that’s close to the skin but still noticeable to those around you, making it ideal for those who prefer subtle, refined scents that don’t overpower a room.
