Loukhoum Eau Poudree Keiko Mecheri for women

It smells like baby powder and vanilla . But dont like it enough to buy

I just tried the sample. This really turns me off. I smell no almonds, no sugar, nothing I would call delicious- just a big whiff of stale mature lady powder puff. This reminds me of Margret Thatcher some how. A Scrubber.

Gorgeos fragrance, I too prefer the poudre version... leave a not as sweet smell, and I have to say for the light fruity semi sweet kind of fragrance it lasts a very long time. So it's more expensive, but i really do feel like it's worht it... actually a decent value. And I love the new keiko mecheri bottles... so quant :)

I really hate this at the beginning. It's like I've poufed myself in the face with baby powder, ugh!

After a few minutes, it tones down to vanilla'd baby powder.

After about 30 minutes, it starts to remind me of Conaffetto. The almond, vanilla, and sugar start to dominate instead of the baby powder (though it never quite loses the baby powder completely), and rather than Conaffetto's orange blossom, you have the rose.

You could probably use this as an affordable alternative to Conaffetto. It lacks Conaffetto's delicate heavenliness, but the main notes on the dry-down are very similar -- if you can get past the baby powder.

When I first tried this I was disappointed that there was a lot of Poudree and not much Loukhoum, but on trying straight Loukhoum, I now prefer this version. The powderiness takes some of the sweetness away that is so nearly too much in Loukhoum. The almond makes this into a gourmand - you can almost smell the tooth decay!

I am so glad I waited to try Loukhoum Eau Poudree before purchasing Loukhoum. Eau Poudree is so much more interesting and feminine. Equally as addictive and more forgiving to being over sprayed.

Great longevity, too.

Per Floof: "I love the powdered violet and the rose jammy scent with sugared almonds.... But it still has an almost green quality." omg stop!!!! sold, sold, SOLD!

The white powders continue to proliferate with Keiko Mecheri LOUKHOUM EAU POUDREE, which adds a baby powder note plus more flour into the already sugary-alkaloid mix of LOUKHOUM. Initially, I thought that the baby powder note was not a good idea, but then it simply disappeared, ceding to a slightly less sugary but just as alkaloid composition which I find somehow irresistibly appealing, strangely enough. Or perhaps not, given my belief that these compositions do indeed contain a mystery alkaloid compound which may explain how I managed to use my entire 2.5ml sample of LOUKHOUM last night and my entire 2.5ml sample of LOUKHOUM EAU POUDREE today. Looks like a serious addiction is taking shape...

I actually think that these compositions are great, and I am surprised at the naysayers. Perhaps they were laboring under the false assumption that loukhoum was oud? Far from it, in fact, loukhoum could only form the basis of a gourmand composition, the only questions being: "Are the notes of high quality and blended together pleasingly?" and "Do these creations offer something not already available?" "Yes" and "Yes" are the answers selon moi. My journey through the land of loukhoum therefore continues...

This was my favorite of the loukhoums, my second favorite being Parfum du Soir. Theres something about this that is much more wearable than the others, it is extremely potent and long lasting. This is the only sweet fragrance i have that i would say has excellent lasting power, most fade very quickly on me. I love the powdered violet and the rose jammy scent with sugared almonds.... But it still has an almost green quality. It seems like the ideal fragrance for a pin up girl, flirtatious but innocent, powdery and very sweet. Also the bottle is iridescent green/pink/peach and it is so pretty, one of my favorite bottles ive ever had, the picture does it no justice at all. Price is reasonable at $80 for 50 ml- you really only need one spray and you are set for the whole day+ as this lasts for at least 15 hours on my skin and weeks on cloth (if you spray a few sprays). This is the only perfume I only use one spray of, despite me liking very potent perfumes, this is EXTREMELY strong if used liberally. The most fragrant and long lasting of the loukhoums, with the addition of violet, which I love.
this is one to try before you buy.
The strength of it is a little intimidating, or lovely to people like me who love STRONG fragrances. This is honestly the longest lasting sweet fragrance I have ever tried (thousands).

There is very romantic, rosy, feminine, powdery feel in this lovely sweet fragrance. Quite addictive, easy little luxury. The combination of almonds, vanilla and sugar (and cherries or something that creates "cherry-like" impression), makes it very gourmand indeed. It is kind of innocently gourmand though and lightly flowery, all in all very appealing. I would wear it if I wanted to feel really girly. Floaty summer skirts and wavy hair. :-)

Starts out strongly like baby powder and almonds (a sweet cherried almond, like in the original Jergens Lotion). As it evolves, I pick up a sweet vanilla creaminess that seems to me sort of tropical (pineapple or coconut maybe?). Dust this confection with lightly sugared violet and rose petals, and you get Loukhoum Eau Poudre.

As I have a hard time with the combination of powder and almond, I don't think this scent is for me. If these notes appeal to you, though, this is a very well done soft, powdery, not too sweet gourmand that you would probably love. Sillage and longevity are very good.

Now I have tried both 'Loukhoum' and 'Loukhoum Eau Poudree' ... and I prefer this Poudree. It is not as disruptive powdery sweet, a little lighter, more floral than the original Loukhoum.
Very feminine, innocently seductive.

Insanely enough for a fragrance named "Eau Poudree", Loukhoum Eau Poudree("powdery water" in English) is much less heavy on the powder and much, much prettier than either the original Loukhoum or the Parfum du Soir version.
Loukhoum Eau Poudree is still undoubtedly a sister of the other two Keiko Mecheri Loukhoums, but the rose, narcissus and maybe even the violet leaf add a little acid note to the sweetness that is perfection itself. This Loukhoum is incredibly pretty and feminine, as well as totally unique. In its own subset of gourmand fragrances, I would consider Loukhoum Eau Poudree well nigh peerless.
The first half hour or so after application is similar to the other Loukhoums, but when the magic develops, the gourmand, "Oh my goodness...Delicious!" aspect of this scent takes over and makes you feel ultra feminine, ultra pretty and more than a little edible.
Its truly wonderful, really magical and ever so full bottle worthy as a secret indulgence and an evening perfume.

Note that of all three Loukhoums, Eau Poudree is the only eau de toilette, yet its lasting power earns it a 9/10 (10 hours and then some!), its sillage is a lovely 8/10 and all around, its unique and delicious prettiness earns it a 9/10 in my little book of scents.

Fabulous and very highly recommended to grown up gourmand lovers!

PS: Because the powdery Orris root note does take a little getting used to, I also recommend testing Loukhoum Eau Poudree from a spray. The Posh Peasant (not affiliated, bought my Eau Poudree there, though) has them.

Very delicious, lighter "luokhoum", appropriate for summertime.
It is more powdery and less sweet, very very tender and feminine.
The staying power and sillage are pretty good.
