Description
Matiere Premiere's Vanilla Powder Hair offers a sophisticated take on vanilla, designed to delicately scent your tresses. It opens with a distinctive blend of creamy coconut powder and the woody, slightly smoky nuances of palo santo, creating an intriguing initial impression. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich, authentic Madagascar vanilla absolute, which feels both dark and luminous. The fragrance then gracefully dries down to a clean, enveloping white musk, providing a modern powdery finish that lingers beautifully without being overtly sweet or gourmand. This hair mist is crafted to be light and kind to hair, offering a subtle yet long-lasting aroma. Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard
