This is the embodiment of the color white - upon first sniff, this feels so cottony and airy, it really does give the impression of dryness. I get a powdery floral at the forefront that settles into an airy musk - the suede bringing in a nice rich softness, and the powdered sugar gives it just a hint of sweetness that keeps the motif of dry ingredients. I'm currently wearing this to bed, but could see myself reaching for it in any situation I need to feel comforted and calmed.
