I fell in love with powdery scents with Andy Warhols Marilyn – Blue… they no longer make this so i researched and found Flower by Kenzo, and Love Her Madly by Revlon (I think), I have heard of Demeter – Baby Powder – which one assumes is a powder scent =-) also the Sarah Jessica Parker perfumes have a touch of powder scents, but I cant choose between the Lovely or Covet which smells most powder like.

[...] Voilette de Madame is a blend of iris, ylang-ylang, narcissus, violet, and sandalwood. It’s quite powdery in top notes, along the lines of Orchidee Blanche, with a softer iris note and just a hint of violet. The drydown has a prominent Guerlinade accord – a compound of balsams, iris, and vanilla, used in such Guerlain creations as Mitsouko or L’Heure Bleu. The most appealing thing about it is its animalic base against which the flowers are resting languidly. Voilette de Madame means “A Lady’s Veil”, and, while I can’t assert specifically what type of veil is implied, in my imagination I see a tulle face veil. What’s behind this veil is a slightly powdered face, gorgeous, daring eyes, and lips slightly open, gently breathing upon it. Whether it’s bad breath or not, depends on your skin chemistry. [...]

Ava Luxe perfumery makes a nice powdery perfume named “Angel Face”. Their “Doll Face” perfume is also said to be powdery…. but I haven’t sampled it yet. Powdery florals make me happy.

Hello!
I loved this post. I would like to add Chanel No. 22. Of your choices, L’Ame Soeur and Iris Poudre are my favorites. Powdery aldehydes really float my boat.
