Lipstick
The note presents a complex, multi-faceted aroma, instantly recognizable and deeply evocative. It is predominantly a powdery floral accord, often characterized by a rich, waxy, and somewhat creamy texture that translates into a smooth, almost velvety sensation on the olfactory palate. At its heart lies a sophisticated blend of iris and violet, lending a distinctive rooty, slightly earthy yet ethereal powderiness, often with a hint of demure sweetness. This is frequently intertwined with a soft, romantic rose, which can range from a delicate dewy petal to a more jammy, full-bodied bloom. Aldehydes are crucial, providing a subtle, shimmering lift and an unmistakable "cosmetic" sheen, sometimes even a slight metallic tang that perfectly captures the scent of actual product. Its intensity is generally moderate to strong, projecting elegantly within an arm's length without being overwhelming. As it evolves, it often softens, settling into a comforting, sophisticated powdery skin scent with excellent longevity, typically performing as a captivating heart note that lingers well into the dry down.
