    Dusting powder seems like a good summertime indulgence, but cannot bear Youth Dew…apologies to its many fans!
    Just checked Guerlain’s site to see if they make a Shalimar powder.
    Didn’t see that, but came away with another lemming~

      They have definitely made Shalimar dusting powder in the past, but they aren’t making it right now.

    Very pretty package. Shalimar and Youth Dew are both scents I’d enjoy in dusting powder, though I have not used scented powder in many years.

      The only scented powder I ever used regularly since becoming interested in perfume was Lush Silky Underwear, and I’ve been out of that for years.

    I used Aliage dusting powder, lotion and scent when I was in my 20s. I still have some Avon Somewhere dusting powder.

    I do use powder sometimes in summer. Buy it from someone on Etsy who also makes really nice puffs.

        Isn’t it pretty? Not really very Youth-Dew-ish, but that’s ok.
