2020

The smell of a vintage lipstick tube opened for the first time — powder, iris, desire.

The take

What works

  • Violet-iris-rose captures the powdery, waxy quality of lipstick perfectly
  • Orris adds depth and creaminess that elevates the powdery concept
  • Cedar base keeps the vintage powder vibe from tipping into grandma's dresser

Trade-offs

  • Powdery-violet concept is very specific — those who dislike powder will find it relentless
  • Lacks the wit of Not a Perfume or Moscow Mule
