TalcoPowdery Floral Extrait de Parfum

Talco by New Notes is a powdery floral vanilla unisex extrait de parfum. Its composition is based on a precise choice: the same rose used twice, from two different terroirs.

Genderless perfumery, exclusively in extract

New Notes is an Italian house published by HIC BEAUTY, in San Giuliano Milanese, on the outskirts of Milan. It describes itself as “a new generation of extraits de parfum that transcends the codes of perfumery and breaks down role and gender boundaries,” and it lives up to the formula: its entire catalog consists of extraits de parfum, without a single eau de parfum. The house does not credit any perfumer on its bottles.

An opening of talc accord, Damask rose, and jasmine absolute

The talc accord opens the fragrance and gives it its name: it is the scent of clean laundry and skin after a bath, soft and slightly oily. Damask rose arrives with it, fresh and spicy, accompanied by jasmine absolute and a touch of bergamot.

A heart of Moroccan rose absolute, iris, and ylang-ylang

The rose returns, but differently: absolute this time, and from Morocco. Where the Damask rose in the opening is lively, this one is honeyed and jammy—two terroirs, two faces of the same flower. Iris adds its cool powder, while ylang-ylang and rosewood add their creaminess.

A base of vanilla, tonka bean, and musk

The drydown extends the talc into something warmer. Vanilla and tonka bean bring almond sweetness, amber warmth, precious woods structure, and musk a skin-like effect. As an extract, this base lasts a long time without ever becoming overpowering.

The house's signature

Talco uses the same rose twice, from two different terroirs: Damask rose in the opening, lively and spicy, and Moroccan rose absolute in the heart, honeyed and dense. It is not a repetition but a contrast—the same flower reveals two faces depending on where it grows and how it is extracted. This is what gives this powdery fragrance its depth. It belongs to the Contemporary Blend, the house's main collection.

For whom, and for what occasions?

For anyone seeking a soft, enveloping powdery fragrance that evokes clean skin rather than makeup. It is a fragrance that can be worn all year round, day or night, discreet and very long-lasting. Talco New Notes is for those who want a comforting fragrance without it being sweet.
