Was gifted the scent experience and tried different ones and Powder Ballad was my favourite so I ordered full size and then was gifted a cheeky travel size one too! Couldn’t ask for anything better.
"Powder Ballad" is a delicate duet of soft powder, violet, and almond, layered with blooming rose and a sensual trace of musk. What begins as a gentle whisper deepens into warm amber and oud, wrapping you in romance and leaving a lasting impression.
We make every bottle of perfume fresh, by hand, one bottle at a time, in our workshop as customers orders it, you should expect delivery no later than 7 days from placing an order.


Why we made the 50ml.
"100ml is a commitment. 10ml is a date. For two years people have asked us for the in-between, the bottle you take with you, the one that fits in a bag, the one you can buy two of without thinking too hard. We made it. Same hand-blending, same British materials, same scent oils we obsess over. Just half the volume. The format that travels."
— Patrick, Founder
POWDERY FLORAL
Powder Ballad is a soft, sensual fragrance with hidden strength. Part white lace, part leather boot. It’s a love song for contradictions: romantic yet grounded, delicate yet bold. Inspired by a first dance under soft lights, it walks the line between dreamy innocence and untamed desire.
💫 Top Note: Head in the Heavens
A luminous veil of soapy powder, almond, and white violet shimmers like sunlight through a wedding veil. Accents of aldehyde, bergamot, and raspberry float above the skin, airy, fresh, and irresistibly soft.
💫 Heart Note: The Chorus
A duet of damask rose and iris sings with creamy musk, creating a powdery warmth that deepens into something more magnetic. This is the soul of the fragrance, harmonious, sensual, and quietly captivating.
💫 Base Note: Anthem
As the melody deepens, oud, amber, and saffron enter like a driving bassline. Notes of incense and vanilla smoulder beneath, turning the scent from a soft whisper into a full-hearted, unforgettable anthem.
💫 For the Romantic but Real
Powder Ballad is for those who wear leather boots with their wedding dress. Soft and textural, yet rich and resonant, it’s a fragrance for those who crave both tenderness and fire.
Top Notes: Powder, Almond, White Violet, Aldehyde, Bergamot, Raspberry
Heart Notes: Damask Rose, Iris, Musk
Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla, Incense, Oud, Saffron

I first found this scent when a lady by the pool On holiday walked past me. It was so nice that I asked her what it was. Had already ordered the travel size and Discovery Set before going home. Since then I’ve ordered the 100ml and got a travel size so I can take it away on my next holiday. Great service

This is my second bottle of powder ballad. The first went into the MIL’s Christmas bag ….but not before I stole a spritz ☺️ So glad I did as I had to order another for myself ! A lovely powdery floral , light and so feminine. Another to add to the growing bundle of favourites.

Love the scent and have had lots of compliments. Great customer service when I had a faulty spray. They sent me a replacement together with an extra travel size bottle straight away. The scent lasts well and I will definitely use this company again.

Power Ballad is the one of the best smells around. The sparkling florals made me think of my friends forthcoming wedding, so I gifted her Power Ballad. A special perfume for a special day. ❤️

I love the top notes of this fragrance but after a while it settles into a scent that doesn't suit me.

Bought this fragrance blind. It’s a lovely fragrance if you like oud so was a little disappointed. Love the initial sweetness tho. Great if you’re a oud lover and get the sweetness too.

This smells divine. I need a bigger bottle.

As it states, this is a fragrance of soft powder, violet & almond, and friends can pick this up, and there is a rose & musk hint to it. But my chemicals don't work with it and to me not a "man's" fragrance. I would say that it does leave a lasting impression. But this isn't for me, but it is good quality and to the standard of Saltworks, and could be the fragrance for the individual, just not for me. The right person would eagerly have this & could be their "must have". I would try a sample & test it, it is Saltworks high standard.

I received this Powder Ballad free to try, and definitely recommend, I just loved the white flower notes, the longevity and the sillag of the scent is also very strong.

LOVE!!! Powder Ballad so much I’ve bought the 100ml. The fragrance is fresh, clean and powdery, with a hint of feminine sweet vanilla, but not too much. Lasts all day.

Nice scent for me. Fells on my skin slightly like sweet vanilla and some woody notes. Quite pleasant.

I think I might have found my new favourite perfume. It’s absolutely gorgeous and great for the summer

I received this free sample which has a pleasant slightly woody smell. I have been wearing it most days but it's not my favourite by a long way. I would have appreciated more information about the sample to understand the layers and how it presents (like the booklet you get with the discovery box).

I've not worn perfume for 12 years since I went vegan. But this year I decided I wanted to try. I found Saltworks and was sent a sample of Powder Ballad, which is absolutely gorgeous and it smells luxurious.
Jennifer B. 5/5 Verified
Lovely perfume, nice for the day, but more of an evening perfume in my opinion as it’s a bit of a heavier scent.

Very mature/sophisticated fragrance. Reminiscent of a vintage classic but I'm not sure which one it is..... I like it's subtle charm, warmth and longevity.
