A new star in the fragrance sky...
...and what do I get out of it now? How long have I been hoping to discover a "real", indeed "proper" new Guerlain fragrance again? I had almost given up hope and heretically assumed that modern Guerlain noses simply couldn't do it. But far from it, they still can - and how. But I will probably never be allowed to do more than test a few droplets, to take a look through the keyhole into higher Guerlain dimensions, so to speak.
With Perle Impériale, Guerlain has once again created a fragrance that I would simply call perfect. Silky, flattering, shimmering like pearls, delicately powdery and yet never sweet or heavy, the fragrance floats over my skin. Experienced noses may be able to recognize the fig, sandalwood or soft leather. The longevity is also astonishing, because despite all its elegance and expression, this is essentially a delicate fragrance. It whispers, but what it whispers is poetry, is harmony, is simply perfect. I can only enjoy the result and have no reason to even try to unravel the formula.
Am I really sad that I will never really be able to call this fragrance my own? That's almost true - but I'd rather be happy to at least be able to enjoy my "eighth laurel leaf" thanks to Parfumo. (So I'll keep quiet and describe my happiness once again as being able to experience a new Guerlain fragrance.
