Immortal Maiden Elven-Fair
This is a beautiful scent and unusual experience. I wear this for the first time in nearly a year of owning this fragrance. I tested and admired it, but couldn’t imagine it on myself until these warm days of late spring.

This if something very ethereal. My first association as I sprayed it on a test paper was Galadriel. If Tolkien’s elves were real this is how they would smell. At first, it’s piercingly fresh, bright, and clear, like a ray of sunlight on a sparkling snow patch in a spring forest. Then, slowly, the snow thaws and you can feel clear water drops on a green lush moss between the tree roots. After a while, it warms up even more and a delicate white flowers emerge from the mossy roots with a clean, sweet smell. The scent makes me think of snowdrops and lilys-of-the-valley, but this is some exquisite strar-shaped fantasy flower.

The most prominent notes here are citruses, moss, and lily, creating a beautiful contrast of warm, cool, bright and shadowy. This scent shimmers and rings in the air like elven laughter. This picture of enchanted forest stays with me the whole day: sunlight peering among the branches, melting snow, clear spring water bubbling along the mossy bank, tiny white flowers reaching up towards the sunlight.

The name doesn’t do it justice. There is nothing opulent, spicy, or woody here to justify “Sultane” or powdery to justify “pearl”. Despite the ginger and cardamom in the pyramid, I wouldn’t call it spicy. This scent is light like air and transparent like the clearest gem. The only thing that fits well in the title is “white”. White snow, white magic, white flowers.

Elegant, magical, out of this world. This is ethereal femininity. I can imagine young brides and ballet dancers wearing this. Not my style, but so beautiful.

The allure of the pearl
Contrary to the impression by the notes and the visual message, this is not a 'summer scent'. The citrus here is neither cologne-like zesty nor refreshing, but rather subdued and warmed up in an 'autumnal' way, a little reminiscent of 4711's "Mandarine & Kardamom". The floral aspects are not really strong to me, and if anything, it's the clean, white smell of bar soap. An earthy herbal note adds a somewhat medicinal, almost antiseptic quality. I would put this fragrance in the category of unaggressively clean unisex fragrances, and the reviews by both men and women seem to confirm my sentiment.

White Pearl is indeed a soft fragrance that would not bother anyone and would be well suited for daily use indoors. While it stays close to the skin, it quietly reminds the wearer of its presence from time to time for half a day. The lack of freshness or airiness required in hot weather makes this fragrance more suitable for cooler seasons, especially as the heat would flatten the delicate facets and emphasise the laundry musk.
The perfume's overall 'matte' feeling is aptly presented by the frosted bottle and the matching name, which both recall the gentle glow from within that is so specific to the pearls.

To most people, White Pearl must have seemed too modest, too reserved; to my great regret, this flanker was discontinued while the less unique original is still being produced. A pity for this down-to-earth, neat composition, which, unlike many higher-pirced designer offerings, still managed to be distinguishable from detergents - a rare, small pearl in the vast ocean of ostentatious fragrances.

Lovely clean laundry scent, but not too synthetic. Light tang of ginger adds some interest. Good for cozy sleeping. Great price on US eBay.
