Divina La Perla 2011 Eau de Toilette

Divina, the Divine, starts off fruity and strawberry-like, and indeed, a champagne note is present in the top notes. I hardly perceive the mandarin, at least not as a citrus note. Quickly, the fragrance is complemented by a certain floral quality reminiscent of care products; orange blossom is recognizable, as is jasmine. The rose remains in the background but may contribute to my creamy impression.
Divina is fruity and sweet, but well-balanced, neither sticky nor cloying, cheerful and carefree, yet not childish, sunny but not without a certain depth. In the heart, this special combination of fine fruits and noble champagne transforms with elegant flowers, complemented by supportive yet soft, bright, warm notes, delicately woody, distinctly but not overwhelmingly vanillic, and yes, a warm, adult hint of amber, into a very beautiful, rounded, softly floral, unobtrusively present fragrance that would be suitable for almost any occasion.
Only the grand, dramatic entrance is not mastered by the Divine; however, it would not counteract it either, as this fragrance is indeed elegant and mature. It cannot be loud, perhaps even vulgar. By the way, it doesn’t lend itself to sweaty sports either. For me, this is by no means a disadvantage.
Strawberries with cream and champagne are indeed the epitome of Wimbledon, but not on the Centre Court, rather in the spectator's box, and that fits.
Divina is one of my go-to fragrances, a reliable choice, simply beautiful but not generic.
The longevity is decent at 4-5 hours, after which Divina is only still perceptible directly on the skin, but of course, not record-breaking. Fortunately, the Divine is not particularly fleeting for me.
The rounded bottle is without any frills, simple and elegant, yet functional.
