I'll make a song of silence
"Before a winter"
I'll make a song of silence
and September light.
The silence of a cricket
goes into my poem.
The lake and the dragonfly.
The rowanberry red.
The work of a source.
The autumn smell of bread.
The trees death and tears.
The black raven's scream.
The organ flight of the swans.
Whatever it is,
That about us the rooms
Tears open and makes huge
And falls into our dreams
on a dark night.
I'll make a song out of silence.
I'll make a song out of light.
That's how I go into winter.
And so I don't miss.
. . .and I'm going to get out of here: Eva Strittmatter: All the poems.

I would like to place Eva Strittmatterter's famous poem before my commentary, because these lines skilfully express all that I perceive olfactorily in La Perla Eau de Toilette.
The fragrance: La Perla Eau de Toilette begins with a soft freshness, a fruity citrus note that reminds me of a juicy mandarin comes from my wrist. Nothing stings or scratches. No riots, no kettledrums, no trumpets. Already here La Perla expresses her calm nature. Soon thereafter, discreet floral chords with a well perceptible freesia join in. The flowers are framed and accompanied by a mild spice, led by carnation and cardamom. In this delicately flowery-spicy stage, the eau de toilette remains on my skin for many hours. Again and again I am embraced by a motherly, benevolent mist of tender warmth. Only after a few hours does La Perla EdT retreat and reveal its warm chypre base.
The fragrance is flowing and harmonious and thus resembles the above poem - a quiet walk through mild autumn light.
The Eau de Toilette is of medium size and therefore a grateful daily companion for office and home. The shelf life survives a working day without any effort. Comparisons to the Coco EdT are quite justified, because both fragrances know how to convince with a flowery spiciness.
The oval bottle of satin glass lies so beautifully in the hand. Only the cheap plastic closure and a small sticker that serves as the perfume's logo do not do justice to this fragrance.
Conclusion: an underestimated autumnal chypre and almost forgotten treasure. He is balanced; radiates peace and contentment full of warmth. High attributes in modern times. And a call to us to take a more relaxed approach to life.
With that in mind, have a nice day.
Namaste,
your little weakling
