La Perla La Perla 1987 Eau de Parfum

A friendly perfumer sold it to me, this beautiful eau de parfum, many thanks to Mujo

A fragrance that I had already received as a bottling, but didn't appreciate at the time. But, as already mentioned, you get older and perhaps also wiser and a little more experienced when it comes to good perfumes.

So now this wonderful floral-spicy-aromatic structure, like a painting by Renoir, that's how I feel about this fragrance. Very impressive, although not from the 19th century, but still, in my opinion, a very impressive structure that is immediately fully developed.

Spicy green and absolutely unsweet right at the start, it totally captures me. It has that coriander note that sometimes bothers me, it's also pronounced here, but mixed with cardamom, rose, coriander, lemon, I don't know what else, it smells simply terrific and incomparably velvety and even more beautiful and deeper than the EdT and that was already great.

For me, the floral splendor is only peripheral, it is neither pompous nor buttery, but light as a feather. A delicately floral garden carnation is delicately and quickly infused here, I love it.
The fragrance lasts a good 10 hours on me, so far the only one of this chypre variety that stays with me for such a pleasantly long time.

And the mossy, woody, warm finish. Velvety sandalwood paired with the ever-ready oakmoss. There is also a little incense, albeit a very mild white smoke with a fine resinous scent. Really wonderful.
I also think the ending is brilliant, a masterpiece (once again) that I was finally able to discover and really appreciate.

This fragrance is definitely one of my favorites.
