Life Threads Platinum La Prairie 2009

The Best of the La Prairie Bunch
I have always harbored a negative prejudice against companies such as La Prairie which tout something as gimmicky as caviar as the basis of their entire skincare line, but I must say that I was delightfully surprised by my first foray into their perfume offerings. Happily, they had the good sense not to extend their caviar obsession to their new fragrance line...
LIFE THREADS PLATINUM is a gorgeous, complex and rich floral chypre perfume, occupying the same general olfactory neighborhood as LA PERLA. PLATINUM offers a touch of leather and a slightly lower dose of patchouli, but the labdanum and floral symphony here is simply exquisite! PLATINUM, like LA PERLA, has more of a modern and comforting feeling than some of the colder, classic, green chypres. This composition offers the snuggliness of a high-quality oriental perfume along with the texture and depth of a chypre. I love it!
In addition to being beautiful, PLATINUM also has fairly big sillage and good longevity. On the basis of my initial testing, I acquired a full bottle, and I am very happy to have this perfume now in my collection. Also based on my initial testing, I requested samples of all of the other members of this series of La Prairie launches. PLATINUM was by far the best of the bunch.
