Perle de Mousse

Oh my goodness this is lovely!!! But this is a scent you can't judge by the notes. I say that because there are a lot of white florals going on, and some clove and pink pepper, but it doesn't wear that way. This is a gentle, early morning green with dewy wisps of citrus. Doesn't evolve much; it's now going on hour 6 and it smells the same to me. I was reminded of Ormande Jayne's Osmanthus and Heeley's Ophelia. I'm not saying they smell the same, but have a similar effect: very light, fresh, clean, and springy. Added comment: my skin amplifies green notes, and this is the genre I gravitate towards. Users who don't might have an entirely different experience. For now this is going on my 'want to buy' list... Utterly gorgeous!

Me qui voilà....this is a feminist scent ladies, it should be called the rebirth of the dead Escade in advance. Very good perfume, a suit perfume, a perfume for a strong woman.I don't even feel the aldehyde, fortunately because I can't stand them, for me aldehydes = Chanel 5 and I'd rather die than wear Chanel. A fragrance that will stay in my wardrobe. And no, you don't feel the rose, at least on my skin.

This is very nice , clean ,pure scent. Beautifully change notes . At the beginning the scent is gassy. The lily of the valley is soft and warmths. For admirers of light lily of the valley scents .100% wonderful!!! CEREZA said perfectively.

"Perle de Mousse" is a beautiful green chypre. I enjoyed it all the way until dry down about which I am going to tell a bit later. The opening and heart is a fantastic green bulgarian rose with an indolic undertones of very warm and sweet jasmine playing perfectly together. The first hour of this fragrance is simply divine as the rose and jasmine compliments each other, jasmine never allows rose to get too green and rose never allows jasmine to get too sweet, so here we have a little bit about and I must say that it feels simply amazing for me. After the first hour though I am rather dissapointed as I am left with generic green-warmish-ambery drydown with bits of jasmine, rose is gone completely from my skin and even though I did apply generously "Perle de Mousse" has dried down to be a complete skin scent - shy and not at all "chypre".

Evocative of a meadow full of yellow flowers and drying grass. Very light, sheer, and dries down quickly to a musky skin scent. It has the Duchaufour fingerprint of both Penhaligon's Amaranthine and Ostara, so if you like either of those, good chance you'll enjoy this. I liked, but didn't love this one. I also found it very fleeting, like the rest of the Ann Gerard perfumes.

I'm having a similar experience as Cereza. The follow-through doesn't equal the very enjoyable green-floral opening. The beautiful forest is gone, and I'm left standing in a mud puddle.

rose, orange, musk, ivy/green, pink pepper, hawthorn; a very pretty, unique, odd scent that is like a vintage cologne with a twist

This is too much galbanum and ivy to me. For me it smells more like medicine than like a scent.

Tested sprayed. For the first 30 minutes my nose was assaulted by a million pink peppercorns, like so many Lilliputians. Mercifully they retreated, and then I got a nice green, jasmine-y rose, with a pinch of gardenia/musk. Stayed that way for about 2 hours, until it was gone completely. Longevity is completely unacceptable for the price (for me, anyway), so this will not go on my wishlist. Plus, the peppercorn assault. But the middle was really beautiful!

I have had my sample on for a few hours and so far I'm not that impressed. The rose is too heavy in the initial topnotes and the heartnote is definitely rose with a funky type of smell due to the other elements. After a few hours all the notes seems to come together nicely into a soft green musky scent, but this is not a scent that I warmed up to. But then I am not really much of a floral person anyway.

Old lady floral chypre with a dominating (and annoying I have to add) green note playing form top to middle. Too many naturals don't necessarily mean quality, and I'm afraid this is the case for Perle de Mousse. To be honest I had to scrub it off before the base notes.
