Pearl

I ordered a sample of this scent and have been wearing it for a couple of days. It is really quite lovely though I admit I am a sucker for floral, woody, musky scents. This is light and soft, yet sillage is very good. And that's saying something for a small vial. It feels like it is blended perfectly because none of the notes hit you square in the head - like the jasmine. Jasmine and honeysuckle both can be over-powering if not balanced with a good base. I had read an article about Apothica and Ron Robinson so wanted to give this a try. I'm so glad I did. As soon as I can afford it I plan to purchase this. So nice!!

I purchased a sample of this based on the wonderful review by miss nightingale! What can I say, Pearl is a beautiful soft and elegant fragrance, I think it is light but longevity is amazing - I can still smell this at the end of the day. It develops over time into a deep warm musk. I splurged and brought a full size of this and I love it, a definite classic.

While this perfume is nice, it's a bit too much of a sharp floral. It reminds me of laundry detergent with a bit of musk thrown in. I mostly smell peony and honeysuckle, very similar in style to Burberry London Special Edition. But to be completely honest, I think Burberry is better because it's less of an assault on my nose--rounder, softer, sweeter. Pearl seems an odd name for this perfume. I don't see the connection between the scent and the name at all.

In celebration of 30 years of Apothia - an exclusive A-Lister fashionable boutique in Los Angeles - Ron Robinson launches an exquisite gem of a fragrance: Pearl. The top note shimmers with the unusual and strikingly beautiful shiso leaf & plum blosson; the middle notes are a melody of gentle floral muskiness, outstanding white peony & Japanese honeysuckle. The base is deeper, but never dark, with a warmly sensitive golden amber, ivory musk and calming orris. The creators say they wanted to create a fragrance that is "...understated yet powerful; classy, yet trendy and always perfectly polished. [That] works equally well worn with jeans and a tee or that sexy black dress." - I really believe they have been successful in their mission! I can see myself wearing this with a classic pair of jeans & a crisp white shirt, or dancing in the moonlight in an Audrey Hepburn-esque Little Black Dress - vintage of course, daaaaahling - with a glass of champagne in my hand, a long string of pearls twisting as I move. The longevity is very good - this starts quite softly, with a touch of freshness, but seems to bloom with the heat of your skin. A fragrant trail of jasmine musk - hints of Narciso Rodriguez mixed with the lightness of Noa. A definite keeper for any time of year, but especially for those looking for a sexy yet subtle & not overwhelming perfume for the warmer months ahead.

I love your review! I have wanted this scent ever since it came out. No one else seems to have sniffed it... or at least not written a review. Pearl is a new classic and trully timeless.
