Madrepérola

I tried it as it just came out in the Granado stores today. I like it. Got my wife and mother a bottle. Notes seem pretty accurate. The top notes are not very prominent, opens up with frankincense and lemon, with a hint of black pepper. Typical Granado top notes. The heart notes are 50% Ylang ylang, 30% tuberose, and 20% orange blossom The base notes are soft musk, and tonka with a slight sandalwood. Pretty good release. As always ignore the 'reminds me of' Granado products on fragnatica have the most inaccurate comparisons. For the price I think the value is great (buying in brazil with $) I got 2 bottles, and 10 soaps for $140. I know in the US a bottle is like $160.

clean, creamy, soothing & perfect for everything. i love this!!!!!

My favourite! I found the fragrance of my life.

I’ve just gave it as a gift to my mom on Mother s Day. Not before trying it twice at Granado’s stores. First time it reminded me of coconut and vanilla, the second time I could smell a sweet fig. It turns out that Madrepérola has something lactonic in it, and the sweetness is not from vanilla, but tonka. Maybe the chamaleonic element that changea my perception everytime is the tuberose - kinda sweet. a bit artificial fruit flavor. Notes aside, it is a solar, golden, sweet and a bit airy fragrance. It reminds me of summer but I’d rather wear it on springs (or autumns in Brazil). Not my kinda of perfume bur my mom loved it, and that was what made me happy :)

MADREPÉROLA - GRANADO 🐚✨ Follow me on Brazilian Fragrantica: https://www.fragrantica.com.br/membros/159033 Under the golden Brazilian sun, I rest my tanned body on the sands of Rio, accompanied by the constant presence of the sea and the gentle morning breeze. That is exactly the image Madrepérola brought to my mind. It was a wonderful surprise within Brazilian perfumery. I won't say it's revolutionary or unlike anything I've ever smelled before, because it isn't. But it executes its concept beautifully. The opening has a spicy touch that feels slightly woody, dry, and almost powdery. The lemon is quite prominent, but without the sharp, piercing acidity found in fragrances like Light Blue. The pepper helps create that drier, more sophisticated character. Shortly afterward, an intense white floral accord emerges, led by plenty of ylang-ylang and accompanied by a creamy tonka bean note that, on my skin, creates a coconut-like impression. Everything becomes incredibly enveloping, sunny, and elegant. The base is creamy, comfortable, and cozy. It has that naturally pleasant skin scent quality, as if the fragrance were simply a part of you. Wonderful! So far, it's my favorite fragrance from Granado. Even though it is clearly more feminine-leaning, I enjoyed it immensely.
