My Day

I received a sample with a decant order of something else and I was not expecting to love this, but I do. My favorite powder note ever - not suffocating, but uplifting & transporting. Heavenly! And the violet is 1~ day old petals, not fully dry and lifeless, but not sharp and too green either. This and the subtle earthiness (could be sandy, but not marine in any way) keeps it not dated and flexible to me. On me it is an arm length scent for at least 6 hours and then a skin scent, but this is with a vial sample. I found a good price on a travel bottle with some hunting (and decided to pick up some other La Perla scents as well) and hoping it will be the same or better. I think this would be the best as a spring or early fall day scent, but I could see it in the summer or winter and night time depending on the climate and occasion. Iris Poudre is very close by, but it's not an exact dupe. I like My Day better, there is something more than the powder cloud, like a highlight on top of the powder that makes it shine more for me. The similarity is closest in the first hour or two, but after the dry-down they are a bit more distinct and My Day smells slightly sweeter somehow.

Absolutely love this scent. Feminine, soft, powdery, clean. Reminds me of fancy decorative soaps but in a good way. I love to wear this when I’ve just showered and I’m about to go to bed. It’s very comforting and clean smelling. It’s the perfect scent for when you want to feel beautiful in bed but but you’re not trying to put out a “vampy” or “sex kitten” kind of vibe. This is more elegant. It’s a sensual, bedtime perfume and that’s how I most often wear it. Can easily be worn during the day as well. Probably not a date night scent but it’s very inoffensive and technically you could probably wear this anywhere anytime.

La Perla's My Day is a soft, powdery, ethereal aldehydic BEAUTY!! She is divine. I adore perfumes with that classy, vintage vibe that make me feel like I could be living in the 30's or 40's and this gives that. That said, this smells perfectly timeless to me, and could be worn anytime, anyplace: it's very clean and pure. I love the earthiness the carrot seeds lend to the gorgeous iris note, wrapped in a layer of soft, comforting cashmere woods. Absolutely enchanting!! Update: the La Perla fragrances are being discontinued so if you love this, STOCK UP!!!

Oh This one i nice! It is warm, floral, sweet, but not heavy. To me, it has a nice balance between the notes. A lot of the notes are not my favourite when they are dominant, epsecially for the middle notes (tuberose, ylang-ylang, lilies, jasmin) but this is well balanced. I lasts for 6-8 hours on me, at settles beautifully. On my skin, it comes out with some vanilla as well efter 1-2 hours. I bought at trial set of all the La Perla scents, and this one I'm considering buying a bottle of.

I blindly bought it just after reading the notes and reviews. Very soft, slightly sweet smell, very elegant. Just like I imagined.
