Perle Précieuse

I bought this as a blind buy purely because I was reading the reviews here on Fragrantica and because it was on special offer, which was a happy coincidence. I have to say that I enjoy everything about this perfume, including its tasteful understated box and pretty square bottle and cap design. I also love the elegant way it sits on my dressing table revealing its pretty champagne-pink perfume and looking at least three times the price I paid. I love the sparkly floral fruitiness of this scent, which really does smell very pretty, fresh and quite elegant. I wore it this morning to a meeting and felt really put together. There’s enough softness in the scent coming from the base notes of vanilla and musk to give the fragrance depth and class. Honestly, Perle Precieuse smells like an expensive secret! I like it enough to want to see what all the other perfumes Pascal Morabito perfumes smell like. The perfume lasted about 4 hours on me and I can still smell it now, although it's become over time a very close skin smell and has settled into a deep warm rhubarbby soft vanilla. I like this. I like it a lot! It’s very French, very classy, very chic - I’m sure they got the price wrong!

I bought this as a blind buy from a discount store, never having heard of the perfume or the namesake before. I looked on Fragrantica for the notes, and I liked them on paper, especially the rhubarb and rose notes. At first try, I was disappointed, because the fragrance was too light and didn't have the heft I need to get more than a couple hours on my skin. Upon subsequent tries, I caught a whiff of vanilla hours later, and paid more attention to the fragrance layers. Initial spray is pretty strong and predominantly rhubarb to me, which is great. Slightly sharp, with a tiny bit of spice. I smell no pear or orange although the pear might be softening the rhubarb. The Rose starts to peek out about 10 minutes later and the strength softens considerably. I can't find the tuberose here, although I wish I did. The base vanilla lingers as a whisper. Although it doesn't seem like it, I really like this scent. The rhubarb and vanilla mingle together nicely. I bought a second bottle because I need to overspray to get the fragrance to stay.

After wearing this every day this week, im kind of addicted. Its lovely. Fresh and a soft rose... tuberrose... water lily floral with fruit, laced with warm inviting soft vanilla. Not overly sweet because I dont do sugar bombs. Top notes are fruity and have Pear, Rhubarb and Mandarin. Mmmmmmm.. Then comes those lush Rose, Tuberose and Water Lily notes creamy and not shouty... The dry down is simply lovely, well blended, delicious... base notes are Musk and Vanilla which keep it snugly and so addictive. I think in summer this will be equally lush... Its very well crafted.. And costs less than most handcreams. I hear its similar to Gres Luminere Rose (its on my list)... Wearing it... Will make people want to get close to you... Wear it to bed.. I have added it to my favourite ROSE fragrances, because its so pretty without overpowering rose for those who arent big on rose. I think this is the first fragrance Ive had with water lily... Winner!! Love it

Ooh this is like limperatrice, xia xiang, and insolence edt had a baby, and she grew up in boarding school, got a degree in art history, went to finishing school, and married a duke. She is understated yet gloriously beautiful. She does not remain on your skin, that would be tacky and a touch obscene. Rather than leave herself on your carnal flesh, where you can say you KNEW her, she lingers unobtrusively on your clothes ,always reminding you that one shall be gracious and delicate in all of one's activities. This is how one reflects good breeding, she reminds you, smiling demurely at you and filling your soul with essence of beauty, making you want to be like her. She's the good angel on your shoulder reminding you that ladies who button their blouses all the way up get more respect. Not too anything, just perfect. Classy but not stuffy. A work of art. One quite approves of this little gem.

Blind bought it because the bottle looked cute and it was cheap af. I am not a big fan of floral perfumes but this is so lovely. In the opening you get a hit of the rose and mandarin orange, then you are left with a gentle tuberose vanilla on the dry down. It's very sweet, gentle and creamy in a way. The lasting power makes me sad. Got 3, 4 hours at most on my skin. You need to overspray when you want it to really hit and last a bit longer on your clothes. I got it for pretty cheap so yea... I don't mind spraying more because of that beautiful opening. ;;Easy blind buy if you like sweet, floral and fruity. 7/10
