Pearl

I'm on a fragrance oil kick and I decided to purchase two new Sage Machado fragrances: Sage Diamond and Sage Rose Quartz, and two beloved memories: Sage Onyx and Sage Pearl. They are all lovely, but, somehow I had forgotten how incredibly beautiful Pearl is. One swoop of Pearl on my wrist brought a gush of memories: being pregnant with my daughter, her infancy, snuglly onesies and fluffy pink blankets... I used up my bottle. With so many scents in the world, I went on to dozens of others, but I missed Pearl, and now I will never be without it. I applied Pearl this morning, but didn't mention its history to my daughter, who is now 10. My daughter asked if she could wear it too, so I applied it to her wrists. She sniffed deeply and got that look only the fragrance-obsessed understands. She said it smells like "paradise"...and then she said, "I feel like I've known this smell my whole life. It smells like a part of me." Isn't that fascinating? Her olfactory memory of infancy was stimulated by Pearl. Pearl is gentle, soft, creamy, and sweet. It is saved from being a "typical" sweet milk (i.e. Matin Calin) by clear, fresh, sublime Oakmoss. Pearl is perfectly balanced and, in my opinion, it's a perfume oil masterpiece.

My second review of Pearl. It’s a year later, and I have been in transition from mother to crone for over a year now. I have had to clear out hundreds of fragrances that my new body simply cannot wear anymore. In a dim corner of my fragrance cabinet, I discovered what was left of a 1/2 oz eau de toilette (which is now a light, golden cognac color) along with about half of a 1/4 ounce of perfume oil extract —both of which I had ordered a year ago. YUMMY. The vanilla and creamy sandalwood present like warm salted caramel, but the oak moss and clean white musk lift up what otherwise would be a a cloyingly sweet, syrupy mess into a perfect symbiosis of warmth, sweetness, and freshness...and the fragrance only deepens with time. My GOODNESS. A Beautiful Glowing Perfect Pearl🫶🏻

Third review— THANK YOU, Miss Sage, for creating and giving to the world these elixirs that so perfectly encapsulate and showcase the beauty, strength and gentleness of the feminine mystique. Each one is (figuratively and literally!) a unique and beautiful gem. My favorite gemstone that isn’t a stone, the pearl, has always been a favorite, second only to amber... another gemstone that isn’t a stone! 🧡🧡🧡 “Mother of Pearls” Dear Giver of Pearls Spirit of Lakes and Seas I have seen your glimmer And it is everything to me Dear Mother of Pearls Those gems of Lakes and Seas, You are the water I float in And the air that I breathe

This is a magical fragrance. It's the closest I've come to a signature scent. Soft, sweet, and gentle but lasts forever..I mean, an eternity on clothing. At times it's just a touch too soft for me so now and then I like to layer It with something like Burberry Brit Rhythm. Pearl can often add a needed soft sweetness to other fragrances. I have the rollerball and the EDT. They are very similar, though the Edt seems just a touch brighter and less sweet. I like to use the EDT for a VERY fine mist all over...it's what I wish my skin naturally smelled like.

Recently became my signature scent, because even though I have hundreds of fragrances, perimenopause has me sensitive to many of them, and so I find myself going back to Pearl again and again. This, for me, smells like a mother’s love— Glowing, warm, cuddly, gentle and sweet. This scent envelops you like a mother’s embrace you can wear anytime you’re sad and feel a case of the “cold pricklies” coming on. Wearing a hug from this fragrance will turn those gloomy cold pricklies into lots of loving “warm fuzzies.” Such a beautiful vanilla/musk scent!

I feel like this fragrance is a very very balanced trifecta: White floral, sweet candies, and musky animal. Like I said, on myself I find these three corners well balaced with each other with none taking center stage. Its true that the fragrance had low sillage and is not an attention-grabbing scent but it is divinely crafted and, as I said exquisitely balanced like few other perfumes I've tested.

Absolutely amazing. Perfect vanilla musk. Don't ever discontinue or change the formula!

I looooove this scent. It's a little like Coty's Wild Musk, but much richer, much more depth. I use the oil, which lasts all day. The nice thing about the oils is that they don't have much drydown - what you smell out of the bottle is pretty much what you get, and the description is right on. From the start of application, it's a very balanced mix of mossy-woody (but light, not heavy), sandalwood, and vanilla musk. It's sweet and slightly powdery, but the vanilla & woods keep it from being bathroom soap - the quickest description is that it's a sweet white musk. Adore it.

I love Pearl (I prefer the perfume oil to the edt spray, it smells richer). I was actually unimpressed at first, thinking it was nothing special, but after catching a whiff of it on a piece of clothing I had worn before, I realized I WANTED this fragrance around me constantly. It's like a very sweet sandalwood and soft musk to me. It's very soft and subtle, little sillage, but lasts several hours on me. It reminds me of the Rice Flower and Shea bath products from BBW.

Pearl is a pretty, gentle, cozy, sandalwood and floral vanilla musk. Clean, nothing animalic. Reminds me a lot of my bottle of Skin Musk oil so I wouldn't need a full bottle of this. But if you like clean sandalwood musks w/ hints of vanilla floating in and out in the background Pearl is a nice one.

it's a really nice vanilla at first but the sweet musk gets really cloying on drydown.

This is a gentle, creamy, clean fragrance that’s slightly animalic. Fuzzy soft sweetness galore, cozy, warm, angelic and pretty. Reminds me of Skin by Clean Reserve but this is sweeter and less pheromone-like. Unfortunately this doesn’t work for me because the musk here gets way too cloying for me. I was still tempted to buy a bottle because of how beautiful the packaging is. This would smell charming on someone else but not me.

I remember that I had a sample of this one and another scent by Sage Machado. I forgot the other scent's name, because Pearl was a bit more pleasant. All in all I didn't like both of them and found them unpleasant to wear.

Pearl is a vanilla scent with very little sweetness and projection. The subtlety makes this fragrance quite serene and beautiful, however for me personally, I find it just a tad too soft. I have no qualms with the composition itself and I like the way it smells on my skin. The vanilla accord is slightly creamy and warm but lacks the common foody sweetness found in so many other vanilla scents. In some ways, it establishes itself as a natural skin-scent. Complimenting the soft vanilla accord, sandalwood and white musk provide a smooth platform on which the vanilla can rest. This fragrance has a somewhat cuddly and inoffensive nature, which ultimately works wonders if you want to wear something that is not easily noticeable. I'm the kind of woman that likes strong and bold fragrances, so smelling Pearl has been a shock to my nose. That's not to say that I don't like it, but I know I won't be reaching for it again any time soon. Pearl's soft and vanillary scent is easily versatile, meaning it could be worn wherever and whenever. I have tested this fragrance in the EDT, but from what I've read, if you wished to smell it in a stronger concentration, I would order this fragrance in the oil form.

This is lovely🌹🌹 I got a really good deal for it online😊 (The 7ml roll on oil)❤️❤️ It smells fuzzy somehow. Like a soft blanket warming your skin. It is a gentle musk (vegan) and plants (oakmoss) mixed with a very slight buttery vanilla. There’s a smell of cool breezes too. The scent of this does not overwhelm, but it lasts on my skin for a few hours. I can still smell it a little bit the next day (I’ve got a REALLY good sense of smell. It’s so keen,that I say I must have been a dog in a past life ;) Sage Machado perfumes are cruelty free❤️😊🐶🐱🐶😊❤️😊🌹🌸❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶❤️❤️

This scent is really nice and feminine, and great for everyday wear. I knew I had smelled it before. I bought a little travel size bottle of roll-on oil, and the more I am wearing it, I am reminded of Alkemia's FoxFire or GhostFire (not sure which one it is...). I no longer own those Alkemia scents, but this one is very similar! It is a nice, simple scent. I feel like I am getting sandalwood, almond, amber, sugar and musk on this one.

This smell is fantastic! Pearl is delicate, gentle, creamy, and sweet. Clear, fresh, delicious Oakmoss saves it from becoming standard sweet milk. It begins with a well-balanced blend of mossy-woody, sandalwood, and vanilla musk. It smells like a sweet white musk since it's sweet and a little powdery. It's fantastic. This is a lovely scent!

This is a lovely spicy vanilla scent, the sandalwood keeps it interesting with it's raw rootiness and youcan smell soft cozy musk in there too. It's nice but not sure if I have to have it.

Very creamy and powdery on me, borderline "granny". I don't think it is particularly cloying, but I do find it a bit "stuffy".
