Description
After the editions Divina (2011), Divina Gold (2012) and Divina Silver (2012), La Perla is presenting Divina Eau De Parfum in 2013. Its feminine and intense notes characterize this edition, which has somewhat changed ingredient in comparison to its antecedent Divina EDT.
Fragrance Divina EDP opens with deep and rich notes of cocktail Kir Royal (which includes intense aromas of black currant and white wine). The heart incorporates powdery-vanilla heliotrope and luminous orange blossom, on a base created of creamy sandalwood and velvety vanilla.
Fragrance Divina EDP arrives in bottles shaped like previous editions of the Divina collection, in the amount of 30, 50 and 80ml EDP and its liquid is pale pink.

This is pleasing. It opens kind of floral and dries down to a nice, pale pink, somehow rosy, a bit powdery scent that’s also the slightest bit bitter. It reminds me of a hypothetical offspring of two perfumes, Yves Rocher Fleur de Noël with a touch of Dior Poison Girl. Sweet but certainly not candyland, sheer and splashy. My SO spontaneously commented that I smelled nice, which is as rare as unicorns. Lovely juice.

Almost cloyingly creamy. Ön my skin it is not so sweet, thick instead. A vast amount of luxurious sandalwood body lotion, a nice fluffy cashmere sweater, some semi-sweet vanilla puding with a hint of berries and a touch of liquer.
A balanced,wealthy, young lady spending her leisure time. Not sexy, it is a comfort perfume for me.
It is a good choise in windy, colder weather.

Cherry syroup liquer D I v I n E ! Half an hour later it seddles nicely to a warm woody vanilla powdery heliotrop. Very nice. catching wiffs by every move. Can smell it on myself putting the nose on skin, but guess in hair it holds and projects still strongly. Nice!
edit 1 h later.
I still catch lovely sweet heliotrop vanilla wood and some cherry liquer note peaks through, but i guess on skin i ve to layer it with a warm woody scent before spraying la perla divina, to hold more of the initial blast of this intoxicating cherry powow ! Addicting. ❤️ I can t find this scent childish or teen-alike. Its very womanly sexy and sultry… The advertisement transports very fine how this “perla” smells and fullfills you with a “devine” feeling.

Divina Eau de parfum
A thick balanced sweet syrup
Heliotrope – blackcurrant liqueur – champagne – sandal wood – vanilla and I can smell some saffron – and I agree with the review bellow (smells as cosmetics maybe a pricey face powder)
One of my favorites, unfortunately it’s under rated while it deserves to spot the light on it
It’s totally different from the EDT, with a very elegant/romantic/bold character
So perfect for 1st date.
lasting power & sillage are so good.

I received a mini of this from a very nice fellow Fragrantican who I’ve had the pleasure of doing previous swaps with (take a bow Fede!), along with some other nice goodies, which is so nice of her!
Sadly though, this perfume isn’t the type I would ordinarily go for. The main reason is that, although I do like quite a lot of sweet perfumes, I find Divina (eau de parfum) to be a bit too sweet for my liking with a slightly sickly, cloying note (might be the heliotrope) which I find slightly suffocating! After a few seconds on my skin it immediately brought to mind two other perfumes …. Franck Olivier by Franck Olivier and Outspoken Intense by Fergie. I found both those perfumes to also have that overly sweet (very saccharin’ish, i.e. artificially sweet not fruity sweet) slightly sickly, cloying sense which I found a bit too much for me personally to be able to wear without feeling slightly queasy!
The other thing that struck me about Divina was that it reminded me of strong smelling lipsticks and face powder so to me it has a very cosmetic smell. It also has a distinct ‘Pepto Bismol’ smell to me, which is something I’ve come across in several perfumes recently and isn’t a smell I’d want to find in a perfume … some people may love that smell but I definitely don’t! I have no clue what that could be but whatever it is doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest!
All in all I can’t say I detest this perfume but unfortunately it’s just not right for me. I’m happy I had a chance to give it a try though thanks to Fede !
