Only sweet rose, a big No for me.

I got a sample of this because the gorgeous bottle and unique notes really intrigued me. Unfortunately, I can’t say I’m in love. The opening is…a lot. It’s a cacophonous mix of rose, coffee, blueberry and grape where every note seems to be competing with the others instead of harmonizing. The grape and berries are full and sticky-sweet where the coffee and rose are dry and almost harsh. And then…all of that just disappears, and what’s left is a vanillic rose. That’s it. Where the other notes went, I do not know. (Or care to know, I guess – it was better as a vanillic rose anyway.)

I didn’t get any coffee, only a very sweet rose

I love Intense Café. Don’t fool yourself guys. This a very good interpretation of it but the price tag does not justify it. This one is not as “loud” as the Montale but I would say it resembles it 80% at least. If a clone house such as DUA or Alexandria did this and it was priced as a clone should be then this would be a hit. Sadly this is priced at $220 for 75 ml. Double the price of the Montale and 25 ml’s less.

A suggestion of oud is contained in here even though it’s not one of the notes. Grape Pearls is like Montale Intense Cafe but much better done – the coffee is actually present here, the rose and sweetness toned down slightly. There’s also a lot of blueberry to my nose, reminding me of a raspberry-mocha latte. In quality and style, this is very much like an Amouage. The sillage and longevity are colossal; while the jammy rose is something I have to suffer through in the 20-minute or so opening, the drydown is worth it as it morphs into creamy berry coffee. 10/10!

Too, too much coffee. Very reminiscent of Intense Cafe.

The name Grape Pearls is very fitting for this fragrance, the brand name House of Oud… Not so much. A bit confusing as there is no oud at all in this.
But there are grapes, tart and winey, not like cheap grape flavoring. I always love that note, it’s so underused in my opinion.
The beginning is very tart, fruity and fresh with the grapes and their leaves and a clean, juicy rose.
Vanilla joins in the heart, and while I wouldn’t have guessed that there is a coffee note, there is something to give some depth in the background that might be coffee. Over time the vanilla becomes stronger and amber also adds more warmth, but fortunately the grapes don’t vanish and the scent keeps some of its freshness.
I’d say this is more of a feminine perfume. It’s a fruity floral gourmand, but one for grown ups with the wine and coffee. Sweet, but not cloying. While it isn’t a loud fragrance, it lasts well.
I think this is lovely, but a bit expensive for me.
By the way, every bottle looks different, some have way more yellow than purple and don’t look too similar to the picture on this site.

Gourmand lovers: This warrants a spot on your test list. I almost overlooked it in favor of Dates Delight, but found this much more appealing. It is a softly fruited vanilla. The fruit could be blackberry, grape or blueberry – it’s not sharply defined. The roasted coffee bean note here is like toasted marshmallow. When I asked the hubby what he thought his first word was “comforting.” Like a warm slice of blueberry pie. When I use up my bottle of Ginestst Botrytis, I’ll replace it with Grape Pearls.

1st impression: I guess the grape is more like wine? And by “wine” I mean some kind of tart & sharp rose.. To be honest it smelled more like some kind of overdone Aoud from Montale than anything else, but wait…the actual “grape” does come out later in a creamy bubblegumy way, which is pretty good combined with the rose-oud!
2nd try: This time I smell the grape right away, yet still sharp and slightly boozy (hence the red wine), and gets creamier as time passes.

If Intense Café and Noir de Noir had a baby. Coffee, rose, vanilla and blueberries are all prevalent in the start. It seems anything that touts coffee causes a stir in the community and I haven’t heard anything about this one. Well, this one is definitely as caffeinated as the aforementioned fragrances. Beyond the coffee note, I also get a dusty chocolate-y patchouli note akin to Noir de Noir, but there’s no patch listed anywhere on the web. The sweetness get turned up a notch in the heart, while the coffee fades to the back. At this stage, it becomes another fruity-amber-vanilla mash up, not too distinct or original, even for the HoO lineup. I still prefer this one to all that I’ve tried, except Blessing Silence.

اگه بنا به استفاده از آرایه ی ایهام باشه و قرار باشه که این آرایه در کلمه ی “گریپ” قرار داده شده باشه؛ باید عرض کنم که “گرِیپ” در نام این عطر؛ همون انگوره! انگور تنباکویی یا انگوری که در شکلاتهای میوه ای تجربش کردیم. دنبال عطری نباشید که با “درخشش” خودش شما رو مسحور و شگفت زده کنه.
گرِیپ پیرلز با رایحه ی انگور شروع میکنه. انگور سینتیک تافی میوه ای که با پس زمینه ای فلورال، نرم و تازه شده. دقایقی بعد نوبت رز هست تا با بوی آشنا و تازه ی خودش وارد کار بشه تا فضا رو پودری کنه و عطر بویی شبیه به کِرِم مرطوب کننده ی انگور بگیره که با گلاب مخلوط شده. مرطوب کننده ی گلاب آگین گِرِیپ پیرلز، حاشیه ای تند و سبز به خودش می گیره که میخواد عمق کارو بیشتر کنه ولی در نهایت به شکل سئوال بر انگیزی، این بوی سبز و تیز حاشیه نشین از بین میره.
با محو شدن بوی سبز حاشیه، نوبت ورود کهربا و مشک هست تا در نهایت، نتیجه ی این همراهی تقویت انگور در هیبتی مشروبی و لطیف و ادغام شدن رز در فضایی پودری و مرطوب باشه که همه چیز در پوششی از کهربا پیچیده شده. یه عطر انگوری-مشروبی، پودری و کهربایی که تازه و لطیفه.
تمام اونچه در بالا از نظر شما گذشت، در بازه ای یک ساعته اتفاق میفته. این رایحه بخوبی بازخورد میاره و بطری خوش خط وخال اون هم جای تردیدی برای دست بردن در حساب بانکی باقی نمیذاره. اما برای من حس خوشایندی نداره! نه عمقی نه کیفیتی نه درخششی؛ یه سری نوت کنار هم ردیف شدن که در یه ساعت خودشون و معرفی میکنن و بعد از اون یه توهم باقی می مونه با موندگاری 5 تا 6 ساعته.
به هرحال هرکس سلیقه ای داره و گِرِیپ پریلز هم میتونه عطر زیبا و دلپسندی برای بسیاری از دوستان باشه.
