Description
LA MIA PERLA is the new “pillar” of La Perla collection, the first SOLARORIENTAL composition signed by perfumer Honorine Blanc. She did an amazing job in collaboration with Julia Haart, creative director of La Perla, bringing to life a fragrance full of joy with sophisticated gourmand notes and solar flowers which is exciting, vibrant and extremely seductive.
The bottle and packaging are also amazing; La Perla is playing with geometry and 3D effects in the most tantalizing way. The unique bottle design symbolizes the roundness of the composition and its creation – the scent “does not have a pyramidal structure,” says the brand. It also represents a woman’s personality and the perfume’s application on her neck, wrist and body – very erotic and tempting, marking the roundness of the whole concept of this new La Perla perfume and the brand itself.
The La Mia Perla scent abandons the classic fragrance pyramid structure in favour of a circular, pearl-shaped composition, resulting in one rich symphony that is both infinite and unchanging. Belonging to an innovative fragrance family named Solariental, La Mia Perla is defined by luminosity and creaminess, with notes that combine to create an olfactive portrait of movement. Sparkling Mandarin and White Pepper drive the hypnotic floral core defined by Jasmine Sambac and White Peony. Meanwhile, heavy, texturizing Orris harmonises the floral balance, as the qualities of Silky Suede and Ambrox enrich the white notes. Beneath this, Sandalwood and Muscenone (very powerful musk with two facets, slight animals) bring a muskiness that lifts the composition.
30, 50 and 100 ml EDP. La Mia Perla was launched in 2017.

Sexy, feminine, cosy, carefree, but not unserious. La Perla is actually producer of luxury lingerie and similar products, and the fragrance line is their side activity. With La mia Perla they succeded in creating seducing and – at least for me – very enjoyable, lovely scent for grownup women which I cannot put down. I feel this is not in the league of big, artistic perfumes, made to make longlasting impression and radiate elegance or sophistication. But still, I am very happy for having La mia Perla in my (not so big) collection. As well, it reminds me of Italy, where I travel every year, and encapsulates everything that I love about that country. Sun, heat, warm nights, intensity of life, their men and women, bars, streets filled with happy crowd chatting and laughing.

This was a blind buy for me, notes were up in my alley, loved the bottle, was intrigued by this solar composition and words of the nose behind fragrance. Luckily I could find small bottle for a very decent price. Well, it’s nice and lovely. It’s very musky and woody and I don’t get any powder vibe. I could see wearing this for a date night in colder months. I know this was suppose to be a fragrance for powerful and feminine woman, but I can actually see a man wearing it as well, man who can pull off sweet, musky scents. Packaging is indeed stunning in person. It’s not a love from me, but it’s def like.

This is my first ever review. And how we perceive the world so differently. Some smell simple soap others simply smell..well heaven! This is my new love. I have many..this will be with me for a very long time. My skin absorbs and projects the softness. It settles as it begins. That might in the end be “simple” but to me overwhelmingly comforting.

I love your review MeganD – a gorgeous, hugely expensive cashmere sweater!
Oh this is beautiful! Really beautiful, soft and creamy, no synthetics or anything overwhelming to me. A perfectly natural and at the same time sexual fragrance which dries down very close to the skin.
Something in La Mia Perla reminds me a bit of Narciso Rodrigues For Her (black bottle), it must be the musk. It also has a similarity to Lancome’s Tresor which is definitely because of the orris, which I love, perhaps the sandalwood too. The orris here is much quieter, I notice it because it is one of my favourite notes. Please don’t avoid trying it if you do not like Tresor.
Beautiful!
Thank you La Perla for this wonderful perfume!

Creamy coconut & salty suede through to a musky heart.
A mainly vanillic, savory scent with a dry down of soft, woody, steamed rice/vanilla in the ilk of KENZO AMOUR, minus any floral notes. 6 hour longevity with one spray per wrist, starts with a satisfyingly intimate aura and ends skin close.

Gorgeous! Long lasting,good sillage and just soooooo sexy yet ccomforting at the same time! I have a vintage bottle of Guerlain L`Instant Magic Elixir 30 ml and instantly thought these are identical…smelling both on both wrists! Perfection and YES the bottle is to die for!!!

I like this perfume. It is a feminine every day year around scent. It’s a bit more of a fall/winter scent because it is woody and musky, but it is still light and airy enough to work during the spring/summer seasons. It can work for all age and in professional and casual environments (not really party environments).
Unfortunately doesn’t mix well with my skin. My skin absorbs most of the notes and leaves me with nothing but a musky scent with a medicine like sweet undertone to it.
Overall, I’d give this an 7 out of 10.

Ok, the review that says “this smells like Avon Soft Musk” is a flat-out lie. Soft Musk stinks and smells oily, resinous and just way too screechy. This is petal-soft and so beautifully feminine.
It starts smelling spicy-peppery, with a little bite, and reminds me a lot of Burberry Brit. However, unlike Brit which is heavy and just too hard-hitting, this opens up and blooms into a beautiful, powdery, almond/lilac mixed with vanilla. It’s absolutely addicting and I can’t stop sniffing.
This lasts long but turns into a skin scent basically right after applying it. I get lots of compliments and I can see it as trending more mature yet I find that it’s still wearable for someone in their early 20s.

Pleasantly surprised with this blind buy. Very lovely. I smell ‘beautiful’ when I wear this perfume and catch a whiff of it 🙂

This perfume represents a unique scent of femininity to me. It is sweet, though very powdery and musky. The fragrance itself is certainly comforting as many musky-powdery perfumes are, but I find the woodiness to be a little overbearing. I’m not even sure what occasion this fragrance would be suitable for because it does not strike me as particularly sexy or casual. Admittedly, the longevity and sillage of this fragrance are both amazing, as I can still somewhat smell this perfume on my skin the day after the initial application. I will also admit that I WANT to like this eau de parfum, as it definitely possesses an air of sophistication to it, but I cannot get over the heady, strong, woody and powdery accords.

I fell for the review below, and another on the John Lewis website, extoling the virtues of this marvellous potion and ordered a bottle. Laugh at me, I am never falling for reviews again without a test, because this stuff (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry laughing both at myself and others) THIS IS AVON SOFT MUSK!! It just is. Soz guys. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh I’m such an idiot. Note to self, no more blind buys, no more blind buys, repeat until sinks into synapses..
The packaging is beautiful though, very unusual, the box has a holographic sphere on it and the bottle is lovely, although the white line round the top cheapens it, the finish ought to be better.
Dear Carlos, buy your wife five bottles of Avon Soft Musk instead!!!
Ps. I do really like Soft Musk btw, it’s a great scent, just not at four times the price.

My wife is realy impressed and pleased with this fragrance. Over the last 5 years she has been devoted to 4 perfumes – Angel, Eau du Soir, Rush and Midnight Poison. Finally with La Mia Perla she found a new member for her Top Four as Midnight Poison currently is impossible to find.
Congratulations for La Perla. This new perfume is fantastic.
