    Tried the Vera Wang Periwinkle and Iris hoping it would smell like this, but it doesn’t even come close w/ me and my body chemistry. I compare the Vera Wang more w/ Cotillion than I do Pearls and Lace. The closest thing I have found to it is Sung by Alfred Sung. Wish Avon would bring Pearls and Lace back. Wore it throughout my whole adolescence. Takes me back to the times of big hair and hair bands!! MISS it!

    This one came out in 1985, and my sister and I had it then. I was 13, and I remember there was this lavender colored cashmere sweater I used to wear, my hair was long with some feathering on top (like Melinda Sue Lewis from Guiding Light), and I wore Wet & Wild make up, Love My Nails nail polish and Maybelline Kissing Potion roll on lip gloss.
    This perfume went with sweaters like that, it was a nice fall weather scent. A little powdery and floral, but where was this sort of fizzy spice to it. The name, “Pearls and Lace”, I think the scent was supposed to evoke such things, much like Chantilly was supposed to make you think of lace (though it didn’t smell like Chantilly, but that idea).
    Unfortunately, the one I bought off of EBay is spoiled and rancid smelling, and all of the tricks that are supposed to revive the scent haven’t worked (a gentle shake, spraying a few times to clear out the nozzle). It smells like old chemicals now. What a shame, it was nice in the 80s when it was fresh.

    I had this when it first came out.I was about 16 or 17 years old.Loved it.This was very different smelling as I remember it to smell as a sweet spiced flower.Never smelled anything like it.May have to try the Vera Wang Periwinkle and Iris.

    I have a bottle of this one, and also a bottle called Midnight lace, I assume its some sort of flanker (the bottle is the same, but black, its sweeter and a bit sharper )
    This is so soft, musky, woodsy, and a tad floral. I love it. It is a soft scent, but it still has a backbone, its great and easy to wear. I personally think its a clean musk but the wood deepens it. I also don’t agree with the notes listed here. I do not find this powdery at all, it is a skin scent. The Perfume Intelligence site says its a mossy floral, I would say that is possible, but I still find it a Musk first and foremost. I could be wrong, but that is what my nose smells ! Regardless, I love it 🙂

    I first smelled and fell in love with Avon’s “Pearls & Lace” way back in 1997, when I was a teenager visiting a distant relative. I loved how soft and powdery it was, and it was just so pleasant and made me feel happy. To my 7th grade self, this blend of powder and candied violets was girliness and femininity in a bottle.
    Unfortunately, that bottle was not mine, and I didn’t know how or where to get it. I didn’t know that it was an Avon perfume. In fact, I didn’t even know what Avon was! Lol. Assuming that it was something that could be found at Target or Walmart (not because it smelled cheap, but because I was so sheltered that I thought those stores were where people went to buy everything), I just memorized the name and didn’t bother to learn the brand. Being painfully shy, I also didn’t ask the owner of the perfume anything about it. Of course, I couldn’t find it anywhere, and by the time I learned who made “Pearls & Lace,” it had long been discontinued.
    So, I spent the next twenty years (literally twenty!) searching for something identical, since I didn’t want to buy an old bottle on eBay. I tried every smell-alike suggestions made online and on MUA. BBW’s “Moonlight Path” was close, but too musky. “Cotton Blossoms” was also close, but too laundry detergent-like. Love’s “Baby Soft” was too sugary and sharp, not enough softness and creaminess. “Pavlova” too baby powder-like. “White Shoulders” too dated in the aldehydic sense. Keiko Mecheri’s “Lokhoum” too sweet and talc-y, just inelegant and poorly crafted. “Sweet Honesty” had too much of the cheap fake honey note that smelled like urine.
    Lawdy, I tried everything! The ones mentioned above were just a few examples. I went through 20 years thinking about “Pearls & Lace” constantly, fearing that I would never find something like it. I couldn’t understand why something so simple didn’t have a dupe on the market.
    Luckily, just before Christmas, I received a sample of Vera Wang’s “Embrace Periwinkle & Iris” EDT, which smells 100% identical to Avon’s “Pearls & Lace.” I’ve also written a review for the Vera Wang scent, and I hope that you’ll check it out!

    Very smokey. Very soapy and very musky. Strong for a cologne. The only flowers i can guess is carnation and a powdered rose. It reminds me of the reformulated Pavlova edt a bit. The original Faberge Babe cologne comes to mind but this is skankier and muskier and no rasberry. Almost like there is a burnt rubber thing going on. This scent gets stronger as it wears on the skin. I’ve kept this bottle around because i have a beautiful flacon (not the one pictured above). Mine has a white floral print with a white flower bud stopper. The bottle is thin in depth but shaped like a bell. It’s not my style so i will find a new home for it.

    Finally! This lovely is added to the database! This was my signature scent in high school; my boyfriends mom was an Avon lady and I was always well supplied–perfume, body wash and lotion, in a decorative tin. Not sure I agree with the listed notes here, though. I remember a musky floral (lily?) and sandalwood. I don’t recall it being powdery; it did evolve from more sharp floral to smooth and fleshy – musk. The name always seemed perfect. I’d love to smell it again!
