Description
The house of Parfums Volnay Paris has rich history and takes us for a journey in time, while offering a persuasive balance between tradition of the brand and its contemporary image. This house was founded in 1919 in the golden age of perfumery. Founder of the house is Germaine Madeline Duval, who started the fragrant journey in the 1920es.
After many years, it was revived with five new creations founded on old formulas of perfumes Yapana from 1922, Brume d’Hiver from 1922, Objet Celeste from 1925, Etoile d’Or from 1925 and Perlerette from 1925. Perfumer Amelie Bourgeois worked on appropriate reformulations, and she managed to maintain refinedness, elegance and sophistication of old formulas, presenting them in contemporary and very feminine way.
All perfumes of the house of VOLNAY are unique for their olfactive connection, since they contain the same notes in their ingredients: powder, vanilla, rose and cloves, which build up to other ingredients in five different ways. These ingredients are square one and signature of all creations of the house – we find them in all compositions, listed as base 4092.
The flacons are inspired by round, herbal form in Art Deco style, with decorations made of blackberry leaves and branches. As symbol of the brand, blackberry branches and leaves suggest energy and liveliness, but also wild nature. Five new fragrances by PARFUMS VOLNAY PARIS were presented exclusively at FRAGRANZE 11 in Florence 2013.
Perlerette by Volnay is a Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Perlerette was launched in 2013. Top notes are aldehydes and bergamot; middle notes are orange blossom, jasmine, rose, pink pepper and lilac; base notes are iris, ambrette (musk mallow), vanilla, violet, musk, powdery notes, rose and clove.

Perlerette was made before Chanel Misia. Perlerette is the original, a more balanced and harmonic composition. Misia is almost the same fragance with the addition of a fruit accord. Olivier Polge, I got my eye on you.

It’s perfect. The kind of scent I didn’t know I needed until I needed it. The softest wood, the sweetest florals. Airy and clean. This is what I thought (the terribly disappointing) Infusion D’iris would smell like. This liquid may as well be a huge make up powder puff that I’m rolling around on. It makes me feel like I’m backstage preparing for my starring role on Broadway. Or a geisha sitting in a garden. Or a grown ass woman who’s so sophisticated even her make-up smells good. After about 20 minutes the scent transforms into something that resembles clean laundry and lipstick, while still retaining its make-up opening. I just wish this wasn’t a gazillion dollars, or I’d be spraying it all the time, slipping into my powdery wonderland.

As I first dab it,I smell loads of heavy lipsticky powder.I can say there’s violet iris and rose without knowing it’s notes and strangely I like it but it doesn’t last longer than a minute and is replaced by something unpleasant to my nose
It seems like two notes show up and cover all this powdery goodness.one of them is aldehydes which I normally don’t dislike but the other one is something that’s not mentioned here.I can pickup leather or maybe it’s an unlisted labdanum as someone mentions below.I don’t like the combination of soapy aldehydes and dirty animalic note.but thanks god this stage doesn’t last long either.after five minutes that leather or labdanum or whatever it is leaves and aldehydes calm down and I’m left with a gentle, gorgeous powdery scent
Drydown is a combination of ambrette,musk and a hint of soft vanilla with all powdery florals and powdery notes.it’s not as powdery heavy as the opening and I like it alot but not enough to decide to buy it.I prefer to look for a cheaper similar fragrance but if you’re into makeup powdery perfumes and don’t have budget limitations,volnay perlerette would be a nice choice.it’s pure face powder and lipstick, of luxurious brands.after first ten minutes it’s very balanced,feminine and likable and there’s nothing to ruin it’s soft powdery heaven.it’s longlasting but after first hour it’s almost a skinscent

تو شروع با یه رایحه سنگین پودری-رژلبی مواجهیم که کاملا مشخصه ترکیبی از زنبق،بنفشه،رز و نت های پودری هست اما خیلی زود دوتا نت خودشون رو نشون میدن و عطر رو برام ناخوشایند میکنن.ترکیبی از نت های آلدهیدی و چیزی شبیه به چرم یا لادن یه رایحه صابونی کثیف رو بوجود میاره که خوشبختانه بعد از پنج دقیقه محو میشه و چیزی که برجا میمونه ترکیبی لطیف از گلهای پودری،مشک ملو و مشک و وانیل هست که کاملاً یادآور بوی لوازم آرایشه که درعین حال بسیار لطیف و خانومانه و دوست داشتنیه.ماندگاری خوبی داره اما پخش چندانی نداره.درکل بجز چند دقیقه اول،دوسش داشتم

Not surprising with notes of powder, violet and iris that this falls in the trend of lipstick-inspired fragrances, but it does it so well!! Too many of them are sweet or too heavy on the rose. This is most like Repulca Lipstick On, but less waxy – that one always makes me think of whale blubber. I think it’s the clove that keeps it from going sweet, even though the note itself isn’t pronounced. The ambrette is definitely noticeable and keeps it soft and sexy, because otherwise the powder is heavy, but I like that way. My favorite of the Volnay line.

I absolutely love the soft, powdery Iris in Perlerette…but the longevity of the fragrance leaves much to be desired….at that price, it should last longer. If you spray it on your clothes, it does stick around longer. The iris in it is exquisite. It’s beautifully composed. A classic for an elegant evening out.
