Apothia Pearl Eau de Parfum is a fresh, powdery feminine scent that opens on shiso leaf and plum blossom and settles into a floral heart of peony and Japanese honeysuckle.

What does Pearl (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes, shiso leaf and plum blossom, give a bright, lightly fruity start, backed by citrus and fresh accents. In the heart, peony and Japanese honeysuckle bring the floral side forward while the sweetness stays soft in the background. The base of iris, amber and musk rests the scent on a powdery, faintly resinous and woody footing. Its profile is close to Zadig & Voltaire Girls Can Say Anything and Narciso Rodriguez Essence In Color.
