CreamyWhat does Black Pearls (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It sits close to evening and night-out wear, and works for leisure too. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, and most voters call it feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.
It opens with peach, bergamot and gardenia, while water lily, white rose and lotus give the heart a soft floral feel. In the base, musk, sandalwood and amber leave a woody, spicy, oriental warmth. The fruity-floral sweetness runs through a powdery texture from start to finish.
