What does La Perla (2012) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top pairs citrus fruits, tagetes, osmanthus and freesia for a fresh, green, lightly sweet start. In the heart, Bulgarian rose and Grasse jasmine meet a spicy trio of pepper, cardamom and coriander. The base builds an earthy, woody chypre ground from oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood and musk.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daily wear, with some votes for night out and evening. Perfumes with a close profile include La Perla (2013) Eau de Toilette and Heeley Chypre 21.
