What does Black Pearl smell like?

It wears close to the skin: longevity is moderate and sillage is weak. The number of ratings is small, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict.

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base but read as one whole. Lavender and chamomile set a fresh, green, floral tone, while frankincense and myrrh add a resinous, spicy depth. A citrus brightness, some sweetness and a powdery softness round it out. Serge Lutens Encens et lavande and Tom Ford Lavender Extrême have a close profile.
