PowderyWhat does Perle Rare Grey smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin and unfolds slowly. The number of voters is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads as a masculine fragrance.
The opening is fruity and fresh from bergamot and blackcurrant, with star anise adding spice. In the heart, jasmine sambac, mint and narcissus bring a soft floral note. The base of oud, leather, frankincense and musk is resinous, leathery and woody, while powdery and creamy touches soften the sweetness. Louis Vuitton Matière Noire and Gucci Gucci Première (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
