Life Threads Platinum

Fresh · Floral · Green
La Prairie Life Threads Platinum is a women's fragrance for fall and winter evenings, pairing a green, floral side with a chypre backbone; it has been discontinued.
It opens with violet leaf, galbanum and plum, a fresh, green and slightly fruity start. In the heart, iris, rose and jasmine carry the floral side while leather and cardamom add a spicy edge. It dries down on vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and oakmoss, settling into a woody, resinous, faintly smoky chypre.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening leading, though daytime and office wear also get votes. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, and it carries a classic feel. Estēe Lauder Knowing (Eau de Parfum) and Molinard Chypre d'Orient have a close profile.
