Pearl by Apothia

I love your review! I have wanted this scent ever since it came out. No one else seems to have sniffed it... or at least not written a review. Pearl is a new classic and trully timeless.

In celebration of 30 years of Apothia - an exclusive A-Lister fashionable boutique in Los Angeles - Ron Robinson launches an exquisite gem of a fragrance: Pearl.

The top note shimmers with the unusual and strikingly beautiful shiso leaf & plum blosson; the middle notes are a melody of gentle floral muskiness, outstanding white peony & Japanese honeysuckle. The base is deeper, but never dark, with a warmly sensitive golden amber, ivory musk and calming orris.

The creators say they wanted to create a fragrance that is "...understated yet powerful; classy, yet trendy and always perfectly polished. [That] works equally well worn with jeans and a tee or that sexy black dress." - I really believe they have been successful in their mission! I can see myself wearing this with a classic pair of jeans & a crisp white shirt, or dancing in the moonlight in an Audrey Hepburn-esque Little Black Dress - vintage of course, daaaaahling - with a glass of champagne in my hand, a long string of pearls twisting as I move.

The longevity is very good - this starts quite softly, with a touch of freshness, but seems to bloom with the heat of your skin. A fragrant trail of jasmine musk - hints of Narciso Rodriguez mixed with the lightness of Noa. A definite keeper for any time of year, but especially for those looking for a sexy yet subtle & not overwhelming perfume for the warmer months ahead.
