Divina La Perla for women

God this is beautiful.. best blind buy ever.

Delicious stuff! One of the most girly perfumes I have ever smelled. There are no rough edges, nothing complicated, and nothing too delicate either. I smell strawberries, rose, and citrus mixed with the sourness, sort of skin sex quality, but then the vanilla and musk comes out and it dries down to something warm, milky and creamy. Victoria Secret Angel Sexy. Those who love Miss Dior (cherie) and the like will absolutely love this. It has horrible lasting power but good silage. Great spring and summer frag.
Edit: wore this on a warm day, and it lasted the entire day leaving a trail of admirers behind me. I love it

@Jellybean: an EDP has just been launched, check it out!
PS: it's gorgeous.

Pink rose and jasmine floral with vanilla, strawberries and soft musk.
Young and girly.

Slight resemblance to KM's Pink Sparkle...... Divina's more of a soft floral whereas Pink Sparkle is fizzier and champagne's more pronounced. Here I only smell it at initial spray.

Reapply often, got 2 hours out of it. Wish it had more power to it.
Anyone's thoughts on edp version?

Divina belongs to this family of perfume that I like to call "fresh shampoo smell". It is far from being what i would normally wear but it is young and pretty. It moves really fast through the top notes to reveal a fizzy musk that is still sweet and rosy. The champagne accord makes it festive and I can see a pretty, bubbly younger woman wearing this very well. It slowly moves into "conditioner" smell after a short time. It must be because of the vanilla/amber in the base notes that make it smell more creamy...

It's really like having champagne with strawberries/cream in Barbie's garden of blooming synthetic flowers. Nice for the money, but does not really stand out. A nice beginners perfume in a lovely heavy bottle. Girly girls will like it I believe. And all girls who like frills and pink.

I get more realistic wild strawberries in the dry down than in the opening. It dries down very well to an ambery/musky berry scent.

Sadly it is not my type at all... oh well.

I'm a divvil for blind buys, this is a very successful one!
Bought this on the back of reviews below and note votes. I seemed to have guessed it right on how it would smell. :-)It actually smells even better than I thought!
To me this is a very fresh scent, like Dolce Gabbanas L'Imperatrice's older but quieter sister with a headier rose note.
My skin eats fragrances and I have to experiment a little bit with body butters, oils and lotions to keep my scents on (sillage monsters like Tom Ford's Black Orchid disappear within 4 hours on me)... so this one I suspected wouldn't last more than 2 hours...but...
3 hours in and I still get a very nice, warm and actually quite sharp but not disturbingly so champagne note mixed with a bit of strawberry and a touch of sandalwood (perhaps vanilla?? definitely not gourmand vanilla though).
I bought this as an office scent and it totally is but I'm now also thinking I would LOVE to wear this out, just reapply a few times during the night. Due to the bottle's unfussiness, my 30ml will fit in my going-out-purses, no problem!
I'm very happy with this and it goes straight into my favourites!

4/5

I love this perfume, I tried it in John Lewis and have been obsessing about it ever since. It is so warm, floral and reminds me of Benefit Bathina products and Sexy Little Thingss Ooh La La by Victoria's secret as it's quite sensuous. The sort of perfume I can imagine in a glamorous bombshell's boudoir, adorning the dressing table. Kind of in the same group as Benefit Maybe Baby perfume, with the champagne note and fruit, but Divina is more 'rosey'. It's loverly :)

This was so perfect! just by reading the notes I had a hunch this would be the one for my sister for x-mas. So I blind bought this through amazon @ a fantastic price (29.50) for a 1.7oz...&& it's absolutely wonderful it smells so like her, this is something she'd deff. wear. It's nice clean fresh feminine fruity-floral I did just a spray on my hand to test it out && I can not stop smelling it ugh thank you hunch, thank you parfum 1 for being so inexpensive, && thank u Divina for smelling so wonderfully right! :)

I love it! I'm amazed that it glides so well with the Body Shop Shea Body Butter Keratie! I was worried that my cream will spoil the smell of the perfume for me cuz I really love the cream as it keeps my skin very soft and I wasn't going to stop using it just because this perfume wasn't working with it! But to my surprise the perfume is so close to the skin smell but with floral soft smell that I know I'll be addicted to smelling it on me for a long time!

Divina didn't sound promising to me: the notes are not quite original, the bottle is boring, the promo shot is not the best one I've seen.

But, I decided to try it on impulse and I can't say I regret. This fragrance may indeed not be the most original thing ever, but still it's neatly composed.

It's feminine - sweet, soapy, but also somewhat playful and mischievous. All in a moderate, tender way though. I love how close to the skin and intimate it feels.

Notes as stated on manufacturer's sample:

''TOP
Garden of the Hesperides Calabria
Wild Strawberry
Pear Granita
Champagne Accord

MID
Rose Bouquet
Orange Blossom Cream
Water Jasmine

DRY
Musk Serenolide
Amber Crystals
Blond Wood
Vanilla''

This is a wonderful fruity floral in my opinion. Wild strawberry tends to make perfumes smell quite childish and overly sweet, but here it is really nicely balanced by slightly sour, sparkly champagne which seems to keep all the sweet notes in order so they don't become overly cloying.

The middle notes and drydown don't make this really original. After all jasmine, rose and orange blossom are no novelty, and neither are woods, vanilla, musk and amber. However, the origiality of this fragrance lays in the fact that the ingredients used are clearly of good quality and are beautifully blended. Most fruity florals smell cheap, or 'messy' or most frequently both at once. This is not the case in here, at least in my experience.

So the sparkly, fruity opening doesn't really leave for a few hours. It just gets softened by the gradually unravelling floral notes. Then it finally gives up and the base notes start slowly pushing the heart notes off the pedestal. It's all smooth and well balanced. For some reason I just don't pay attention to the fact that there are no particularly interesting and captivating notes in here. It's all about the proportions of each ingredient used to blend this potion, which give it this smoothness and high quality touch.

Not a ground-breakig fruity floral, but finally a bloody well-made one!

Bought this unsniffed, which is rather stupid thing to do. Unfortunately Divina seems to hate me. It turns very sharp and sour on my skin and gives me a headache. Not what I expected, no strawberries, no rose, just sour unpleasant chemical odour.

Edit: Tried it again and the sour note is gone. Maybe Divina clashed with some other perfume or body cream I was wearing when I tried it for the first time? Now I really like it. Divina is a soft, sweet fruity floral, very feminine and pretty.

God, I really love this perfume. It's great and quite unique without being too much of a special snowflake.

When first sprayed on my wrist I can smell a really fruity strawberry-mandarin orange-champagne scent. It calms down quickly, and after only about 10-15 minutes you get to the heart of the perfume which sticks with you till the end.

Once the top notes have faded what I can smell is mostly a warm vanilla, rose, orange flower, musk and amber. I can smell some woodsy notes in the background, but they aren't very prominent.

The note which interests me the most in this perfume is the rose. I've always found real roses to smell like 80s dish soaps. However, this rose scent tastes sweet only at the tip of your tongue. Not at the back of your tongue like the nauseating rose smell I'm familiar with.

Like others have said, the lasting power isn't very good. You don't need a lot of this perfume for people to smell it on you, but you need to refresh it quite often. The smell is completely gone on my wrist after only 6 hours. Perfume usually sticks to my skin in such a way that I can smell it vaguely even after 24+ hours. So I'm just going to spray a little of this on every 4 hours or so if I'm going out. It's quite expensive, but I like the scent enough to buy it despite of the lasting power being poor.

I like the smell of this fragrance...it seems sort of carefree to me. It has a simple sweetness to it, not too sweet and it doesn't stand out but it's nice. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long at all. Based on the smell, I would love to have a bottle. I just don't thinK I will because I am not impressed with the staying power.

i liked this scent and bought it... however it is much too light to be worth the price it was... it doesn't last long at all... not worth the money for its lasting power. I honestly keep respraying all day every hour.

original. I keep sniffing my arm. I don't have anything like this.

Oh Divina!
Is truly divine, a sort of sweet divine.. finally i can smell a true strawberry note. Very very femenine, i love it. Its fresh, its lovely, sophisticated without being complicated, a new favorite, i have a travel size mini and i used it for my vacations, and this is the kind of scents i like to be alone and surrounded by it, therefore its my next buy.

A lovely lady like perfume , the notes can easely be taken for a girly girly perfume , But this is actualy pretty Gown up and sort off powdery. I dont know what makes it that way but i swear , it is powdery. maybe the rosse makes it that way. the strawberrys and champagn i can detect ,Rose for shure some tiny whiff off flowers and citrus .
this to me became a little unberable whit the powdery Strawberry rose thing.. Not to sweet , but there is somthing weard to me .
Delicios yes for shure , but just dont for me .

I tried it at the La Perla corner at La Rinascente, Milano. It is really wonderful! Perhaps the first Italian fragrance that I truly loved! The bottle... *thumbs down*, but the rest worths purchasing it.

I like it very much,from the beginning until the time it fades away.it's fruity,but doesn't smell childish or cheap.it's a very classy day perfume.though the first notes are almost modern,after an hour of spraying it smells very classic,pure rose.
I may get it as my next perfume.it's the best Perla perfume I've tried so far.

Not sensational or very original, yet somehow I really enjoy wearing it. Blind buy based on reviews here, description and the notes. The fresh top notes soon disappear, it's true, and leave behind a warm, modern, not overpowering mild floral/woody/musky trail. It doesn't seem very strong or have a lot of lasting power, yet leaves a delicious trail of some elusive aroma in any room I've fairly recently visited.

Overall, I feel this is a nice, sophisticated, very wearable fragrance suitable for almost any place or occasion.

A floral fruity between the lines of d&g imperatrice. Feminine an sweet, though the staying power is so so.. A pity really. Otherwise i could have been very enthousiastic!

Tried Divina today. Very intrigued by it. To me the woman who wears it best is a true Bombshell. Not just a sexy kitten, but a sensual, voluptuous woman, softly seductive, with a certain warmth and depth...to me Divina is a Brigitte Bardot.

Update: bought it today... couldn't resist--it's just too delicious. :)

have bought this frag today. the begining is fresh and light, but it doesn't last long. Then comes flowers, very sweet, warm and feminine. At the end i feel musk and wood...no vanille at all. The staying power is rather good. I can't say that it's something incredible, but the frag is worth paying attantion! I like it!

I have to add that it doesn't last long. After 2 hours it's already completely gone.

PS: After re-testing it and covering me really in it, I guess the lasting power for such a light scent is ok. But I also figured it's not my kind of scent. The drydown is nicely sweet and if you e.g. like hypnotic poison, this could be for you.

This one isn't uninteresting. It is more subtle and tender but not completely vanishing. The start was like jellybeans to me and I wasn't convinced too much. Now after 1 hour the white flowers come out with a hint of powder. It's an elegant scent for any occasion, even business and going out. I'm not so sure if I would buy it. I guess I'll have to test it more often.

Disappointing. One is bashed with some ads at bus stops, the bottle and box are alluring, the name... oh, well, ambitious to say the least! Then I smelled the perfume from tester and I felt meh!
What is this? A flat concoction of strawberry, ultra-sweet, fruity frizzy candy. On paper it smells just nice, on my skin it smells sweetish and flat pink candy. La Perla could do better. The lasting power is good.

this perfume smells really nice, but only with the first spritz ! it reminds me a lot of chweing gum from the 90s, i smell strawberries and this bubbly champagne scent, but as for me this is probably too sweet and artificial ;)
tt is good that there is a woody note, because the smell would cause headaches without it, probably ;)
as i said, a nice scent but only for 2-3 hours, than it's boring and smells very cheap

Floral fruity champagne, joyful strawberry juice, delicate jasmine and rose bouquet, all these elements give to Divina an elegant, cheerful aura, for a sophisticate yet sparkling personality.

I have this and i am really loving it!!! It is truly a scent of strawberries and champagne!!! Very joyful and not over the top sweet. Reminds me of a strawberry ice-cream. Really good fragrance with a bit dissapointing staying power and low sillage! Highly recommended for summer. But you have to spray it a lot to feel it.
