Life Threads Gold La Prairie for women

Upon applying LIFE THREADS GOLD, a perfume masquerading as an edp, I immediately caught a waft of ANGEL, and then POISON, and then basically all of the Big Fat Floral Fragrances of the 1980s rolled together into one overwhelming and EPA-inimical package.

Yes, indeed, this is a big, loud, powerhouse oriental floral perfume launched thirty years too late! Everything is here: the purple fruit (plum), the near-toxic concentration of already very potent spices (clove, pepper, cinnamon), the huge billowy flowers which fill the room and may suffocate some among those present who happen to be standing too close to the wearer. And just in case anyone is still not satisfied, there's even myrrh!

Needless to say: this stuff is strong. Not for me, above all, because of the purple fruits and clove: vraiment de trop! (The bathtub is beckoning...) Might work for someone who was weaned on POISON. For everyone else, this product should carry a prominently displayed headache advisory warning label.

I think it's a great fragrance. I've tried it couple of times and wasn't diassappointed at all. It gave me a warm, sweet, luxury feeling, feminine and not too loud. I like the bottle too.

A goreous fragrance, very strong and to me very much like Coco Chanel and more suited to the 40+ market. Not me (as not in that age bracket) but I appreiciate it for its beauty and staying power.

Today i was test this smell with my husband , he love this smell and would like buy for me for my birthday.He told me smell very good never smell this style before and stay very more hours in his skin and after take shower smell still in skin too.

This scent is way too intense for me. It is not designed for young people. (I should have understood it from the ads). Although the scent is good and very long lasting on the skin, after a while you get bored because it smells too intense. Pity I bought it for a lot of money and could not use it.

This is a bad copy of chanel "coco". I am sorry, but i will pass. I much prefer chanel house. I also find the advert. a little bit tacky...

I have spent a lot of years looking for that 'special' scent, one that is not just seasonal, on trend, temporary, transient, but a scent that for me will reflect all my life experiences that have gone before. Each year that passes that 'scent' that I seem to be looking for changes, but the base notes seem to be the same! I think I've found something after a very long time that is very special. Life Threads Gold is a very classy, sensual, mature smell that makes me feel very good and very happy. I love it.

“Life Threads Gold represent the richness of life... the
rarest... the most beautiful and most sought-after. The
exquisite femininity of Rose Petals... the rich spice
caravan scent of Clove Bud and Cedar wood. This is
a fragrance that speaks to the La Prairie woman of
the richness of the life tapestry she is weaving, and of
the exquisite beauty of her heart's desires.

I was kind of very surprised when I sprayed this on a paper today! I don't know, but when I think of a fragrance with 'gold' I automatticly expect something piercing, but thick. This is something completely different! I'm going to search for that paper in my bag though so I can tell you guys more.

I have 1.5 ml tester, well... it's very sweet and tasty, but I don't know if it's possible wear it all day. Anyway it's not for hot weather.

Life Threads Gold is boring, sweet, fake aromatized and headache inducing. Being in a group of oriental spicy where are many ground shaking and inspirative perfumes I think this stands no chance. Yet, it stands no chance towards girly sweet perfumes. Because of the price. Neither on heaven or earth. Did I mention it is boring? Like child bubblegum which you enjoy for three minutes and for the rest of the day suffer jaw ache.

unlike the person that just reviewed, i loved the platinum smell. it's like a feminine and chic cologne and personally i like the way colognes smell because women's fragrances are all overly flowery.

I was accosted yesterday by a sales woman at the La Prairie counter in a department store who insisted I try this trio of perfumes (Life Threads Gold, Silver and Platinum). What amazed me was how ordinary they were and nothing at all special considering how expensive they are (in England about $140 for a 50ml bottle). The only one I remotely liked was the Gold one which was OK but I certainly wouldn't fall over myself to spend that kind of money on buying a scent that's so ordinary. The Silver and Platinum ones both sucked!! Personally, I'd expect a lot more from perfumes which retail at such a high price.

It's a great scent. Spicey, deep fragrance.
