Hard to review because it’s not an easy scent to understand. My first impression was baby powder with talc and rose as the star, but the baby vibe fades once the spices come out… yet they’re so well-balanced that the whole aroma is so subtle I’m not even sure if it’s fresh or not. Haha, it’s beautiful… I read in a video that it smells like clean sheets, and yes, it does, thanks to its subtlety and delicacy. If you like rose, you’ll like this, just note that it’s not sweet, but supremely elegant. It took me a while to get it, but I fell in love. It also reminded me of those little candies here in Mexico called perfumitos. I repeat, I own Valentina Pink and they’re in the same style, but it’s not a dupe; in Valentina, the strawberry shines, while here it’s all about the rose. If you like powdery, feminine perfumes, you must have both 😊
Super discovery from Lalique and beyond… It’s mysterious and evolves brilliantly. I love it. Along with Pour Homme (León) and Hommage… three jewels!
I’ll be keeping this for years; I use it once or twice in winter. It feels a bit overwhelming to me, with a potent note that lingers for hours, reminiscent of sharpening a pencil. People have asked what I’m wearing, but honestly, there’s something about it that just doesn’t work on my skin. Very feminine.
A fragrance unlike many others, exquisite, not invasive or annoying, long-lasting, and leaves you feeling relaxed.
I absolutely love it, I love it, I love it. It’s completely different from everything else I’ve tried—unique and distinctive, you can’t miss it. ‘Delicatessen’…
Perles De Lalique, finally you’re mine! I had many doubts because I decided not to buy perfumes blind for at least a season, but then I found it at El Corte Inglés and smelled it… what madness… obviously I didn’t buy it there as it’s 4 times more expensive. What a cold fragrance; in fact, the bottle is frozen, it’s a cube of ice with a frozen garnet rose inside; it’s a very dry perfume, a proper chypre, but powdery, and I also strongly perceive the pepper. I love it! It’s so different from everything I own. Without a doubt my first Lalique but certainly not the last.
Finally, this jewel has reached my hands. It’s very hard to describe my olfactory impression; I’ve never heard anything like it. A rose that looks very well-dressed, very distinguished, cold, powdery, and not at all feminine. A unisex fragrance, timeless, unique, bordering on niche. I highlight the clean cotton scent it delivers. Sillage and projection are quite good. Price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable. Lalique always surprises me and never disappoints. It’s already part of my fragrances that I can’t live without.
Every description I’d read about this fragrance pulled at me: a rose and wind, a white rosebud, the coldness of abandoned churches and cemeteries, a gothic, vampiric scent of moss and old wood… Well, it’s exactly what I expected. It makes me think of a cemetery with cold stone sculptures covered in dust and moss, with roses growing over them and a hint of fresh spice in the air. It’s a cold fragrance, evoking a solitary or distant person, though I was expecting it even colder. There’s a touch of warmth, perhaps from the rose, but I’m not sure; it feels resinous to me, which in my opinion makes it unsuitable for summer. To me, it’s better suited for autumn, winter, and maybe early spring. The bottle reminds me of black ice and pearls, very fitting, and releases a soft, pleasant mist. An elegant and distinctive fragrance.
My olfactory nemesis: the dark side of this fragrance. I’ve given it a thousand chances but it’s like a cat that hisses at you; I know it will never want me or maybe I’m the cat. We glare at each other with disdain like two felines who can’t stand one another. I’ve tested it in every kind of weather: heat humidity rain… and the result gets worse each time. In the heat it becomes noticeable; the roses (strangely) get stuck and the woods emerge but the patchouli they claim is there doesn’t manifest on me. What always fails is an iris that punches me in the face leaving a dry brittle paper trail that’s sweet yet unpleasant and above all that camphoraceous halo that won’t go away even with hot water (no exaggeration it’s happened to me). They say it’s balsamic but to me it smells like mothballs and is intrusive. This is the great mystery of Perles de Lalique: what chemical trick produces that stench? I thought it came from the pepper but I’m sure it doesn’t. The essential oil smells warm deep and woody with a very comforting effect far from the coldness of camphor. I know this because I have both oils. Is it the famous ISO E molecule? If anyone can clarify that I’d greatly appreciate it. Wherever it comes from that nuance ruins the composition for me though tastes vary. There are many reviews on YouTube; one YouTuber dedicated an exclusive video to it and included three others (does it really deserve four videos? Seriously?). There are things that leave me speechless. A popular YouTuber with an Amazon book says it smells like “clean sheets.” To me clean sheets don’t smell like camphor unless they’ve been stored for years or washed with disinfectant. Vernel smells more like clean sheets than this. Then there’s the concept of “cold rose almost institutionalized by them. Cold rose… as if they cultivated it in Yakutia. And that it’s an elegant Chypre… I can imagine the original Miss Dior standing up and saying, “Hold my champagne, I’m going to tell this upstart four things.” For this to be considered a Chypre is already a joke. But elegance varies greatly between people. To me, it smells like a muscle rub and is lightyears away from elegance. Now I’ll get serious: I believe these YouTube reviews, or at least the ones I’ve seen, aren’t doing Perles de Lalique any favors. Obviously everyone conveys their opinion, and that’s taken for granted. The problem is that many people seeking guidance take this information too literally. It’s a particularly chameleon-like perfume, and I’m not saying that as praise or an advantage. No one warns that it’s very changeable, even on the same person, and can react unfavorably. Something that can happen with any perfume, but this one takes the cake. I know I might raise hackles and won’t get even a measly applause, given the popularity of Perles de Lalique, which is incomprehensible to me. I’ve just shared my experience, which so far hasn’t been pleasant. If any ironic comment has offended any Perles de Lalique lover, I offer my sincerest apologies. One thing is certain: if I dedicated such an extensive review to it, it’s because it doesn’t leave me indifferent. If I hate it so much, maybe one day the tables will turn and I’ll love it all of a sudden. In the meantime, I’ll keep it in a dark corner, like the alien from Roswell, trying to unravel it and hoping to understand it someday.
I had to write about this jewel. First because I’m fascinated that it’s not commercial although it’s obvious that it isn’t. It’s totally different from the direction current perfumery has taken. On me it’s intensely feminine; it doesn’t work as a Unisex like Aventus for Her does. I was coming from intense perfumes like Erba Pura so finding this second skin of woody rose/iris was a total twist. When I first smelled it I was transported back to my early years with the trail of Cristalle de Chanel that my grandmother left behind when she went out. On my skin it works as a camphorated rose and its dry-down is an earthy patchouli that reminds me of Lolita Lempicka’s Si the only patchouli I’ve ever stood; I don’t feel the ISO E molecule but I love it so there’s no problem. Since I use cocoa butter body cream the chords cross over and I don’t get the coldness I’ve read so much about. However a talcated rose develops with a delicious iris and soft but persistent final woods. It’s a vintage vibe yes but rabidly current. Elegant mysterious clean but not fresh… On me it works timelessly; I use it at night in summer and during the day in cooler seasons. It’s the only rose/patchouli/iris perfume of this type I currently use because the balm and talc these notes can withstand make it delicate and why not quite sensual. I love it and will love it for a long time. It’s exactly what I needed in my collection. Congratulations to the men who dare to “dress” this fragrance.
@Sidonie I haven’t tried Lalique’s Perles, but I read your review and I’m interested in testing it, although it’s unlikely I’ll buy it since I usually wear fragrances for men. Women’s scents are also interesting, especially when they feel like they belong to a person. I have mixed feelings about Lalique, and your description of Perles catches my attention, just like your review of Encre Noir which I already noted. The notes sound suggestive. I prefer Fragrantica reviews over YouTube ones. Thanks for your review.
Perles gives me that coldness others mention, especially at the beginning. I use it when I want to wrap myself in its distant aura and create a bubble of security. It smells of lots of rose, lots of patchouli, and above all, lots of pepper. As it evolves, the rest of the notes fade, leaving a soft, wearable patchouli with a powdery touch. Projection is moderate-to-high and longevity is about 9 hours. It’s elegant and serious, perfect for work. I use it during the day in any season except summer.

@ Mr. Baskerville, thank you so much for reading me. My experience with Perles is very particular and minority. Not liking it doesn’t mean it lacks quality; simply, the chemistry doesn’t work for me. I would have loved to try it before, but there were no testers in department stores; I only bought it online blind. I knew what I was exposing myself to with the pepper note, which I don’t like except in rare occasions. Still, I jumped in and got a serious burn, haha. At first, I was stung by curiosity and the wonders people told about it, but it didn’t work with me. I wouldn’t want to induce a failed purchase, because for me, Perles isn’t cheap. My purchasing power is moderate, and spending 30 euros on something that smells disgusting didn’t sit well with me. But I do think that on a man’s skin, that camphorated and peppery nuance with a woody base could be interesting. Many post-purchase reviews on Notino are from men; I suggest taking a look. Thanks again (!!!)
I tried it in summer and winter, and my impression was the same. On skin, Perles opens astringent and turns into powdery, synthetic, camphorated rose, with a hint of pepper and patchouli. It lasts like this for about 6 hours, although the patchouli gains ground over time. Among rose-patchouli combos, it sits between YSL’s Elle (feminine and fruity) and Midnight Poison (dark and masculine). Perles is ambivalent: a rose that’s not excessively floral with an earthy base, suitable for a man who likes traditional scents. It feels like a cold-weather perfume, day or night, with a soft trail and good longevity. Perfect for smelling good without bothering anyone: office, meeting, or Sunday dinner. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 6/10
Nathalie Lorson created this in 2006 for Lalique, a nearly forgotten jewel labeled unisex but launched as feminine. It has character and personality, leans masculine, and makes the rose note grow until it blinds me. Perles is all about contrasts: it opens with a cold, austere, slightly powdery, and peppery rose due to the iris. The dry down is rare and humid (thanks to vetiver) and within minutes mutates into a bomb of dry, camphorated, mentholated patchouli that clings to the rose. It’s a rose-patchouli-camphor combo that reminds me of Midnight Poison but without the dark side or sweetness. It goes from humid to dry quickly, very white and cold but enjoyable. On the dry down, it gives Kashmir wood and Iso E Super, a woody and earthy tone. It makes perfect chemistry with my skin, works in heat or cold, has moderate projection but is present, and has good longevity. An olfactory jewel I recommend, although I know it’s not for everyone.
I read wonderful reviews and, since I couldn’t find it in stores, I bought it online at a good price. The moment I opened it, I knew it wasn’t for me: I can’t stand it. The first thing I notice is the overwhelming woody notes, which block everything else: no rose, no iris, nothing. Something similar happened with La Panthere; the wood just covers everything. What a pity.
@Unayza, where are you from? Maybe you could think about selling it =)
Finally someone said it: I also get a Vicks vapor when I smell it; it’s pure medicinal camphor. You got lucky catching a tester, because I went to El Corte Inglés and couldn’t find it. If I’d smelled it before, I never would have bought it, and I still don’t get its appeal. But in the end, it’s all chemistry and personal taste.
What a curious perfume. On my skin, it reminded me exactly of the smell of baptismal fonts filled with holy water in churches. It’s a salty, sweaty scent. Very strange. I’ve tried so hard, but on my skin, it just doesn’t smell good.
I thought about buying it blind a thousand times for the price and because it seemed like a substitute for Midnight Poison, that discontinued holy grail. I never saw a tester until I casually spotted it at El Corte Inglés and took a brutal hit; the note combination smells exactly like Vicks Vapor Rub, period. If that’s what Midnight Poison smells like, then… never mind.
I bought it blindly with high expectations and it was a mistake. Maybe if I didn’t already have Moschino’s Toy Boy, I’d think it was fantastic. They’re very similar, though not identical. The common thread is the central rose: in Toy Boy it’s juicy and fruity thanks to the pear, while in Perles it’s a velvety red rose, dustier and slightly dry—a more mature version. Ultimately, they’re very close, with Toy Boy winning hands down on projection and longevity. Don’t get me wrong, Perles is excellent, elegant, and classic, but perhaps too understated for my taste. The patchouli, which I usually dislike, is beautifully rendered here with a slight camphoraceous touch. The iris, talc, and moss notes aren’t very prominent; they just add a dry woody character to that rose and patchouli blend.
Dry, subtle, neatly dirty, elegant. It’s like broken pencils in a primary school classroom. A dignified, haughty, untouchable rose. A maternal embrace. Silence. Ambient music. A bright, stealthy insect. Serenity. Drugs. White, grayish, sandy. With a chilling intensity, a spicy restraint. Of earth, of nothing, of skin.
Spicy, floral, patchouli, and talc-like. It’s a unique unisex scent. The dry-down is subtle, nothing like the opening, but I love all its phases.
A dry, mature, powdery rose wrapped in a dense cloud of pepper at first, which fades gradually without disappearing. As it dries, it leaves a Kashmir wood that makes it woody and sometimes earthy due to the iris. But watch out, from start to finish it’s hypnotized by patchouli, which underlies everything. I confess that when I bought it a little over a year ago, I didn’t like it, but with time and wearing it several times, I’ve grown to love it. It projects a ton and lasts about eight hours.
I read all the reviews and deduced it was an excellent, characterful perfume. I bought it online and received it today. It’s different, sure, but nothing more than Ted Lapidus’s Orissina Decime, which costs a quarter of the price and I think lasts longer.
I just bought it heavily discounted on Notino and already tried it. I love it; it smells unisex. It’s a delight. At first, it’s very patchouli-forward, rich and delicious, then it becomes subtle but still present, giving way to a powdery, woody rose. It’s so refined. I’m keeping it in my collection because you never know with reformulations, so I’ll buy more as a backup.
I love it. It’s unique, fresh, and cool. I feel clean. I’ve read amazing reviews, and honestly, they explained it perfectly—it’s a delight.
I own Dior’s Midnight Poison and this smells exactly the same—no difference at all. The only thing is that this one is easy to find, whereas Poison is insanely expensive on the secondhand market and isn’t worth it unless you’re a bottle collector. I’ve tested them side by side. It’s a super dark scent; I’m surprised by the white bottle with the name ‘Perles’. It smells like a lost night forest, lit only by the moon, surrounded by roses, patchouli, and oakmoss. It’s luxurious, refined, and uncommon—nothing gourmand or vanilla, which is trendy right now. Incredible, purely autumnal. Lasts about 5 hours with moderate sillage. Bottled luxury.
I don’t get why everyone loves it so much; it smells like pure camphor. A total letdown.
Amazing perfume. At first, it smells a bit strange if you don’t know it, but once it dries down, it becomes super cozy, elegant, and woody. I love it. It’s very similar to YSL’s Elle and almost identical to Moschino’s Toy Boy.
Cold, dusty rose, very far from those girly floral scents. These are distant roses, but subtle and elegant.
Three things made me choose it: perfumer Nathalie Lorson, my favorite noses; the minimalist and beautiful Lalique bottles; and the name ‘Perles’. I gave it several tries, but it just wasn’t for me. At first, it smells like aged rose, herbal, and fortified wine, but then it seems to turn into an intense bugleweed scent while the rose fades away. A friend bought it, and I hope it develops better on her.
Unique and very feminine. I owe a review to Lalique’s Perles. I’ve been following it for a while without trying it until a fellow user encouraged me. Over time, you learn to recognize the children of Lorson and their worth. For me, Iso E Super drains the power and masks the wood, as happens with Terre d’Hermes or Encre Noir. However, I notice a very well-crafted rose that lasts, wrapped in a spiced iris at first and very powdery afterward. There’s a bit of patchouli that adds body without being overwhelming. That Iso E Super clouds my vision but lends seriousness. The name fits perfectly: distant, subtle, elegant roses. Very serious, far from anything sweet or baroque. It’s not for the ‘girly girl’ crowd, but not just for older folks either. Good value for the price, though the longevity is shorter than expected. I like it and recommend giving it a try, even if it’s not popular.
The opening rose is deceptive; it’s more original than it seems. The woody touch gives it a vintage vibe, along with the powdery iris, reminiscent of old cosmetics. I’ll definitely wear this more in autumn and winter than in spring.
You’re the sister of YSL Midnight with those balsamic, cold, nocturnal notes, and of Moschino Toy Boy with its woody rose, as if carved from shavings of 80s pencils. It takes a while to unfold, which I didn’t expect. You’ll stay with me, and I’ll enjoy you as much as your siblings.
I had huge expectations and I do like it, but the longevity disappointed me. On my skin, it barely lasts; as soon as I apply it, I can’t smell it anymore. The scent is exquisite, so I’ll let it rest for a while and hope it improves.
What a beauty! I hope they keep making perfumes like this. Totally unique and enigmatic.
Perles and the original Eau de Orlane are my two favorites. They’re simple yet unforgettable, fresh, and complex enough to avoid feeling one-dimensional. I absolutely love them!
What a treat! Perles has character: a delicate rose with iris, wrapped in patchouli and pepper. It’s powdery yet punchy thanks to the spices and woods. Perfect balance: the woods don’t overwhelm the florals, and the spices add flair without getting heavy. It reminds me a lot of Midnight Poison; this is the more mature, serious side that keeps distance, while the other is sweet and inviting. Medium projection that softens over time. Totally unisex today.
The bottle is minimalist, pretty, and clean, though you can tell the liquid level. It smells of rose and iris with green notes that I love, but the civet is strong and I don’t really like it. It doesn’t project much on my skin due to saturation, but others notice it; it lasts longer on clothes if reapplied every three hours.
