Perle Noire
Avon (1993)

A very good (though old so bitter) fragrance that I'm happy to rediscover. Spices and flowers. Some powder. Original.

Oh happy day I found a nearly empty sample vial of this way in back of old drawer I opened and was transported back to the wild dating scene at my first junior college...this must have been the 80s maybe early 90s. Nice rose-spice scent that lasts all day with a small amount. It smells a lot like Black Pearls but without the chemical note that I usually get from BP.

How I ended up with this sample I'll never know, but it's actually a worth while scent! Right along side Opium, Cinnabar & KL, Perle noire is a nicely spiced floral. Rich essences of clove, carnation, and possibly bulgarian rose produce remarkable sillage, especially suprising for an Avon EDT! Given it's general feel, I would presume it was marketed in the 1970's into the early 80's. A retro treasure for sure!
