GrigioPerla (1991)
by La Perla

Great cologne, very well balanced, classy, elegant yet versatile. Hard to find but definetely not discontinued. Available in any La perla boutique. It does have some similarities with Drakkar noir and in my opinion with Animale for man, just more refined. I like the glass bottle too!

Thumbs up ! Its green & fresh and leaves you wanting more & more ,, I believe its longevity was its demise ,, A concentree would be most welcome ,, I use it for intimacy rather than day long projection/attention .

On paper, but only on paper Grigio Perla performs beautifully for me—it is rich and deep, broad spectrumed and refined. The reaction on my skin is another story—it gives me nothing but a “cologny” basil sharpness and an extremely diminished performance compared to its performance on paper. The basil dominates the opening with a strongly herbal and weakly spicy background; Basil can contribute a lot to a potent “cologne” effect if it is not used carefully and in conjunction with mitigating partners. I find the basil in Grigio Perla excessive, in fact, I don’t lose it until the drydown, so the middle to me is simply a green extension of the green opening—again, the middle, also, seems to be too cologny. I don’t find anything special in the drydown—the wood notes seem to dominate and I get a definite moss from it, but in all, the dry down is mediocre. The fragrance’s performance on my skin is too sharp and one-dimensional: very little depth or breadth to it. Probably chemistry...

Seeping from its black container, a fairly sharp green opening. The best is yet to come: green turns to smooth and distinguished grey, velvety and soapy. Another fine Italian gentleman.

Buy this now!! This stuff is so sexy, somewhat similar to Drakkar, but darker and sexier. I bought blind due to reviews and love it so much, it is such a deep and lasting sexy scent, you will love it!!

WHat an incredible fragrance this is!! This doesn't smell like anything on the market today. Whenever I wear this it turns heads and people are always asking what Im wearing. Very hard to find these days!
