At its best in Spring and Summer — a daytime scent.
Once Upon A Garden by La Perla is a Floral Green fragrance for women and men. Once Upon A Garden was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Caroline Dumur. Top notes are Mint, Pink Pepper and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Sweet Pea, Rose and Raspberry Leaf; base notes are Moss, Patchouli and Ambertonic. "Once Upon A Garden transports you to that idyllic summer, full of youthful exuberance and anticipation for what adventures lie ahead. You're drawn into the heat of the summer night, with the feel of a cool breeze against your skin. The seclusion of the fragrant, flowering sweet pea holds your secret – an innocent first kiss. Is it a memory or a dream? A delicately balanced, enduring scent, this fragrance wraps you in the sensuality that exists at twilight. As a crisp breeze ushers you into the beauty of the night, the freshness of spearmint blends with vivid mandarin and pink pepper, punctuating the floral haze of raspberry leaf and ingenuous sweet pea at the heart of the reverie. The woodiness of earthy moss and patchouli grounds you, with a lingering trail that is curious and lush, a garden path leading you through a dream. Once Upon A Garden is presented in a midnight blue bottle, reminiscent of a forbidden midnight tryst, while the pink cap represents the delicate sweet pea at the heart of this youthful fragrance. We designed our luxuriously crafted flacon to be refillable so that you can replenish your scent as often as you like while treasuring your original heavy glass bottle forever." - a note from the brand. "I created Once Upon A Garden to encapsulate the earthy pleasures of nature's wonderland. It's at once innocent and subversive, an olfactive game of moonlight and long shadows. Crisp spearmint contrasts with sweet raspberry leaf and timeless rose. Green mossy accents echo walking barefoot on summer nights, the air warm and senses heightened. It's a budding romance through the feminine gaze."- Caroline Dumur Once Upon A Garden is available as a 30ml Eau de Parfum and 120ml Eau de Parfum from late May 2021.
