Our take

Davana gives Let The Dance Begin its first move, bringing a bitter-fruity lift to the bright rush of bergamot, orange, neroli, cardamom, and pepper. The opening feels animated and textured, with fresh spice flickering across the citrus before cinnamon begins to warm the scene. La Perla keeps the composition polished, yet there is enough aromatic bite to stop it from feeling overly smooth.

The heart turns plush. Caramel folds around tuberose, Damask rose, ylang-ylang, and geranium, creating a floral warmth with a soft, powdery edge. Picture a velvet jacket brushed by sparks from a nearby fire, elegant but charged. Patchouli gives the sweetness a darker grain, while tonka bean, cedar, cashmeran, and sandalwood build a woody base with a balsamic, gently ambered feel.

Let The Dance Begin is long-lasting, and its presence forms a modest bubble around the wearer. It has the kind of projection that works well in close conversation, where the cinnamon, caramel, and woods can be noticed without taking over the room. The scent feels especially at home in autumn and winter, with enough richness for evening dinners, dressed-up gatherings, and intimate indoor settings. Its unisex character leans warm and expressive, making it an appealing choice for someone who enjoys spicy florals with a sweet, polished finish. Dominique Preyssas’s composition leaves the final impression on a smooth sandalwood and patchouli trail, with the earlier citrus sparkle transformed into something deeper and more theatrical.
