My Day
Fragrance notes
Character
My Day by La Perla opens with a surprising twist of carrot seed and pink pepper, a vegetal crunch that quickly softens into a sunlit pile of tangerine and neroli. The heart is where this fragrance truly lives: a dense, almost dusty bouquet of orris, jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, with star anise adding a faint root beer fizz at the edges. It feels like pressing your nose into a handful of dried petals from an old sachet, powdery and slightly sweet, with a whisper of clean earth from the carrot seed lingering underneath.
The drydown is all iris and cashmere wood, soft as brushed suede, with tonka and sandalwood keeping things warm but never syrupy. This is not a loud scent. With a sillage rating barely above 2, it sits close to the skin, a private cloud of powder and white florals that fades within a few hours. If you want a room-filling statement, look elsewhere. But for someone who treasures intimacy over impact, who wants a fragrance that feels like a cashmere sweater on a crisp spring afternoon, this works beautifully. Wear it to a quiet brunch, a solo museum visit, or any day that asks for comfort rather than attention. Skip it if you crave projection or gourmand sweetness. My Day is a stolen second, not a shouted announcement.
