La Perla My Day is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Dominique Preyssas. My Day opens with Carrot Seeds, Bergamot, Neroli, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. La Perla's My Day carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive scent; some rave about its ethereal clean, others smell only a powdery, old-fashioned vibe. It's an earthy, musky iris with a delicate elegance, but certainly not for everyone.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its soft and clean profile makes it an excellent choice for casual wear and the office, as it's unlikely to offend. While elegant enough for some formal settings, its intimate projection means it's less suited for energetic activities or making a bold statement on a date.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

My Day opens with a soft, fresh burst of tangerine and bergamot, spiced gently by pink pepper and the unexpected, earthy nuance of carrot seeds. The heart unfolds into a refined bouquet of iris and orris, lending a deeply powdery and slightly vegetal character, while jasmine and osmanthus add a touch of creamy floralcy. It settles into a warm, comforting base of cashmere wood, vetiver, and a subtle sweetness from tonka, anchored by smooth sandalwood.
