La Perla Once Upon A Garden Eau de Parfum 120ml is a luminous green-floral unisex fragrance from La Perla Beauty's signature line, launched in 2021 and composed by Firmenich perfumer Caroline Dumur. Mint, pink pepper and mandarin open the bottle on a fresh, slightly tart lift, sweet pea, rose and raspberry leaf shape a delicate floral heart, and a base of moss, patchouli and Ambertonic gives the composition modern depth.
About La Perla Beauty
La Perla is the Italian luxury house founded in Bologna in 1954 by Ada Masotti, internationally known for its couture lingerie. La Perla Beauty extended the brand into fragrance, make-up and bodycare with a focus on lingerie-inspired textures and clean formulation. The 120ml Eau de Parfum is presented in the brand's sculptural refillable flacon, designed as a vanity-table object as much as a fragrance.

The story behind Once Upon A Garden
The fragrance is conceived as a "story-time" walk through a slightly fairytale English garden — fresh herbs, dewy florals and woody-mossy undergrowth woven into a single composition. The mint and pink pepper opening adds an unexpected lift, the raspberry leaf in the heart is a green-fruity nuance rarely seen in mainstream perfumery, and the Ambertonic-and-patchouli base gives the fragrance modern, slightly powdery depth.
Who it's for
Best for those drawn to fresh green-floral perfumery — natural territory for fans of Hermès Un Jardin sur le Nil, Diptyque Eau Rose or Chloé Eau de Parfum. Genuinely unisex thanks to the moss-and-patchouli drydown; the mint-and-mandarin opening keeps it bright and crisp. A versatile signature for spring, summer and warm autumn wear; the 120ml refillable bottle is designed for everyday use over a long period.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Parfum, expect moderate-to-strong projection in the first one to two hours and a soft, polished green-floral skin scent for six to eight hours. Refill the flacon when empty using La Perla's matching refill cartridge.
