Paloma Picasso scores 88% against La Perla overall — scored twice, once on the opening and once on the dry-down, because a scent rarely stays still on skin.
The two phases agree: Paloma Picasso tracks La Perla about as closely in the first minutes as it does hours later, so what you smell on the strip is a fair guide to what you get on skin.
Both are built on warm spicy, floral, woody and aromatic. La Perla adds amber and citrus that Paloma Picasso does not. Paloma Picasso brings musky and powdery of its own.

Paloma Picasso is not the cheaper bottle here: the estimates put it at about $95 against $35 for La Perla. It is on this list because of how it smells, not what it costs.
A heavy-hitting retro masterpiece that shares the same intense carnation, honey, and oakmoss depth found in La Perla.
