Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Belle de Jour smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is chosen least. It suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Half of the voters read it as feminine, followed by modern and classic.
Pear and rose run together, with woody notes supporting them from behind. The fresh, floral side is softened by a fruity sweetness, and a creamy texture sits in between.
