What does Belle de Soleil smell like?

The top is lemon, orange, petitgrain and bergamot, giving a fresh, green and slightly fruity start. In the heart, frangipani, jasmine and tiaré turn the floral side creamy and sweet. Vetiver, benzoin and musk in the base settle that sweetness onto a soft, warm ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for business and evening. It reads as feminine, with some voters also calling it modern or classic.
