What does Belle Isabelle (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

The opening of blackcurrant, Sicilian mandarin orange and mirabelle plum is green and fruity. Jasmine, rose and South African tagetes form a floral heart, and patchouli, amber and Bourbon vanilla carry the scent down into a sweet, powdery, creamy and earthy base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters don't tie it to one time of day: leisure, daytime, business and evening are spread almost evenly, with night out close behind. The vote count is small, so these impressions are tentative. Jean Patou L'Heure Attendue and Manish Arora Ready To Love - Intense Red have a close profile.
