What does La Belle Saison (2020) smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it sits fairly close to the skin with a steady trail. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. It suits daily wear, leisure and the office, and works in the evening too. It reads mostly feminine, with a classic leaning.
It opens with pink pepper and apricot blossom, lightly spiced and fruity. The heart gathers lily of the valley, orange blossom and mimosa into a powdery bouquet. Musk, labdanum and sandalwood close it out in a creamy, woody softness.
