What does La Belle smell like?
It lasts strongly and projects strongly, so it stays noticeable on skin for a long time. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and few choose summer. It gets its highest votes for evenings and nights out, with leisure and daily wear also in the mix. Most voters find it feminine, though many call it modern.
Green pear and bergamot give it a fruity freshness, softened by floral notes. Vanilla and amber build a sweet, creamy base, and musk smooths it out. Roasted notes and leather darken the gourmand side, while vetiver leaves a dry tone in the background.
