PowderyWhat does Belle Hélène smell like?
It opens fruity and citrusy with pear and lemon zest. In the heart, chocolate syrup, roasted almond and Bourbon vanilla lead, pulling the scent towards a creamy, powdery sweetness. Cedarwood, white musk and cognac form a woody, lightly spicy base.
Its longevity is rated as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, with a sweet, gourmand character. Zara Vanilla and The Dua Brand French Pear Dessert share a close profile.
