The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 and created by perfumers Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant, La Belle Le Parfum is an opulent flanker to Jean Paul Gaultier's original La Belle. This Oriental Vanilla fragrance leans into a gourmand oriental profile with top notes of pear, middle notes of tonka bean and jasmine, and a base note of vanilla. It has garnered significant attention for its strong longevity, often lasting 10-12 hours or more. However, it's also criticized by some as overly sweet and cloying, appealing more to an older audience with a taste for luxury.
Given its strong sweetness and longevity, one or two sprays are sufficient. It's best worn in cooler weather or indoors to prevent overwhelming others. The fragrance blooms close to skin, so apply it directly on pulse points for a more intimate wear.
