La Belle Helene, created by Bertrand Duchaufour and launched in 2011, is a chypre fruity fragrance that balances vibrant fruit notes with rich florals and warm woods. The opening of pear and tangerine gives way to linden blossom and aldehydes, creating an effervescent freshness that contrasts beautifully with the powdery heart of osmanthus, iris, mirabelle, and ylang-ylang. As it settles into a base of oak moss, sandalwood, licorice, musk, myrrh, vetiver, amber, virginia cedar, and patchouli, La Belle Helene evolves into a sophisticated and enveloping scent that feels both lasting and fresh.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum longevity. The fruity and floral top notes are most impactful within the first hour, while the woody base continues to develop throughout the day. For a more subtle effect, use one spray on each wrist and let it settle before applying.

The story behind the bottle.
The crispness of a late afternoon in a sunlit garden, where the warmth of blooming flowers is balanced by the fresh scent of ripe fruit.
