Review of La Belle by Sarah Chabal

Sweet, warm, fruity, juicy, bright, aquatic, fresh, powdery, aromatic, woody, floral, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, classy, elegant, chic, charming, whimsical, enchanting, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens fruity and fresh with juicy and syrupy sweet pear and bright bergamot. As it starts drying down the fruity notes are joined by soft florals and aromatic leather on a bed of powdery vanilla, earthy and woody vetiver, the golden warmth of amber, and soft, powdery musk. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the pear, vanilla, amber, and vetiver. This has always strongly reminded me of Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar (one of my top favorites), and even somewhat of The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods (another favorite of mine), and SDJ 40. I really enjoy JPG fragrances as well, and have several in my collection… La Belle, La Belle Flower Edition, Classique (OG lace corset bottle), Classique X, and Classique Pin Up. To me this feels feminine, and like it would suit women of any age. It would make a lovely signature scent. I think it’s most fitting for the fall and winter, or maybe as a nighttime scent during warmer weather. It also feels suitable for any occasion, from casual to fancy. I get great performance with La Belle. The longevity is very good, it lasts throughout the entire day on me. The projection is really nice, it radiates out at least a few feet from me.
