La Belle Eau de Parfum combines green pear and bergamot with warm vanilla; Gaultier also describes a vetiver accent. Pear makes it juicy, and vetiver gives the vanilla an earthy floor so it doesn't drift into candy. La Belle Le Parfum, Paradise Garden, Flower Edition and Rosea are different.
What Wearers Say
Some wearers enjoy the rich pear-and-vanilla combination.
One wearer likes the shift from juicy pear and bergamot into warm vanilla and vetiver.
Some wearers find it too sweet or syrupy.
One wearer likes the pear opening but finds it fades into a less interesting floral-citrus scent.
Another finds the scent reminiscent of cough syrup.
Great for
Try it if you enjoy rich pear and vanilla rather than a crisp, light fruit scent.
Not for
Sample first if syrupy fruit or dense sweetness puts you off, or if you want the pear to remain prominent.
