Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Belle EDP
Lusciously sweet and inviting, La Belle EDP is a statement gourmand that seduces with ripe pear, creamy vanilla, and a plush, enveloping warmth. Loud, addictive, and completely unforgettable.
Statement
Our Verdict - 472 La Belle EDP
No.472 mirrors JPG La Belle's pear-and-vanilla gourmand core convincingly at first spray, but the leather-rose heart is much fainter here, so the fragrance reads sweeter and simpler with none of the original's smoky contrast.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Belle

Seasons

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold sweetness and projection make it best for dates, nights out, and special occasions. For the office or formal events, it works if applied lightly, but it's generally too much for sporty or active settings.
