Which Should You Buy?
A luscious, sophisticated twist on the La Vie est Belle DNA - an indulgently fruity elixir with creamy gourmand depth and a plush rose heart. Perfect for those who crave a sweet signature with a grown up edge.
Kintsugi is a love-it-or-hate-it scent - a bold, shape-shifting fragrance that some find exhilaratingly complex and others, frankly, a bit of a challenging mess. It's truly not for everyone, but if you're after something really different, it might just be your next obsession.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rich fruity sweetness and deep gourmand undertones make this a strong fit for fall and winter, but uplifting raspberry and bergamot allow it to shine in spring's transitional weather. It may feel a bit dense for the hottest summer days.
Occasions
Its bold, sweet and sensual profile is perfect for romantic dates and evenings out. While vibrant and inviting for casual wear, it may be overpowering for the office or sporty scenarios.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With significant projection and longevity, Kintsugi is too potent for most office environments. It shines in more intimate or formal settings, where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others. Its complexity makes it less suited for casual, everyday wear or active sport.
