Houbigant La Belle Saison is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Céline Ellena. La Belle Saison opens with Apricot Blossom and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lily Of The Valley, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Labdanum. Houbigant's La Belle Saison carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This springtime floral is a divisive one; some find it a gorgeous, sunny yellow floral, while others are utterly repulsed by what they perceive as a medicinal, green assault. Sample first unless you're a devout mimosa maniac, or risk scrubbing.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and emphasis on sweet white and yellow florals make it suitable for casual wear or dates where a charming, approachable scent is desired. While it can be worn in an office setting, some found it 'loud' initially, so use a light hand. Full-on formal events or sports aren't its strong suit.

About

La Belle Saison opens with a hint of spicy pink pepper over the sweet blush of apricot blossom, quickly blooming into a grand floral heart. Mimosa takes centre stage with its fluffy, pollen-rich sweetness, supported by the delicate freshness of lily of the valley and the honeyed notes of orange blossom. The dry down settles into a soft, musky embrace with the warm resinous touch of labdanum and creamy sandalwood.
