La Belle Saison

by Céline Ellena

Houbigant La Belle Saison is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Céline Ellena. The fragrance opens with Apricot Blossom and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Orange Blossom, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Sandalwood, and Musk.

Our verdict on La Belle Saison: Favourite

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.

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.
