The strong fruity and amber accords, particularly with the rumoured leather note, make this more suitable for evening or special occasions than a professional office setting. It's a confident, attention-grabbing scent perfect for a date night or formal event, but perhaps a bit much for casual wear.

About

Belle de Jour opens with a mouth-watering burst of blackcurrant and succulent papaya, brightened by a hint of bergamot. This vibrant fruitiness soon mellows into a heart of lush tuberose and delicate osmanthus, lending a creamy, exotic floralcy. The base grounds the sweetness with warm amber and smooth vanilla, while an unexpected undercurrent of patchouli gives it an intriguing depth.
