Belle Fleur For Women

Belle Fleur opens on a juicy, ripe apricot - sweet and slightly jammy, the standout note JPG's La Belle Flower Edition is built around. It blooms into a soft floral heart of magnolia, jasmine and osmanthus that adds a fruity-floral femininity, the osmanthus lending a faintly powdery, apricot-skin nuance. The drydown is the comforting part: a warm, creamy vanilla wrapped in a clean patchouli and a touch of vetiver, cosy and rounded. As a dupe it tracks the original closely but reads a shade simpler - the apricot pushes a bit louder and sweeter, the florals sit flatter, and the refined creaminess of the vanilla base is a touch less nuanced. Longevity is good for a budget fruity floral, holding through the day, with friendly projection. A cheerful, romantic apricot-vanilla scent for warm-weather daytime and easy dates at a budget price.
