Belle For Women

Belle chases Calvin Klein Beauty, the clean, minimal musky jasmine built for the working day. It opens with a soft, slightly spicy ambrette before the star of the show arrives: a bright, clear jasmine, paired with star jasmine for that in-bloom realism, with none of the indolic funk - clear as a bell, just like the original. Underneath, a warm virginia cedar and clean musk give a soapy, refined finish. Compared with the Calvin Klein, this version pushes the jasmine a touch louder while the polished ambrette-musk surround reads a little simpler, and the linear elegance of the original loses a shade of its expensive smoothness. Longevity is moderate. A clean, elegant white-floral for daytime and the office that captures the soapy-jasmine signature at a budget price.
