Sonia Rykiel Le is a Parfum launched in 1993, created by Richard Ibanez. Le opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mimosa, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Sonia Rykiel's Le carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This Rikyiel scent is divisive; some adore its rich, cognac-like facets, while others find its intensity suffocating and 'old-fashioned.' It's a statement scent, clearly not for those who prefer understated fragrances.

About

Le Parfum opens with a sharp, fruity burst of peach, raspberry, and passionfruit, lifted by aldehydes and a hint of hinoki wood. The heart reveals a boozy, honeyed floral blend dominated by osmanthus, rose, and carnation, evoking a sweet liquor. It mellows into a deep, resiny base of amber, styrax, and oakmoss, with warm vanilla and tonka bean adding a creamy, woody richness.
