Beautiful with edges
After I've been lurking around for a long time now, spurred on by all the adulation in forums and on YouTube, you've also moved in with me. The price was unbeatable & I now just wanted to know what all the hype is about. And I can understand the hype.
To this day, I still remember very well from childhood days a neighbor who had the Classique as a signature at the time and you always knew when she had walked through the stairwell. Classique really filled the whole stairwell with its sillage ? to the chagrin of my mother, who found the scent just awful. I too found it far too sweet at the time, but I was still a small child and my nose is of course a different one today.
Why do I tell this? Because La Belle immediately reminded me of it, already when I took the bottle out of the can, this sweet vanilla so typical for Gaultier came towards me & I had no doubt, it could only be a Gaultier, and it was my first own Gaultier.
Immediately the first smell at the bottle without that I had already sprayed, I liked. Of course, immediately applied, very carefully, as I knew about the potency of the fragrance.
He is really very strong in the opening, almost slays me a bit. I have to take a little breath to get involved in the fragrance.
The pear I perceive very strongly, as well as vanilla and it really smells like a pear vanilla dessert. An absolute fall & winter scent in my opinion.
So then a little worn with another careful spray on the collarbone, I did not dare more for now. So I went shopping then and let the fragrance work on me.
He is me contrary to expectations not too sweet, although I had a little concern there. That I can but quite off. But something is there, what tingles me in the nose, a corner or edge that sticks out there. Actually, I always find such corners in fragrances interesting, but in this case I'm sorry to say that it bothers me.
It's either the pear or the vetiver, both notes that were also in my beloved Idole d'Armani and which I was actually sure I would like, since I adored that scent. Strictly speaking, the vetiver also still motivated me to buy.
Therefore, the more I think about it, the more I am inclined to think that it must actually be the pear. Similar experience I had namely with Roberto Cavalli Gemma di Paradiso, with which I did not get along at all.
Unfortunately, it is also so disturbing for me with La Belle that I think with a heavy heart, she will not move in with me.
But I must also say fair to the fact that I had ordered at the same time Loverdose Red Kiss by Diesel, which has completely blown me away, as well as my husband. So we both had the direct comparison between La Belle and Red Kiss. We both liked La Belle spontaneously, but we agreed that Red Kiss we like much better (even though of course these are two completely different fragrances, only from the sweetness I think they are comparable).
So I was probably not pure of heart and had thus already lost my heart to Red Kiss.
The me disturbing note I had unfortunately also the whole evening in the nose. The warm, vanilla residue, which I could still perceive the next morning on my T shirt, made me the decision really harder, but ultimately I decided for Red Kiss and against La Belle. The la Belle le parfum still kind of appeals to me though, are they very similar? La Belle le parfum is supposed to be the more grown up, more reserved, better blended sister....
