What do reviewers say about Black Star Her and La Vie Est Belle?
If you're looking for darkness that doesn't announce itself, look away. This one opens fruity and flirty, then settles into something warm and slightly dangerous, praline, cocoa.Black Star Her
This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
