What do reviewers say about Her Secret Flame and La Vie Est Belle?
Her Secret Flame doesn't announce itself. It lingers instead, the kind of presence that registers after someone's left the room. The rose-jasmine heart keeps it feminine without being precious.Her Secret Flame
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
