What do reviewers say about Venice Noir and La Vie Est Belle?
Venice Noir delivers a floral spicy opening that quickly warms into amber and vanilla. It projects well for the first few hours and fades to a skin-close musk and cashmere wood finish.Venice Noir
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
