    What do reviewers say about Maxima Icon and La Vie Est Belle?

    If you're looking for a quiet floral, Maxima Icon will catch you off guard. The mineral-salty character in the heart is unusual for an amber-leather fragrance. Warm finish, though.Maxima Icon
    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
