What do reviewers say about Pleats Please L’Elixir and La Vie Est Belle?
This is basically a fancy department store pear. Not an insult, if you want an inoffensive, pleasant fruity scent without trying hard, this delivers. The drydown is sweet and cozy.Pleats Please L’Elixir
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
