What do reviewers say about Scandal and La Vie Est Belle?
Honey does what honey does: announces itself and stays. Some call that bold. Others call it too much. The real question is whether you want a fragrance that lingers in the room after you've left it.Scandal
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
