What do reviewers say about Boyfriend and La Vie Est Belle?
Plum and benzoin don't often share a stage, but here they hold the whole show. If you've ever loved a fragrance that felt like someone's collar, like warmth you didn't create, this is the one.Boyfriend
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
