What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Proud?
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
The lilac-peach heart division will split opinions; some find it unexpectedly romantic, others too sweet. That warm cedarwood and patchouli backbone saves it, making Proud wearable from first spray.Proud
