What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Sensuelle?
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 licorice root note is what separates Sensuelle from every other powdery rose in the rack. Either it hooks you immediately, that unexpected cool bite against the florals.Sensuelle
