What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Midnight Bloom?
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 Moon Flower note walks a fine line. Some readers will find it intoxicating. Others will find it strays into skunky territory, that datura edge that reads as pungent rather than pretty.Midnight Bloom
