What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Monodie?
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
Some fragrances play it safe. Monodie doesn't. The rhubarb and galbanum give it an edge that stops it from being just another sweet floral. Glamorous, bold.Monodie
