What do reviewers say about La Belle Helene and Amorous Intense?
Bertrand Duchaufour built a chypre around the most elegant pear note in contemporary perfumery, then let osmanthus do the heavy lifting. The people who adore this one don't want to smell like.La Belle Helene
The sweet-fruity opening is a crowd-pleaser. But that rum-ylang-ylang heart? That's where this earns its name. A fragrance that asks something of you.Amorous Intense
