What do reviewers say about La Belle Helene and Chameleon?
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
Chameleon earns its name by refusing to stay in one place. The tropical opening is genuine, not synthetic, and the coconut in the heart prevents it from turning into generic beach scent.Chameleon
