What do reviewers say about Ode à l'amour and Belle de Nuit?
Choosing Ode à l'amour means wrapping yourself in sweet mirabelle plum, bright blackcurrant, and warm romantic ylang-ylang. It's the 2001 French edit of what love smells like.Ode à l'amour
The dried plum here is the tell. Dark, jammy, it brings a quality rarely found in traditional French florals. This gives the fragrance a character that rewards attention.Belle de Nuit
