Fragrance Notes
La Belle le Parfum
Pear leads Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle le Parfum Eau de Parfum, ripe and juicy, with a cool aquatic clarity around it that stops the fruit turning jammy. The sweetness is held back at first and then let through, and what arrives is closer to a dessert than to a fruit.
Vanilla follows at the heart and shifts the whole thing gourmand, sweet and creamy against the fruit. Tonka bean closes it, adding an ambery depth and a soft almond-like warmth that thickens the vanilla and gives the drydown its body. The line runs from fresh fruit through dessert sweetness into warm resin, and the aquatic coolness of the opening thins as it goes, so the fragrance is at its sweetest an hour or two in rather than on the first spray. There is little green or citrus edge to cut it; the composition commits to sweetness and stays there.
La Belle le Parfum arrived in 2021. The house is the Paris label the French couturier Jean Paul Gaultier founded in 1982, and Puig has held its fragrance licence since 1 January 2016.
It is long lasting with strong projection. The fragrance works in all four seasons and comes into its own in autumn and winter, when the tonka and vanilla have the most room, and it suits a night out first, with casual and professional wear well within reach.
