Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Paradise Garden

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on blue lotus, moves through iris, and settles on vanilla.

• iris: cool and powdery with a rooty edge. Closer to makeup or clean laundry than to a flower
• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
