La Vie Est Belle Soleil Crystal

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, creamy and sweet, with a suncream quality.

It opens on mandarin orange, pink pepper and bergamot, moves through ylang-ylang, iris and orange blossom, and settles on coconut, vanilla and patchouli.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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