La Belle

La Belle, inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle (2019)

La Belle leads with pear, fresh and fruity, lifted by bergamot. Vanilla shows up early and runs through the entire scent like a thread. Vetiver keeps it from collapsing into pure dessert, adding a dry, grassy woodiness, and the trail settles on what Gaultier calls a green amber. Launch coverage likened the drydown to suede.

About the original

Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant composed La Belle, which Jean Paul Gaultier launched in July 2019 together with the men's Le Beau. The pair were framed as offshoots of Classique and Le Male, and launch coverage cites a vanilla dessert and the forbidden fruit of Eden as inspirations. Flankers since then include La Belle Le Parfum and Fleur Terrible.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Jean Paul Gaultier stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Fans of vanilla who want a little fruit and freshness will get on with it best. It is clearly sweet, with vetiver adding some dryness underneath. The pear opening is prominent, which matters if fruity gourmands are not your style.
