Belle en Rykiel Eau de Toilette

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 01:51:48 +0100

While the eau de parfum flaunts an aromatic-oriental composition, the eau de toilette is described as a ‘fresh and sparkling, woodsy-fruity floral’, although the original’s notes of lavender and frankincense are still there in the background. The top note is a real fruit cocktail: lemon, green apple, bergamot and yuzu. The heart is a candid, slightly damp bouquet of rose, lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom and lavender. The sensually sheer base note intertwines patchouli, amber, frankincense and musk.

Described as an aromatic Oriental, Belle en Rykiel unveils a frankincense-and-lavender accord, with a stunning, femininity composed of equal parts of darkness and light. Mouthwatering notes of red currant and coffee-blossom, the sweetness of heliotrope and vanilla, the refinement of patchouli and mahogany make the fragrance carnal and unctuous. Fragrance designer: Jean Pierre Bethouart, Firmenich.

A skin scent, revisiting the eau de parfum’s trail. Opening with sparkling yuzu and the fresh grape of Champagne bubbles. A heart of Bulgarian rose and Yohimbe wood. Closing with Siamese benzoin absolute and heliotrope blossom. Sweet and… sexy.

A warm, sweet note dominates the heart of the juice. The note is a blend of tropical dates, solar flowers and violet. After the spicy, milky opening notes, a breath of warm, powdery air wafts through the flowery heart. The sensual finish is a bewitchingly mild herbal musk with a leather trail.

The sensual fragrance dreamt up by Edouard Fléchier (MAN) starts off with tart, green notes, as mild as star anise and as bold as green apple. The warmer middle notes are a reassuringly refined mix of spices and rosewood. It comes to a sophisticated finish thanks to sandalwood, musk and tonka bean.

The basic accord is flowery rose, woody and amber-scented. Bulgarian and Turkish roses evoke gentle feminine charm, subsequently enhanced with freesia, lotus, hawthorn and peony.A heady trio of sandalwood, white musk and amber puts a fine finishing touch of dizzy sensuality.

Both fragrances release a fruity citrus top note. The Eau has more juice, with grapefruit and lemon, softened by a hint of Mediterranean cypress.So subtle lotus flower and morning jasmine: the floral notes are wrapped in foliage, translucent and sensitive.The mouth-watering tone gives way to the delicacy of thoroughly dried Atlas cedar and powdery iris root with a hue of heliotrope for a gentle touch.

The formula is based on three basic concepts interwoven like a fabric: sparkle, softness and voluptuousness.
Fruits for sparkle: blackcurrant, bubbling and exciting passion fruit; juicy, smooth pineapple; mandarin as round as the sun, and cardamom.
For softness, petals of honeysuckle, velvet rose with the taste of muscat, lily of the valley, crystallized violet, and cyclamen.
For voluptuousness, wood and cake-spices: sandalwood, cedar and patchouli for depth;Cinnamon, vanilla, Tonka and caramel caress the skin; amber and musk add a carnal touch.
