Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Flower Edition Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Eau Fraiche Amber and sandalwood ground it

Amber and sandalwood ground it in the base

Amalfi opens with neroli and mandarin — the Mediterranean version

250ml shower gel and matching lotion

almost paper-dry accord before the woody heart settles in — less incense-heavy than most oud fragrances

not the one you wear to convince yourself you're older than you are

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Flower Edition Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Eau Fraiche Amber and sandalwood ground itAlmond is the headline here that warm, almost creamy note that sits front and centre before the florals arrive. Rose and violet come next, softened with a touch of coconut milk so the whole thing reads rounded rather than sharp. EDP for her, 100ml. Three sprays in the morning settle into a skin scent by evening; reapply mid afternoon if you want the almond to come back. Skip this if you prefer your florals bone dry.
