Belle Noir

This smells amazing. It's really good for going out at night.

Are the notes above correct? I've read on a few other sights the top note was plum, not pear. Also, that there's No Lily, but Lilly of the Valley and rose in there (Middle Notes) as well. Sandalwood, Almond and Vanilla in the base. Which is correct? (blind buying and just want to be sure). Checked the Chris Adams Website This is how it's listed there; Belle Noir - Pour Femme Her looks are lethal. She dresses to kill. She’s femme fatale. You cannot resist her. A dark and luscious rose lends itself to this mysterious scent of ylang-ylang and tuberose. A dash of orchid entices the senses, and a vanilla and musk add to the sensuality. The flacon is coated in a luxurious black velvet and embellished with rose gold. Fragrance Notes TOP NOTES: Rose, Ylang-ylang, Orange blossom MIDDLE NOTES: Tuberose, Orchid BASE NOTES: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk OLFACTIVE FAMILY: Oriental - Floral

This is more form over substance. Looking like luxury but at two perfumes for 20 pounds I was not expecting too much. The quality of ingredients is poor as longevity is really low. Less than an hour and its gone! All the notes are there as listed, but there is a metallic thin feel to the combination. It starts with an alcoholic burst, then settles to a buttery tuberose floral made sweeter by the ylang-ylang top mixing well with the vanilla base. Short and sweet after it settles down. Promises much but does not deliver for me. Got Belle Noir and the sister one in the Purple packaging. That one is a fruit alcoholic disaster, now serving as a room spray. Wonderful packaging though.

I find it sweet, creamy and very comforting. It's the sort of perfume that is perfect at the end of a busy day to put on after a shower and relax in front if the fire when it's cold outside. It won't ever appear in my top 5 but as a comfort it's perfect.
