Beautiful Belle Love

What a pretty, delicate, feminine perfume this is. I blind bought a full size 3.4oz because I fell for the ad campaign. Call me a sucker for the Bride thing, I'm a romantic at heart. But I really do love this perfume. It is sweet, but not gourmand it is floral but all roses which my husband will love. The orange honey is just divine in this one but I think the sage keeps it from going in the gourmand territory and gives it a slightly herbal quality. This is the type of fragrance that is a workhorse in a collection since it is appropriate for all situations, and events and just everyday wear. You will smell pleasant, pretty, and tasteful. This is a very pretty peach/pink rose of a perfume. Now I remember why I like this perfume so much! It reminds me of a perfume I bought at the Asa Ransom house while on vacation w/ my husband when we were very young. It was their spa perfume. I really loved it and wore it all the time. It was years later when we went back that I asked if they still had it and they did not. This smells very close to that fragrance. Brings back good memories. Edit: 1/14/23 I have smelled a lot more perfumes since I blind bought this little beauty and I tested Love by Killian recently. If you don't want to pay the high price for Killian Love Beautiful Belle Love is a bit cheaper and has that spun sugar sweetness that Love Killian does but Beautiful Belle Love is better. There is so much more going on here that adds richness and depth to this perfume compared to Love Killian. In my opinion Love Killian is a boring type of sweetness and you can get a Jessica Simpson's Fancy (A perfume I have in my collection that is a crowd pleaser and I bought it for that reason.) and get the same caramel vibe w/out the high cost. I think the sage in BBL adds something new and keeps this perfume from becoming just another gourmand. Honey is richer and has more depth than a spun sugar/cotton candy note that is in Killian Love but the honey here is lighter, giving that spun sugar smell. Also, BBL lasts a lot longer and the sillage is massive. Bottles of these are still available on Amazon and Fragrance.net. Fragrance.net has decants as well for $13. Give this a try if you love sweet amber florals that boarder on gourmand. I'm considering a back up, I like this one that much.

This is so nice, both on paper and on my skin! It's so happy - it really smells like being in love. The first spritz is like fresh, juicy lychee (this is weird, and I've been wondering about this - lychee is not a note on this one and I haven't heard anyone mention it) As it dries, it goes warm and sweet - those honey and vanilla notes are like a hot honey cake out of the oven. But somehow, it's not cloying or suffocating. It's lovely! Edit: three months have passed. I wrote this review when the days were never warmer than 20C. Now that it's regularly 30C, I'm not getting any of that fresh lychee burst I loved, and the lovely honey sweetness is nice but I'm just not in the mood for it - think this is very much a winter only frag. I'll come back to you, Love, in April!

I got this somewhat cheaply off ebay and I don't know if it's the time it spent on their shelf macerating...but this is divine. I got it with the thought that Honeyed Almonds sounded like a great scent for the Christmas holidays and it fulfills that role effortlessly. It smells like a the boss's wife in a mink coat offering out champagne . It's the most decadent honeyed Almond that is nearly too much, but pulls back at the right moment. It's maddening this has been discontinued...I might be back on ebay to get even more of it. This is my default "classy evening" perfume until it runs out. I feel bathed in sweet honeyed light. I love you estee lauder t-t

For the 1st time ever I bought a full bottle of perfume based on a magazine insert. I am so glad that I bought it because it is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite scents. It is just the right combination of sweet and rose and patch. At least that's what comes thru on my skin predominantly. This is such a beauty that I can see a young girl wearing this successfully because of the sweetness but also an avid perfume collector or an older person. It's sweet but not juvenile but I do believe in a work for everyone. It's just a gorgeous universal scent and I really cannot think of anything that is similar . The best blind buy ever.

This perfume is beautiful! I sprayed it at Ulta the other day, and I have put it on my wishlist. It’s warm, fruity, and soft. I like it better than Beautiful Belle which is a sharp harsh floral on my skin. Beautiful Belle Love will be perfect for fall and winter because it has a warm cozy feel. It lasted a long time on my hand where I sprayed it-about 6-8 hours. I own a perfume called Dangerous by Sammi Sweetheart, and this reminds me a lot of that because of the warmth, but this one has more dimension with the fruit and floral notes.

Love this flanker from Estée Lauder Beautiful Belle line, unfortunately discontinued. I did find and and rushed to buy it. There’s something almost tropical about this one. Not super strong but very feminine and just perfect for late spring and early summer. Longevity is really good lasts up to 8 hours on me could smell it when I went to bed. Spillage also excellent. Estée Lauder does put out some of the best Department store fragrances around.

Blind buy for me that I was afraid I wouldn’t like if the sage and patchouli were too strong, but this is really beautiful. An almondy fruity floral with some sweetness from honey. Dries down beautifully on my skin. Can be a great everyday anytime scent. Has quickly become one of my go to’s which is saying a lot because I have probably 50 plus bottles in my collection. Blind buy success!!!

This has a little heat in it like the newer Dior fragrances have a little heat in them. But it’s so well-balanced by sage, rose, honey, and iris that it doesn’t settle into being just another scorched gourmand. It doesn’t smell like anything else, but it does aim for market share. It’s distinctive as if to say, “If you like La Vie Est Belle, you’ll love me for me.”

I sampled this before it’s release and I love it, so ambery, almond gourmand, it’s warm and comforting. I can’t wait till I can buy a bottle. I love it better than the original Beautiful Belle. This one is for people who love almond and vanilla gourmand scents. Reminds me a bit of guerlain’s mon exclusif.

Agree this has a lovely (warm) tropical vibe, but today it's 105 the sweetness is a little much. Nicely blended. Looking forward to trying in cooler weather. Love the honey note. For years I wore Guerlain L'Instant for the honey, but became allergic.

I ordered this now‐discontinued bottle of Beautiful Belle Love from eBay, and it arrived today. It’s definitely a departure from the original Beautiful Belle—there’s a touch of that familiar DNA, but only in passing. On my skin, it opens with a soft vanilla and a prominent Bulgarian rose, all wrapped in a sweet blend of vanilla and almond. Even though it’s not listed, I get a distinct white‐chocolate nuance that adds to the sweetness. The sage comes through as well, giving it a little herbal lift. This perfume is very sweet, with a creamy quality that isn’t lactonic but still feels plush. Overall, it’s a strong like for me—beautiful, enjoyable, but not quite a love. In terms of wear, Beautiful Belle Love feels perfect for date nights, running errands, brunch with girlfriends, and casual outings. I wouldn’t choose it for work, church, or tight spaces; the sweetness can be distracting or overwhelming for some. Still, it’s undeniably pretty, bubbly, flirtatious, and feminine. It smells like a woman who’s effortlessly charming and full of sparkle.

I love the entire Beautiful line of perfumes they all smell so good, so when I found this on a online discount store I had to have it. The first spray starts out very pretty with the Orange Honey note and I love Honey in perfume. The middle notes are impressive, sweet vanilla with Rose just lovely. The projection is nice definitely there but not in a over powering way, people enjoy being around you. It lasted all day and that night I did add a spray or two. It's working good in this cooler weather and I wear it day or night a good anytime perfume, it is a very feminine scent full of honey, vanilla, flowers and with a light sweetness. Fits the Beautiful Line of perfumes.

This is a first impression, so I might revise it...it is interesting, I would define it as a floral oriental, for a few minutes it has that Turkish delight vibe, but it fades, and the drydown is mostly a warm honeyed floral,on the classy side, pretty nice..I am not sure the notes work together for some reason..they seem to cancel each other..the sage pops up very briefly, in the end you are left with a pretty fragrance , feminine, a bit unusual, not sure it is quite for me, but time will tell..

Definitely not unique, but it’s pleasant. A sweet floral that lasts fairly long on the skin, but doesn’t leave a big scent trail. I do pick up a mango vibe from this, although that note is not listed. I think this is nice for an everyday/signature or work scent.

I had a chance to preview this at an event. It's a soft, warm , nutty gourmand. I don't detect any sage or patchouli but it's very pleasant nonetheless. The almond is quite pronounced but quite naturalistic. It reminds me of Zadig and Voltaire This is Her.

Very pleasant light almondy floral scent, at the start almonds are green and a bit bitter, then they sweeten all together with other notes and aroma is smooth, pleasantly sweet, mild and suitable to wear everywhere.

This is divine! So intoxicating! I’m so sad they don’t make it anymore. Help please what else smells like this!?

I don’t know why but unfortunately it smells a lot of pink pepper to my nose :/

I’ve never really fallen in love with Estée Lauder fragrances. I physically cannot tolerate Pleasures by Estée Lauder - it makes me feel very unwell. There was a case when, after applying just half a spray on my clothes, I actually had to go back home (and stay there), take a shower, and change. I felt awful - headache, pressure in my temples, and so on. It was so ringing, sharp, and piercing that it felt as if icy icicles were being driven into me. I tried it in different seasons, and the reaction was always the same. Intuition by Estée Lauder (vintage) I simply didn’t like. Youth-Dew by Estée Lauder is too heavy. The only one that appealed to me was Sensuous by Estée Lauder, but only in very rare moods - and I generally prefer versatile fragrances. I tested floral scents from the brand in stores - they “rang” for me. More classic compositions, on the other hand, felt oppressive. I even wanted to stop looking in this house’s direction altogether. But then I started eyeing Beautiful Belle Love. It has already been discontinued (they pulled it surprisingly quickly). I liked the note pyramid, and yet I couldn’t quite understand how it actually smelled. I reread the reviews - which, I wouldn’t say, are very numerous. Finally, I managed to buy a 30 ml bottle. A nervous moment. And I liked it. And yes, it really does resemble a blend of classic Olympéa by Rabanne and Lady Million by Rabanne (before smelling it, I couldn’t imagine that combination in my head). But there is one thing. The scent is pleasant - but not mine. I would like my mother, or an older sister, or an aunt to smell like this, rather than myself. I don’t regret the purchase. It’s a very interesting fragrance for cooler weather. There’s something mature, tropical, and vacation-like about it. But I’ve noticed that sometimes a slightly nauseating note comes out - I don’t know what it is. It doesn’t resemble Love, Don’t Be Shy by Kilian.

Blind buy from Ross. Maybe I'm generally not a fan of sweety-cuty perfumes but this one to me seems ok. Not terrible, but not impressive. To me smells very commercial and generic. Definitely compliment pleaser. Perfect for girls who's going to a date and willing to look adorable. I get almond and a little honey among flowers but still there's nothing special about this frag. At the same time should admit that it's a very safe choice to wear at any occasion, this guy will not gasp people around. If you want something that is sweet, feminine and gentle go with this perfume. Opening to me looks like a young girl flying on a pink balloon, too cute. IMHO. Well majority would like it, especially guys. On blotter dries down very synthetic-sweet, but on the skin develops in a slightly gourmand way which I appreciate. def I like drydown more than opening. After some time becomes very cozy and comfortable, I'm sure it will be easy to wear. Reminds me a little bit of Lady Million but less loud and less thick. Amazing perfume for somebody else
