La Belle Flower Edition

Sweet, floral, fruity, vanilla, powdery, lactonic, creamy, white floral, citrusy, woody, radiant, feminine, romantic, sensual, seductive, classy, elegant, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, cheerful, uplifting, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting, unique On me this opens with sweet jammy apricot. The heart blooms with lemony and slightly waxy magnolia, creamy and slightly leathery osmanthus, and lush jasmine. The dry down shines as it intertwines sensual and powdery warm ambery vanilla with woody vetiver and a gentle patchouli that adds a nice depth. The most prominent notes on me are the apricot, magnolia, osmanthus, vanilla, and then vetiver followed by the patchouli. I just had to get this one as I’m a JPG fan, really enjoy magnolia, and find the bottle to be absolutely stunning! Yes, the bottle was a big selling point to me because it’s sculpted beautifully, and I think the magnolia accent is absolutely gorgeous! Fortunately, it also sounded like a fragrance that I would enjoy, and thankfully I wasn’t disappointed! I got my bottle right whenever it launched last year, and I do think it’s changed slightly as it’s macerated. I notice the osmanthus, vetiver, and patchouli more prominently than they were at first. The osmanthus really seems to bring a milky, leather-like scent now that wasn’t as noticeable before. To me this feels very feminine, and suitable for women of all ages. This feels like it works best during the spring, summer, and fall because of the bright fruity floral profile. I mentioned fall because the woody ambery vanilla base makes it work during the cooler weather, especially during the earlier part of fall, but throughout the whole season. This feels fitting for any occasion from casual to fancy, and including work/school. I do enjoy JPG fragrances quite a bit, and currently own Classique (OG lace corset bottle), Classique X, Classique Pin Up (my favorite as a gourmand girlie!), La Belle, and La Belle Flower Edition. I wouldn’t say this is particularly similar to La Belle, and it likely wouldn’t be noticeable as a flanker just from the scent itself. It’s much more floral, but it does share the woody amber-y vanilla base as well as a leathery nuance from the osmanthus. I’m also really looking forward to ordering the new JPG Divine Couture and trying it out because it sounds amazing! I think La Belle Flower Edition performs wonderfully. The longevity is great, it lasts throughout the entire day on my skin. The projection is strong, it radiates out at least a few feet from me.

Beautiful, fruity, floral, sweet, bright, radiant, fresh, feminine, classy, elegant, charming, flirty, sensual, warm, creamy, enchanting, whimsical, luminous, uplifting, unique On me this opens with sweet, fruity, and bright burst of jammy apricot which settles into a lovely blend of the slightly waxy and lemony scent of magnolia, sweet jasmine, and soft osmanthus. As it dries down the warm, creamy, and sensual ambery vanilla, vetiver, and patchouli base really begins to shine. It starts off bright and fresh, and once it’s fully dried down it’s a more warm and sensual creamy vanilla and amber apricot. The patchouli is extremely subtle, so it really just enhances the other notes, and is difficult for me to pick up on its own. If you are worried about the patchouli, don’t be, and still give this a try. It’s very well balanced and blended, and is a very beautiful and sophisticated fragrance. It’s also rather unique, I can’t say that I have anything very similar to this in my collection. To me this definitely feels feminine, and I think it can easily be worn by women of any age. Even though this is more spring and summer leaning, I do think it will work all year round. It’s fruity, bright, and floral enough for the spring and summer, but also sweet, warm, and sensual enough for fall and winter. I think this would work well for pretty much any occasion from casual to fancy. This is sweet, but not too sweet (The OG La Belle is sweeter). Also floral, but not overly so as you might expect from the name “Flower Edition”. Rather it’s a lovely balance between fruity, floral, and vanilla. I’m really excited to pair this with some of my B&BW lotions, especially vanilla ones and Forever Sunshine (another great apricot fragrance). As soon as I saw this stunning bottle I became very intrigued as to what the fragrance would be like. I read the description and notes, and decided that it would probably be a safe blind buy for me. I’m definitely not disappointed at all! This is such a lovely and unique take on La Belle, I actually enjoy it even more than the original. It’s actually quite different from the OG, and would not necessarily be easily identified as a flanker of it (compare to ones like Alien Goddess and Alien Goddess Intense, D&G Devotion and D&G Devotion Intense, YSL Black Opium and YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, ect). It’s its own unique fragrance, but does still have a bit of the La Belle dna. It’s definitely one of my favorite JPG fragrances! For reference, I also own La Belle, Classique (original lace corset bottle), Classique X, and Classique Pin Up. I get excellent performance with La Belle Flower Edition. The longevity is impressive, it lasts the entire day, and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is very good, it radiates out a few feet from me. I only need a few sprays to get this effect, so I do consider this to be a good value. I also wanted to add that this doesn’t cause me to get a headache (an extremely rare occurrence for me), nor does it cause me to have any nausea (more common than headaches for me).

I can’t do justice after @darkbeauty’s review!! I will say that everything they said is SPOT on. Some additions I’ll make as a newer perfume collector - this feels like a really easy wear, especially as it’s drying down. The initial scent has something to it that I don’t really like, but that goes away pretty quickly. As it dries down, it develops into such a beautiful, light but bold-ish scent. Nothing too overwhelming. I have yet to pick up on any notes of patchouli, so I really wouldn’t let that deter you if you’re interested based off of everything else. Oh, the bottle is adorable - as always. I love jpg’s craftsmanship. The flower seems to be plastic, to answer somebody’s question. I haven’t messed with it too much, but it seems relatively sturdy. I would not complain if this became regularly available (vs limited edition). Edit: wait.. is this a limited edition? Or did I just confuse myself bc edition is in the name.. Edit (again): I THINK I found the patchouli. I sprayed it on my robe and 24 hours later, there is a slight hint of it. I didn’t notice that on my clothes after 12 hours, so it seems to be something that maybe takes a while to develop. And of course the remnants of the patchouli are super subtle

Lately, I haven't been interested in any designer perfumes because to my nose they all smell the same to my nose and they are just so redundant. I get it, they are trying to fit a certain market but it just hasn't been for me. I saw two video reviews of this fragrance and decided to take the risk and purchase from their website. What a great decision! This fragrance is amazing, to my nose it has the same vibe as Divine, I was a bit afraid of the flower notes but it is such a well balanced fragrance. It's elegant, sweet, fresh, everything at the same time. I see myself wearing this all year long. It's strong, I sprayed the receipt that comes inside the box and I can smell it every time I walk in the room. This is definitely going to be part of my permanent collection. Regarding the apricot that some reviewers mention, I do agree that it's there but not too sweet, maybe the outside of the fruit. A great creation! For those of you who don't enjoy flowery perfumes, give it a try.. Sample it first of course but don't let it deter you... You will be surprised.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Flower Edition is a soft, powdery and floral fragrance that feels very elegant and feminine on my skin. The powdery note comes through clearly and gives it a smooth, slightly velvety texture. The floral aspect is noticeable but not sharp — it blends nicely with the softness and creates a refined, gentle character. What I really like is how it develops over time. It sits well on the skin and actually becomes better the longer it wears, as the powdery and floral notes settle into something warmer and more harmonious. It feels like a more mature fragrance, well suited for adults rather than something playful or overly sweet. Overall, it’s a beautiful, elegant and soft floral-powder scent that improves with time and feels very wearable and sophisticated. Absolutely great for summer. I give it 8/10. Downside is it doesn't last longer than 5 hours.

oh my GOODNESS this is a perfect velvety fruity creamy floral. it's so perfect. it's me in a bottle. i smelled this in ulta and i thought i was dreaming. it's not apricot in a bright way but in a soft way, more like the fuzzy skin than the juicy inside. the jasmine and vanilla come through as one once the perfume has dried down and introduce a creamy blissfulness that i can't describe as anything but the most even balance of sweet and floral. i would 100% recommend this as a blind buy. my only gripe is that it fades like a body spray. it makes me so sad because it's so perfect except it only lasts like 4-5 hours on my skin. love this otherwise, totally get it for your errand-running days, dates, interviews, etc.

I find this fragrance incredibly elegant. It is unique and undeniable feminine. In a world where so many flankers feel repetitive, it is refreshing to experience something that dares to stand out. We often criticize the monotony of fragrances, yet when something different comes along, we can be quick to dismiss it. Personally, I am really enjoying how this scent embraces is individuality. It is sophisticated, beautifully composed, and a true standout in my collection. A gem for those who appreciate a fragrance that is distinctive and refined. And, the bottle and the packaging are gorgeous!!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I didn't think I would like it but it was love at first sniff. Immediately it transported me back into childhood surrounded by super realistic apricot jam, then flowers and apricots, then sugared apricot pie. What a delightful perfume, it is not sweet but it is delicious. Nostalgia. What a beautiful dream! I think this is one of the best JPG I ever smelled so far. And of course, it is super long lasting which is a bonus. I washed my hands three times and I could still feel it on the back of my hands so beautiful.

I'm huge fan of La Belle perfume range, so I blind bought this as soon as I found it. No regret, it is stunning! As the name suggests it is definitely flower edition. After beautiful jammy apricot opening it takes you to the very flowery middle where apricot blends wonderfully with magnolia, jasmin and osmatnhus. Flowers accords stays strong until the more subtle but typical la belle vanilla - vetiver dry down. Very feminine and sexi, I'm impressed. It's got high potential to become my favourite from the line.

Most of the Reminds Me section is completely irrelevant imo. First I want to say - thr first 2 bottles I got of this were beautiful. Powdery, sweet Apricots and white florals. Very similar to FRANCESCA DELL'ORO Vanille 8:00. But now I bought a 3rd bottle and it is giving me something a bit different and soapy. Similar to the first 2 bottles but not the same. If I had gotten this the first time I would have stopped there. I am hoping my new bottle is just feeling some travel-shock.

Perfume tão frutado que chega a ser suculento, lembra a sensação de comer um damasco mesmo, fruta aguada e carnuda. Particularmente nunca experimentei um perfume frutado tão intenso. Passei no braço e no dia seguinte a minha camiseta estava cheirando a ele (mesmo comigo tendo experimentado vários outros perfumes). Se não fosse pelo preço teria comprado, não acho que vale 1000 reais, mesmo sendo edição limitada.

I’ve never really been a fan of JPG fragrances for women, however men’s yes. But, this fragrance is beautiful. - Smooth, clean, slightly warm, has a powdery note and not too sweet. Sexy aspect, not in your face, At the start, I can’t put a finger on the individual notes as for me they have all been mixed into one another. Dry down, smooth vanilla with a powdery finish and a touch of apricot.

Like original La Belle, just juicier! It doesn’t cause me a headache, although I get where most negative reviewers come from. The fragrance is very climate-dependent and in warmer temperatures can turn out into a soapy sugary scent. However, on my skin it develops beautifully (although I do regret it’s lacking sophistication a bit).

I hope these come to myer in Australia the woman's and the men's I really want to add them to my jean paul gaultier collection Edit updated I just found out that David Jones is selling the la belle and le beau flower editions

Glorious fruity-jammy opening that sits on sweet rounded warm base with a little leather like the others feature in this line. My favorite flanker and bottle of La Belle

I’m seriously stalking this perfume for a release date. I cannot wait to try her! I’m so excited to have an apricot note 🍑 (pretend that’s an apricot)

I really hope this comes to myer and the mens edition to all of jpg scents smell so beautiful not one of jpg scents smell horrible

Second day wearing today after my bottle arrived yesterday. I mostly agree with scent.2go below. I absolutely like this scent, it is mostly apricot to me, a fresh but not juicy one. It smells fruity and natural, slightly sweet but not massively. After a few minutes the osmanthus and magnolia kick in and it starts to round out with a floral, slightly creamy (but far from rich) vibe. Then the patchouli provides a fuzzy base warmth. The vanilla to me isn't really detectable, and the apricot does stay for the duration of wear. I am also a big JPG fan and love how unique and bold their frags are, both in terms of scent profile and longevity. I like this, but currently it isn't love, and it is far less unique / original and impactful than pretty much all previous JPG scents. It reminds me mostly of fresh, osmanthus perfumes like Penhaligons Vra Vra Vroom. The wear overall is quite light in terms of presence and longevity, I would say it lasts on me around 5 hours with intimate to moderate sillage, whereas every other JPG scent I have is strong and long lasting. I agree with Joani_Cheddar below that this may really come alive in warmer weather, so I hope I'll fall in love with it then. For now it is absolutely pleasant, but not the wow I'd hoped for.

Apricot, OSMANTHUS, Magnolia, Jasmine, Vanilla, PATCHOULI. Really pretty fresh dry apricot I really like this. I had to warm up To it at first but the more my nose smelled it the more I became more confident about this fragrance, definitely not for the 20somethings and younger, I’d say this is for a more Mature. Fragrance lover who appreciates the complexity and the art behind the notes. I’m 36 and have worn this several times and gotten compliments, the dry down does give a bit of the La Belle feeling but this is definitely in its own lane like La Belle Garden. Please try before you fully commit.

La Belle Flower dries down to a typical fruity floral with a bit of a tropical accent. But for the first 20-30 minutes, there is a note that smells off -- not quite bad, but not pleasant either. After that wears off, you're left with a nice apricot, floral, vanilla fragrance that's fine but not particularly unique. If you already have a scent like this in your collection, you don't need La Belle Flower. Even if you are looking for something like this, La Belle Flower isn't the best version of it. You can do better in the sweet, tropical, floral department.
