Angélique Noire
Angélique Noire is an amber floral fragrance that is warm, rich and linear. It lasts about 24 hours on the skin and has a particular note of Angelica in the top and base. Beve describes it as a five-stage clinger and an occasion fragrance that says Christmas to her.
Cuir Béluga
Cuir Béluga is a leather fragrance with Vanilla, Suede and Heliotrope. Beve describes it as elegant, refined and classy. She was surprised by how much she liked it.
Néroli Outrenoir
Néroli Outrenoir is a citrus aromatic fragrance that Beve describes as fresh, elegant and refreshing. It has notes of Myrrh, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Benzoin, Tea and Grapefruit. Beve was surprised by how much she liked it and describes it as perfect for the summertime. She doesn’t have anything like it and loves it.
Rose Barbare
Rose Barbare is a chypre floral fragrance with notes of Honey, Patchouli and Woody Notes in the base. Beve describes it as mostly a woody fragrance that is rough and more masculine-leaning. She would rather smell it on a man than a woman.
Rose Chérie
Rose Chérie is a floral fragrance that is not your typical rose. Beve describes it as extremely unique and like the sweetest rose tea that you ever had. She thinks it would be amazing for the summertime.
Santal Pao Rosa
Santal Pao Rosa is a woody fragrance with notes of Sandalwood and Agarwood. Beve describes it as having a very piercing, pungent, woody signature that is commanding and strong. She found it challenging to wear and leans very masculine to her nose.
Cruel Gardenia
Cruel Gardenia is a floral fragrance with a vintage vibe. Beve found it hard to find the Gardenia and was overwhelmed by the vintage notes. The fragrance disappears after about two minutes but comes back half an hour later.
Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Spiritueuse Double Vanille is a fragrance that many people talk about but Beve notes that it has a vintage vibe right off the top that persists for about two-thirds of the way through the life of the fragrance. Once you get past that mark, it dies down to a beautiful vanilla scent.
