La Belle

In La Belle by Jean Paul Gaultier, vanilla arrives first, pod flesh warmed to treacle darkness. Deeper in, rose unfolds as petal richness lit by morning gold against vetiver, a rooty smoke with tropical dust. Cinnamon joins as the brown sweetness of broken quills, with apple as white flesh flashing under red peel. The overall effect is damp and mineral, an earthy, sweet heart lifted by warm spice and white florals.
