“La Belle stripped back to its sweetest essentials and turned all the way up.”
The denser 2021 EDP concentration of JPG's La Belle line — Bisch and Constant's launch, a richer pear-and-vanilla take on the original 2019 EDP. Pear at the top, a tonka-jasmine heart, settling on a vanilla base. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
The take
What works
- ●Pear-jasmine-vanilla combination is warm, rich, and deeply wearable
- ●The La Belle line at full intensity — significantly more impact than the EDP
- ●Outstanding longevity for a mid-tier feminine EDP
Trade-offs
- ●Even lighter on leather than the original La Belle — the distinction becomes mostly vanilla
- ●Strictly a cold-weather evening fragrance
