Maison Alhambra
Glacier Bella
“La Belle’s sugared pear, made simple — the cozy cold-weather sweetness you reach for without thinking.”
A three-note vanilla-pear composition from Maison Alhambra's Glacier line, released in 2024 and widely compared to Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle (2019): green pear, vanilla pod and bergamot. Vanilla leads the accords by a wide margin, with a powdery softness and a light citrus lift. Wears strongest in fall and winter, versatile day-to-night.

- ●Wearable across most of the year
