Part of the Les Fleurs du Parfumeur collection of Mediterranean scents, Belle d’Amour honours angelica, also known as wild celery. Transformed into a soft, sensual eau de toilette, you’ll love the charm of this flower with its sweet, spicy green notes. To bring out the full olfactory power of angelica, gourmand accords of blackcurrant and vanilla are added to a bouquet of marigolds for a perfectly balanced composition.

HOW IT WEARS
Opening with bright and zesty bergamot which quickly dissipates to reveal sweet blackcurrant, Belle d’Amour gets more delicious the longer it wears. The green, musky and aromatic angelica is next, which is pleasantly blended with rose, jasmine and marigold for a realistic floral bouquet. The dry down is all about the vanilla, and even though this is an EDT it has great lasting power on the skin – we get 4-6 hours out of it!
LORE LOVES
Angelica is a note often used in perfumery but rarely the star of its own show like it is here in Belle d’Amour! Wild celery might not sound very glamourous, but this humble root has been used in medicine and cuisine for centuries. Its fragrance is green, musky, and aromatic – some say sort of like liquorice. Cleverly paired with perfectly complementary notes, Fragonard has managed to make angelica chic with Belle d’Amour, and we’re obsessed.
