BELLE ÉPOQUE (Bewitching Brew): (Company says:“The Pretty Era”, France’s Golden Time: an age of beauty, innovation and peace in France that lasted from the 19th Century through the first World War and gave birth to the cabaret, the cancan, and the cinema as well as the Impressionist and Art Nouveau movements. Sweet opium, Lily of the Valley, vanilla, mandarin and red sandalwood.)
In bottle: Mandarin dominant, with a strong lily of the valley presence. Vanilla is next strongest. Sandalwood is understated. Rich and pleasant. Wet: Orange sweetened with vanilla and a touch of lily of the valley. Sweet and womanly. Totally not me, but very well blended even with my tendency to amp orange. Dry: The opium and sandalwood come out. The mix is now remarkably womanly and sexy. The vanilla and sandalwood combination works particularly well. This really does beautifully embody its concept.
