Woody oriental scent. Long lasting.
Very feminine fragrance!
Is there anybody with it for a swap?
My friend would give a Paco Rabanne XS Extreme Girl for it 50ml.
A beautiful perfume,you can wear it day or night..I get many compliments when I wear this and you can smell it all day.
I have a small note to add to the great reviews here.
This perfume reminds me of mulled wine :)
Hot wine + cloves, cinnamon, honey...
A very special oriental spicy fragrance.
I get mostly peach & cinnamon in the beginning. To me it resembles a bit a well-known beauty as it dries down ... Alchimie!
5 common notes, one from the top - peach, and four from the base - tonka, vanilla, sandalwood, heliotrope.
It's rich, powdery, woody, spicy, it warms you from the inside!
Still, I wouldn't be able to wear it.
(Same with Alchimie).
Stays rather close to my skin, but the staying power is great!
Oh, I like this scent. I don't feel overwhelming peach there to my happiness. For me it's spicy-fruity-woodsy-sweet. It's sexy and misterious. A warm and cosy one.
Long lasting, lovely, powdery, sweet and very feminine fragrance! Reminds me a bit of Cacharel's Noa but blended with a bit of Amor Amor.. Definitely a wonderful fragrance, perfect for autumn - very warm, with the perfect amount of spices.. One of the best "blind" purchases I ever had!
P.S. It's also very long-lasting! 8 hours at least!!
Incredibly strong powdery fragrance.It is so strong that I felt nothing for hours except that dominant powdery note.This is probably a good recommendation.
Today I have noticed that Be 21 smells like Miller et Bertaux #1. Very spicy with a hint of fruits and definitely a medicine note.
There is another niche fragance called Sottobosco -from the Spanish brand Jimmy Boyd- which is quite similar to Be 21 too.
When I sprayed it first I thought that it was way too much oriental but after few hours I smelled it again and I got the impression that it matched up with my skin. So I'm starting to like its smell although at first I did not like it. I would ratherly use it at night or for a special occasion.
Be 21 is one fragrance i ever searched for it's a wonderful clean/soft creamy/sensual and light sweet/woody natural scent.I'm happy that i could test this one it's not so popular and that's definitive good.
At the beginning the scent is very fresh and spicy i smell the cinnamon,then it becomes softer and creamy,sensual i smell violet and the cashmere wood then it becomes sweeter i love the tonka bean and vanilla in it and also the woody background.
Be 21 last a long time and is good for the colder day's and the spring time,but also for warmer day's.I'm addicted to the smell i'm so happy that i have one bottle of this awesome scent and i'm sure when this bottle end i buy a second one.The Bottle is clean and awkward i like the bottle it's so pure like the scent.
A great perfume.Not many women wear it and that is always a plus.It is the pistachio that makes it particularly interesting.Pistachio-flowers was the ingredient that I had read about when it was launched.Comfortable and femminine,in the classic meaning of the term.Well,for all the specialists here,a must try by Orlane.
Be 21 seems to be made out of 2 entire different parts. With the first spritz I got a sharp, vivacious accord of peach and ginger (though I know it`s not in the composition).The second part dawned on me in about an hour and it was very, very alluring and attractive - soft woodsy notes, almond, and best of all - the heliotrope? so sweet ant tempting.Reminded me of Tracy by Ellen Tracy - same gentle sweetness.
