Belle en Rykiel Eau de Toillete Sonia Rykiel for women

A blind buy that turned out right. I smell cola for some reason. Its unusual but easy to wear. Worth a try.

Very light, fresh, airy scent which stays close. If I sniff for it I can barely smell it but I get gentle wafts of it if I leave it alone. It is difficult to pick out specific notes but it opens with a lovely blast of sweet lemony fruitiness. Thereafter it is a soft lavender incense with a hint of fruit. Calming, relaxing, pleasant, distinctive, unimposing. For a perfume obsessive like me this is almost a nose rest day.

I agree with the other reviewers that this does not last long on the skin, but there is something about it that I really love ( the patchouli?) and I dont have anything else quite like it. I find that when I use it, I spray it on my clothes & it does last alot longer, also both men & women always comment when I have it on. Its like the person wearing it stops smelling it but everyone else can smell it and they love it! I have enjoyed this fragrance but would not recommed to anyone who likes a strong scent as this is very, very subtle. Maybe thats its beauty?

January 9th 2011 : I tested the EDP : I hated. I tested the EDT : I loved it. Why ? I can't explain. Perhaps because of the incense scent...So I want this one because I'm sure this fragrance could be among my favorite ones : sweet, warm, floral.
April 3rd 2011 : I purchased it because the test in the shop was very good. Now the "every day test" shows me more : it's sweet and floral but it doesn't last. It's too bad because it's a good EDT. It reminds me a lighter Lady Million because of lemon and patchouli notes. I will keep the bottle for my pleasure, in my collection but I won't purchase it again.

This fragrance is extremely transitory!
It disappeared so quickly that I couldn't even smell it well. It's a pity because it has the notes I should like.
Thus, I would call it "transparent".
