Overview
-
Belle is a women’s Eau de Parfum by Al Haramain.
-
It aims for a fresh‑fruity‑gourmand profile — light, sweet, feminine, with some creamy warmth underneath.
Scent Structure & Notes
Here are its scent layers (pyramid) and what each part tends to contribute.
| Layer | Notes | What You Smell / Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Top / Opening | Mandarin, Blackcurrant blossoms, Grapefruit | Bright, juicy, fresh. The grapefruit gives some tang, mandarin soft citrus, the blackcurrant blossoms add a slightly floral fruit edge. A lively, uplifting start. |
| Middle / Heart | Melon, Apricot | Sweet fruitiness; softer, more playful. The melon rounds things out, adding a watery succulent tone; apricot gives a touch of warmth and richness without being heavy. |
| Base / Dry‑down | Sandalwood, Musk, Gourmand accord (sweet elements) | Creamy, warm, subtly sweet. The gourmand part adds something dessert‑like (but not overwhelming). The woods and musk anchor it, giving a smooth finish. |
Character & Effect
-
Vibe: Feminine, youthful, inviting. There’s something fun about it, rather than overly serious. It balances sweetness with freshness so it doesn’t feel too syrupy.
-
Strength / Longevity: It’s not extremely heavy or overpowering; more of a close‑to‑skin scent with moderate projection. Perfect for casual settings or everyday wear.
-
Season / Time: Works very well in warmer weather (spring, summer). The fresh fruit and citrus notes shine in heat. Also good for daytime or semi‑informal situations. Might be less suited for very formal evenings or cold winters unless you like layering with deeper scents.
-
Audience: Great for someone who likes sweet but balanced scents, not too heavy, maybe people who enjoy fruity floral perfumes with a touch of gourmand. Also good if you like scents that are pretty and approachable rather than bold or niche‑artsy.
