As soon as upon a time, a Houbigant floriental fragrance La Belle Saison was composed by Robert Bienaime, launched in 1925, in a bottle designed by Rene Lalique. The instances, they’re a-changing – this fragrance was discontinued many years in the past, but the attractive climate, sunshine after rain, and blooming flowers – aren’t. They’re an inexhaustible supply of inspiration!
Houbigant Paris La Belle Saison of 2020, created by Celine Ellena (born and raised in Grasse), isn’t an try and recreate the perfume from the previous.

La Belle Saison begins with brighter colours and sunnier days, including that little additional spring to your step resulting from nicer climate and the primary flowers blooming! As days develop longer, flower bouquets change into lusher, altering scent profiles and colours— from white, pale pink or yellow to shiny orange, deep pink or vivid purple. Primavera! A celebration of senses! And when mild spring or summer time rains fall upon the earth, it rejoices by releasing scent molecules to waft merrily within the air, similar to aerosol! As moisture within the air helps odor molecules to rise with sunshine after rain, so it helps us to scent higher – our sense of scent is solely stronger within the humid air. The delicate magnificence of spring and the sensual opulence of summer time are greatest felt after intervals of soppy rain falling.

La Belle Saison immediately is a golden-hued perfume that seems like sunshine after the primary spring rain falling upon clusters of mimosa flowers which can be regaining their fluffiness as raindrops evaporate. These moments of preliminary delicate pink and shiny yellow floral tenderness and brightness with only a suggestion of fruitiness, are enhanced with honeyed layers that progressively give extra depth to this composition.

Delicate and mushy, orange blossoms appear sprinkled with mimosa pollen. Their inside heat slowly glows with almondy undertones and only a pinch of pink pepper spiciness. Slight natural nuances appear to steadiness any sweetness, pulling you into a sublime and powdery cloud of shiny lushness, with no thorns in any respect. Because the perfume develops additional, the mimosa retreats into the background. As soothing leaves and a gently whispering path of balsamic softness meld with white florals and change into denser, the deeply settled amber and musk tones start to unveil their charms. Now the perfume strikes in the direction of the latter levels of its drydown, a serene sophistication takes over. Houbigant La Belle Saison seems like a deep heat breath of flowers in a rain-soaked backyard that bathes and unveils all of its magnificence in sunshine.
