Smells similar to Vie Est Belle, same style but fruitier mixed with patchouli and chocolate. They say it’s for night, but to me it’s not strong at all, so I use it in the office or during the day; it has less than half the projection of LVEB and feels harmless. It has a good price and lasts quite a while, though I feel it doesn’t project as much. Still, if you reapply a second time, it’s too much: although it stays light after hours, I recommend leaving it as is and not reapplying, because if it gets too much it can feel somewhat powerful.
Smells like Vie Est Belle but fruitier, with patchouli and chocolate notes. People say it’s for night, but to me it’s soft enough for day or the office; it has half the projection of the original and feels harmless. The price is excellent and it lasts well, though it doesn’t project much. If you reapply, it becomes too strong, so better to leave it as is: if it gets too much, it can feel overpowering after hours.
Ziggy, I laughed out loud at the Falete joke XD; I doubt his fragrance was like that. It was a blind buy. Nothing of the oriental floral I expected, but a pure gourmand where chocolate and patchouli dominate, typical of trendy fragrances. On me, it lasts a long time: I put it on at 8 and at 7 pm it was still on my wrist and décolletage. Edit: I wore it again and… I’m going to gift it, it’s very strong and suffocating. But if you like leaving a sugary trail, it’s for you. Edit 2: just curious for Ziggy, Falete uses YSL’s Yvresse and says the bottle is very baroque, very him (very FATALE XD).
Ziggy, I laughed a lot about the Falete topic too; I also doubt his fragrance was like that. It was a blind buy. There’s no sign of the oriental floral I expected, but a pure gourmand where chocolate and patchouli dominate, like in other trendy fragrances. On me it seems long-lasting: I put it on at eight and now it’s seven in the evening and it’s still on my wrist and décolletage. Edit: I wore it a second time and… I’m afraid I’ll have to gift it, it feels very strong and heavy. But if you like leaving a sugary trail, it’s your perfume. Edit 2: just curious for Ziggy, Falete uses YSL’s Yvresse and says the bottle is very much like him, very baroque, very Falete (very FATALE).
I was gifted a 30ml bottle when buying another perfume; the girl, an underwear designer with her own line, told me it was a clone of Vie Est Belle. It smells like the dry-down of the original, when the patchouli emerges and smells like chocolate muffins, just that stage. I wouldn’t recommend it because on me it lasted two hours and I don’t know the price. That’s my experience.
A colleague wears it and I thought it was LVEB, but when I asked, she said it was by Falete, a famous Spanish artist. We started debating because I found it impossible for his fragrance to smell identical to LVEB, while she insisted it did. The next day, laughing hysterically, she showed me the box and sure enough, it said ‘Fatale’. To me, Fatale will remain Falete’s perfume, and it smells identical to Roberts’ version.
