Flora Bella
by Lalique
Flora Bella by Lalique is a rich, densely layered floral that unfolds like a tropical garden after rain—lush, humid, and deeply aromatic. It opens with a vibrant burst of lilac, freesia, and mimosa, accented by frangipani, tiare, and orchid, giving it a floral intensity that feels both expansive and immersive. The core of the scent leans into a creamy, slightly earthy sweetness, driven by vanilla and amber, creating a warm, opulent base that lingers long after the top notes fade. The fragrance evolves into a deep, velvety bouquet reminiscent of a sun-drenched summer afternoon in a tropical paradise—characterized by its floral abundance and subtle synthetic undertones that some find metallic or cloying. Its longevity is outstanding, lasting well beyond 10 hours, and its sillage is moderate to strong, making it noticeable without overwhelming. The scent is particularly prized in warm, humid climates, where it feels most alive and balanced.
