Belle de Jour
Belle de Jour by ERIS Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with coriander, pink pepper and orange blossom, moves into labdanum, jasmine and pimento and dries down to cedarwood, musk and seaweed. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
