{"product_id":"jean-paul-gaultier-la-belle-gift-set","title":"La Belle Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a present that will not be returned, the Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Gift Set is a reliable bet, because the fragrance inside is sweet in a way most people already know they like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get the 100ml Eau de Parfum, a 75ml body lotion and a 10ml spray. It opens bright. Bergamot gives the first few minutes a cologne like sharpness, bitter at the edge rather than sugary, and green pear sits next to it with a cool, watery crispness, the fruit before it has ripened rather than after. Underneath, vanilla is waiting, and it is the reason the fragrance is bought. Soft, powdery and creamy, it moves up through the citrus over the first half hour and ends up carrying everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree materials only. That makes it a short composition, and a legible one: there is a clear change from bright to warm and then very little else, which is part of why it wears so easily. The pear is the hinge between the two halves, and it is the material that keeps the opening from being merely bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSets like this tend to be bought at Christmas and for birthdays, and this one suits a woman who wears sweet fragrance at night and in cold weather. It is generous on skin, so whoever opens it should start with two sprays rather than four. As presents go it is a low risk one: sweet, warm and familiar enough that it rarely goes unworn, and recognisable enough that the recipient will know what they have been given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house behind it is French, founded by a designer whose womenswear debut came in 1976, with a Paris boutique following eight years later. Fragrance became part of the business in 1993, and the perfumes have been owned and run by Puig since the group took a majority stake in 2011, with production brought fully in house in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Paul Gaultier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55583597756743,"sku":"ENG222686","price":140.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng222686.webp?v=1794496539","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/fr\/products\/jean-paul-gaultier-la-belle-gift-set","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
