My unexpectedly intense sadness over Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz, the truly annoying flood of designer flankers, and my not-so-great enthusiasm for the La Belle line almost made me ignore “La Belle Fleur Terrible.”
Somehow, I didn't have a good memory of Le Beau Paradis Garden, and therefore my interest in the La Belle version was zero.
Then a friend visited me, she entered the room and I thought: Ahh, Coconut Fizz. But it wasn't. It was … ta-da… exactly, Fleur Terrible.
When testing the fragrance myself, that association was not as strong anymore.
Although no coconut is listed, I smell this component, I don't like the heliotrope very much, and I can't perceive the ginger at all.
Still, I have to smile when I smell this fragrance. It lifts the mood and accompanied me for three weeks in Nicaragua, passing the heat test with flying colors.
Test it. Take it with you one evening into your life. It is not complex, not terrible, not profound. It is lively, a dance at sunset by the sea somewhere in Central America.
Do you know Blooming Coconut by Essential Garden?
It reminds me even more of Coconut Fizz because it has that transparent, more coconut water-like scent.
