Pony Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 La Belle Reveuse A peaceful blend of lavender, heather and lily, with light touches of gardenia and lemongrass, and a good night kiss of sugar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: LAVENDER ~ Soothes/restores body and mind, arouses sexual desire in men, loyalty, purification, protection, healing. HEATHER ~ Admiration and beauty, protection, especially over women and virtue, peace, beginnings, elemental magic, wishes granted. POWDERED SUGAR ~ Attracts love, luck, sweetness, riches, lust inducing. LILIES ~ Soothing and calming on the nerves, sweetness, mental prowess, happiness. GARDENIA ~ Mood elevator, powerfully "magnetic" for women, enhances visage, love, passion, peace, healing, spirituality. LEMONGRASS ~ Lust, increases psychic powers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok I have worn this to bed for the last two nights. Definitely a keeper and definitely bottle-worthy.A lovely soft floral, with just the right touch of sweetness to be soothing. Not quite as forward as To Sooth a Broken Heart, but I get a more floral impression than Les Sommeil...so somewhere in between, at least to my nose.I have bedtime scents, and daytime scents, and rarely do the 2 overlap, but I liked this so much that I even sneaked some on yesterday afternoon at work.

liz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 La Belle Reveuse is BEAUTIFUL ! light, airy and dreamy, very nicely done !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Having tried this for over a week now, I can attest that it is nicely calming and relaxing, perfect for bedtime. But it's a little too floral for me (granted, I'm not really a fan of heather or lavender), I prefer Le Sommeil des Anges which is also largely floral but doesn't strike me as such. But for those who would prefer a floral sleep blend to an herbal one, this is a lovely creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultry brunette Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 My skin does not do well with lavender. That is all I can smell in this scent on my skin. On me, it turns to a very sharp green lavender note. Not the soft lavender that I smell when someone else wears it. If you love lavender and it works for you, this is likely a good one for you to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccah Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So I gave this a skin test last night. I really don't get lavender. I get 'green floral', I smell the Heather the strongest. I really like it, this would be great combined with Tranquility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Wow, I have a drastically different skin type--this is actually very sweet on me, I'll even say foody (yes!!! hahaha). It reminds me of To Soothe a Broken Heart and Ajia's Misty Lavender but with a more candylike feel, probably because I'm amping the sugar. To my relief no lemongrass shows up on me at all. It's a just a lovely calorie-free sugary olfactory treat for bedtime. Edited January 17, 2010 by Invidiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I tried this with and without barrier. With: big floral (I actually smelled lilac?!) but with assertive lemongrass! Making it super bright and fresh, not fussy. Without: very soft, white, silky, all lily w/ lemongrass just peeking in occasionally. I don't experience this as for sleepytime at *all* - it seems very daytime to me, just the thing for brunch and mimosas or high tea. Lovely.

JOC Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 My nose smelled flowers and lemon/lemongrass big time so I'll have to give this a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenwing Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 this one is beautiful. florals and creamy. it is sweet but not to sweet. mild and classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 My nose smelled flowers and lemon/lemongrass big time so I'll have to give this a miss. I revisited this scent after my friends took away 2 bottles and left me with the last one. The lemon scent seemed to have mellowed down tremendously. I'll keep this for days when I need a light scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonholly209 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The first time I wore this i had a few other scents on so i didn't like it as much. Then, I gave it another shot one night after I got out of the shower. I had a little rose body oil on before I put LBR, but instantly I felt relaxed. A long day, a hot shower, a silky layer of moisturizer, and a scent to drift me away with the night. LBR is a hazy lily that's been lulled by the sandman's powdered sugar, a lot of it. It's okay I think I have a sweet tooth for powdered sugar. A hint of lavender and lemongrass, though, stops the powdered sugar from being cavity sweet. I've been wearing this after studying furiously all night. I feel like it restores me throughout the day, as if I had a good night's sleep . It's my little bottle of rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This scent actually works wonder at bedtime after the citrus/sharpness mellow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella15 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 this is very pretty. I don't know that I would use it for a sleep scent, necessarily. I don't get much lavender. It feels mostly floral, to my nose. Almost going a bit soapy. Will test again, maybe for bed sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfumesniffer Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I love the balance of this floral scent, it's happy and calm at the same time. I agree with Beccah, this would be wonderful boosted with Tranquility Potion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamonmel Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The last two nights I have applied this to my pillow about an hour before going to bed, and have gone off to another room. I thought the first night's good sleep was down to sleeping pills, but the second night, I had none and the same feeling of 'mmmmmmm, I had deep sleep' when I woke up. This is actually working maybe too well as today I woke up at lunchtime. How embarrassing! Anyway, I am not reviewing for scent really as I haven't actually worn it, but it smells lavendar-y, a little sweet. Maybe something like Sogni but not so sweet or licorice-y. I don't care what it smells like if it helps me sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflake Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I get mostly lavender from this one. It feels very soothing, ideal for bed time. A few drops on the pillow for a cozy atmosphere and sweet dreams. I agree for the Tranquility Potion, these would go well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabolique Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I swear the first couple times I put this on I smelled a wee bit like chocolate... but come to think of it, everything seemed to be smelling a little like chocolate when I put it on so maybe it was just something in the air. I put some on again last night and it was beautiful! sweet and floraly but not too bubble-gum candy pink fairy sweet. I think this is a perfect spring/ summer scent and I fully intend to wear it until it gets cold and I want something spicy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I don't really know what to make of this one. It is very soft, floral, smells almost a little bit commercial. I feel like it wears very close to the skin and even having slathered a heap of it on I don't feel like anyone will smell it unless they sniff very close. I really can't even tell what the notes are in this, but I sort of like it all the same. ETA: Refreshed with this throughout the day. The soft, warm florals are floating up from my arms as I type. I'm liking it! I don't think I'll be rushing to get a bottle, but I'm going to enjoy my sample Edited October 10, 2012 by Synergist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loquacious Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is perfect for relaxing, a very sweet and floral scent. Lavender is the most prominent but those other flowers are peeking out, all covered in yummy powdered sugar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphindolls2 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is perfect for relaxing, a very sweet and floral scent. Lavender is the most prominent but those other flowers are peeking out, all covered in yummy powdered sugar! I would agree, this one is perfect for relaxing, I keep it by my computer and roll it on while I'm working, the florals in this are amazing...

Lainey Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think this one is pretty, but after awhile it goes "commercial perfume" on my skin. It's too bad because the florals are gorgeous at first. I wish they just stayed that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
