"La vie est belle", a French expression meaning ""life is beautiful"", is about celebrating every precious moment. I really don`t understand the hype about this perfume.As somebody who really loves vanilla in perfumes, I can say that this is one of the worst vanilla fragrances ever. If I’m being honest, this smells like a Halls Fruit Breezer cough drop. I enjoyed smelling like pralines and tonka, it always seemed to put me in a good mood. My older bottle and sample vials are -strong-. Book La Vie Est Belle hotel in Rome with Almosafer. There was a boom like 3-4 years ago when it seemed like it was the only perfume available on the market hahaha. I only get a whiff of vanilla towards the very end or when I exhale after breathing in the perfume. The only downside is that virtually Everyone I know wears it. To those whose skin chemistry reacts badly with earthy green notes (patchouli etc.) Something in it makes me instantly nauseous. You CANNOT go wrong with this perfume. I have definitely found a new favorite and I'm glad I finally tried it! Except it isn't only the teenagers who wear this. Literally every time I when I have this on, someone would follow me to ask what it is! Best price guaranteed. That's no surprise: the sillage is enormous and instantly recognizable. I recently tried it, I am wearing right now from a sample and I think it has not the disturbing thickness it had with its release. I know it’s very ‘basic’ in that she’s one of the “popular girls”, and it’s not particularly adventurous or totally individualistic, but I have an affinity to this overly sweet, yummy, girly goodness. Not even close. I am sad to say I will no longer be rebuying this & I wanted to warn people to not just rebuy this blindly(like me) when they run out to be careful before they buy. It lasts forever on clothing, but not so much on my skin. It doesn’t overwhelm the other notes and adds the right amount of spice IMO. It’s boring and forgettable. It also has a slight salty smell on me. But, oh well.... It`s all about money, isn`t it? (I used to be one of those people BTW), This is a nice girlish bottle and inside of this I can smell coco mademoiselle with flower bomb and in the drydown a little bit of angel. Day after that, I sniffed the paper and I still can smell it but I did't get headache, what I notice the scent became even better. LVEB is one which I will always have and I would even consider a signature scent. I loved the sweet aspect of it and I never found it sickly sweet at the time. It has that powdery iris adding a grown up sophistication that so many fragrances of this vein lack. It created a new genre of fragrances inspired by it. If you do get a bottle of LVEB make sure to not overspray because this scent lasts forever and has a very strong projection. This fragrance has a lot of dislikes for a reason. :). Not too florally, I don’t care if it is one of the most popular perfumes out there, I love it. The performance is 10/10. This is still amazing with great projection and longevity. La Vie Est Belle is a new Lancome fragrance, available on the market from fall 2012. Great longevity and projection .

And it makes me smile, just like its bottle :-). La Vie Est Belle was created by Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. With all due respect, this being my first time testing it, I was expecting a bit more than just the cloying, sweetness; it gives the same vibe as mon guerlain but the sweetness here is a bit more rounded. I felt a second review was in order as LVEB has become my signature fragrance. 244 likes. Whether it’s overrated and everyone wears, its for good reason. The fragrance has a glass like texture that appeals to me (as opposed to JPG's La Belle, which I found to be coarse and fuzzy). Awful, artificial, heavy and plastic like smell.

The fragrance is a kind of outlook on life, inspired by joy and pleasure in small things. Simply because is delicious and it delivers. I have heard that LVEB L'Éclat is better in sillage. I SO agree with Lamiawitipo, below me!! Sweet, feminine, intense and durable. This is so boring to me. "La vie est belle," a French expression meaning "life is beautiful," is about choosing your own path to happiness. Massive hit from Lancome. The iris seems to be dimmed down, and so is the projection. It's not a bad fragrance by any means, but there's just nothing particularly interesting or striking about it. It's just perfect. Absolutely beautiful. It is too sweet, I feel like I smell 'dirty' - like I am trying to cover up sweat or something. Although I previously disliked gourmand fragrances, I’ve realised over the years these are what suit my skin best. I loved this perfume once (I got a small tester and used for a while). This is perfectly balanced fragrance, super feminine and long lasting. I didn't want to buy it for so long because is so popular but I've recently got myself a sample and I absolutely love it!

Although it might be how it feels on me, as I have nothing against it on others. OMG....I’m over 45! I didn´t like it at first, but it dries wonderfully. (At least not the original ) But after about a year, I opened my heart to LVEB and I accepted it for what it is. Also bought a shimmering body lotion, and that was ok. I don’t understand the appeal of this at all! I tried it once as a possible wedding fragrance contender and had to wash my clothes and shower twice. I can imagine wearing this on my wedding day, as it perfectly embodies womanhood, and would be sure to radiate. I pretty much like most fragrances and I am excited to wear this on a date night for both of us. I don't know how people smell "sexy" in a fragrance but to me this is not at all sexy. Oh and lasts all day, just gorgeous. I'm going to be honest, this scent is beautiful, but it's too strong for me, I prefer the flanker E'clat to the original. If LA Vie Belle could talk she would enter a room and say "At last, I have arrived, you may be seated now". In my skin it smells like patchouli and praline and it is both sweet and sour. Literally. At first I was hoping it would change as I wear it - nope - still nauseating. This was my first gourmand perfume. It is sweet, strong, luxurious, and long lasting.. and nothing else smells like it.

I have had a complicated relationship with this perfume, mostly because I love it so much but I don’t want to smell common. Not what I expected from Lancome. I personally loved it because i'm a huge fan of strong, sweet, intoxicating scents. It even beats Coco Mademoiselle and that’s something. But this - can't tolerate it! It’s very powdery, kind of sharp, and feels like it has something missing. Everywhere i go i always smell it on somebody, is extremely easy to recognize, so it is not that worth it anymore. Unfortunately, in the new version Patchouli from spicy and feisty turns into musty, however, the base falls out more interesting, it smells alternately with delicate smoke and milk chocolate. I almost finished a 50ml bottle - which is a lot for me, because I usually use perfume sparingly. Someone in my building wears this and the elevator is always filled with this scent.

By now everything has been said about LVEB,it is stil a beautiful fragrance,extremely popular but for a reaon.With the launch of Idole,LVEB has been put to one side for awhile but even if Idole is indeed a lovely scent I do not think it will be as succesful as LVEB.I hope there will be more flankers in the future so far they all have been so good.

I could never make it a signature as it was way too sweet for everyday but whenever I did, you would know when I was in the room. The longevity and sillage is great! I first tried la vie about 4 yrs ago or more. This is still an extremely great one, it smells rich, sexy. 5. Sitting on the couch watching tv with my fam, all of a sudden I started to smell creamy vanilla Ice Cream somewhere near me, & looked around to see who was eating it but nobody was... it was my wrists & it smelled lovely unlike any other perfume I’ve tried over the last couple of years since I quit LVEB. I love the original LVEB. They are practically twins, After all these years of asking myself what's that awful perfume so many women wear I realized today this is it. btw this is reformulated. Now I just love this scent in winter time. Technically perfect. It makes me smile when I smell it. Can I be 100% honest with you guys? im really disappointed. You definitely get your money’s worth with this. However, La Vie Est Belle is an amazing sweet but not-too-sweet iris-praline scent that's unlike any fragrance I've smelled before! it very well made and it's a bit different from most 'pretty-pretty' perfumes. As the dry down starts, the high pitched flower scent subsides and it morphs into a soft sweet floral vanilla. Other popular fragrances like Flowerbomb, La Nuit Tresor, and Black Opium share a similar vibe but LVEB is unmistakable. I’d like to try more of the flankers to see if I can find my favourite. I’m not into floral perfumes and thankfully this one isn’t too floral. Oh yeah, and to make my post relevant, la nuit tresor has some similarities to la vie est belle, and absolutely none with tresor. Later it turns into a sweeter vanilla base that lasts and lasts. Happening upon a young girl, Julia gifts her the box, accompanied by a warm embrace. I tried it once and I had to wash it off, it was so strong on me, purely vanilla. A bit of orange making it smell happy, but that's only for a couple of minutes. Well crap,,I guess I can’t wear it.... 1. One of the best fragrances of all times, the first one with a palatable STRONG sweet base, deplorably ruined by mass use. I love this perfume, I can definitely smell a sweet truffle scent going on. This is REALLY sweet initially then dries down into the sweet fuzziness I smelled on a friend; I could detect other notes, not sure what they are. I tried this perfume many times because we had this tester at work and it was sprayed a lot and I must admit I dislike it. 4.7 out of 5 stars 76. You are having 0 respect for the stomachs of people around you. I possibly get some tonka bean which adds that hint of ‘smokeyness’ or ‘toasted’, or maybe even a little nutty background. I've sampled this at least 3 times and I don't understand the mass appeal, at all. La Vie Est Belle by Lancome is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women.La Vie Est Belle was launched in 2012.

Which gives me mixed feelings because I don't really enjoy wearing it. I know that a lot of people wear this perfume, but I have to say, it’s inevitable. Definitely a crowd pleaser. It's that type of perfume that could suit all occasions, and that you wear all the time. Unfortunately, I don't see myself wearing it again as I risk suffocating everyone around me (including myself). I often layered Mugler Angel with the exclamation and got a scent extremely similar to this, which I love.. imagine my delight when I discovered LVEB. No matter how common this fragrance is, I just can’t get rid of it. It amuses me all the reviews complaining everyone wears it so that somehow reduces the appeal of it. So, when I received a sample of it, I tried it for several days and to be quite honest, it wasn't that sweet nor heavy. perhaps would be a good scent for someone beginning to explore the perfume world, but doesn't require bravery to wear like some others. Oh well... who cares? And the smell itself has changed. It smells like perfume, vaguely as in "this person is wearing perfume and it smells sweet but there's nothing really standing out about it apart from the fact that it is, indeed, perfume". I usually don't mind very sweet perfumes, but I can't stand super synthetic sickly sweet ones and this is unfortunately one of them. This perfume had to grow on me. This fragrance might be the best gourmand fruitchouli ever created. When I first sniffed it years ago, I thought it smelled generic, overly sweet and kind of cheap, I didn’t give it a chance to develop. Not here to yuck anyone’s yum, just personally disappointed in this one. Tested from a sample and the smell gave me mental picture of baked tomatoes with tons of sugar. It's popular for a reason. Reminds me of a magazine with all the sample page scents combined into one grating aromatic blob of a scent. It is a very well blended fragrance, however after spraying some today at a Lancome counter, it doesn’t smell the same anymore on me. I have mixed feelings about this. The flacon is a redesigned version of the classic Lancome bottle from 1949. I've never really liked many Lancome perfumes and I figured I wouldn't like this one either. I adore LVEB. I can see why so many people like this, but this is honestly just the most revolting and nauseating perfume I've ever tried. The first thing I smelled when I sprayed this was weirdly cherry Sprite to the point where I could almost smell carbonation from the projection. I will start with a bottle, because there is a visible difference on it. the initial spray was pleasant, but i must admit this scent does not excite me. I haven’t found ONE that matches up to the beauty of La Vie Est Belle. Maybe my skin changed with age or hormones but it appeared less ‘choky’ and the lasting power was less than 3 hours. I recommend testing the new version, because the differences are significant. Once it dries down, I get a heavy patchouli as well as a near cloying sweetness that I am unable to detect any notes from. Good god, such an overhyped cheap scent. This perfume is lovely, but it did not smell good on me. It opens with a sugary fruit on me. The composition’s opening provides fruity flavors of black currant and pear, while the base is warm, gourmand and powdery due to almond-like accords of tonka bean, praline, patchouli and vanilla. I wish I had discovered it sooner because I am in LOVE with it! The patchouli is very soft in the drydown. Painful to smell. Pretty bottle, but this scent is soooo cloying and sickly sweet. It's a perfume of quality. This scent on opening is undeniably Lancome and evokes the memory (or at least the "feeling") of some of their other fragrances. Meh. When my bottle is finished, I will look at the flankers. After smelling it on a friend who was wearing it during a hike, of all things...I asked what perfume she was wearing and when she said it was Lancome LVEB I thought ‘Oh wow, how could this sweet, mainstream, fragrance appeal to me? That's genuine for sure. The fragrance is perfect from autumn to spring, as well as for evening outings. Lancôme is the type of company that usually launches great fragrances, which become a sales success, every five years or so. I have never tried it before until yesterday.

It seems to be made more for the night rather than for the day and especially for the workplace. While I normally prefer fresh/citrus fragrances, I absolutely love this and don’t find it to be too sweet. Projection is a few feet, sillage can be 2+ days on clothes. Flowerbomb, on the other hand, rounds out the sugar scent with a bit of spice and tartness that I feel elevates it to being a more womanly scent. I’ve been wearing La Vie Est Belle since 2013. This one gets compared to V+F Flowerbomb a lot. I just get this strong sweet sugar scent. This is just a diabetic generic bomb. Not for demure wallflower types, maybe even a little bit trampy.. right up my alley! I get a lot of compliments on this. It is a must for gourmand lovers.

I can’t find anything redeeming about it besides the strong projection, but even then with a fragrance this intensely nauseating that is a huge con for me. For those who love it, just use it.
