10 reviews for La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme
We present 10 real reviews from women who describe their feelings from this fragrance in an interesting, colorful and sometimes humorous way. It is easy to understand from them that even in a rather simple sweet perfume, everyone hears something different.
1. Pear and Coco Mademoiselle
I wish I had discovered it earlier! I know it's super mainstream, everyone wears it, but I'm not a perfume snob. It reminds me a little of Coco Mademoiselle, as if the pyramid is similar. And this pear - wow! I never thought that I would like pear in perfumery, but in this fragrance everything is done SO RIGHT! I usually didn’t like Lancôme perfumes and thought I wouldn’t like that either. But I definitely found a new perfume darling.
2. Black currant with black currant
The perfume is wearable and generally quite pleasant, but not worth the money! When I tested it, I was very disappointed. I expected more, but all I felt were very sweet black currants, black currants, black currants and a little more black currants.
3. Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, but without flowers
Lancôme Miracle has been my signature scent for many years, and in general I really like Lancôme scent. It is similar to Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb, but Flowerbomb is sweet and flowery and La Vie Est Belle is sweet and gourmand.
I like it and it doesn't seem too heavy. This is a great scent for every day (you need 1-2 puffs), not seasonal. I understand what people mean when they say there is nothing special about it, but it still smells great!
4. Unbearable synthetic sweetness
My mom bought this perfume when it was new, but after a while she stopped liking it and she gave it to me. I really liked it at first! Sweet, elegant, persistent. But I can't take it anymore... There is something rubbery and synthetic about this scent. It's too sweet. Now another person has this bottle, and she likes it! Forgive me all who love him, but he makes me sick.
5. From "cheap" to your favorite scent
When I first felt it on my wrist, I thought, “How cheap! Is it Lancôme? And then my client started using it, and I really liked it. The whole room smelled of her perfume even a few hours after she left. I decided to try it on myself again, and now it is one of my favorite scents. It's just important not to overdo it with quantity.
6. Perfect toilet freshener
May I be honest? I use this scent as a toilet freshener. It's too heavy for me. It is not suitable for the office, it is impossible to enter the transport in it, it causes a headache. It's omnipresent, overwhelming, and all I hear are sweet sugar notes. Nothing complicated or tasty. But to give it credit: it completely destroys any other odor within 5 miles of it. So this is the pride of my washroom.
7. Sticky sugar syrup
I hear a furious biscuit soaked in syrup. I hate to smell food, but it's interesting, not for everybody. Apparently I'm not a fan. After application, it almost came to glitches that my neck was in sticky sugar syrup. I wanted to wash it off. Eh ...
8. A precious masterpiece for early spring
Incredible happiness! And again I made friends with him, with this precious masterpiece! And again love! I made friends with these patchouli, which terrified me in winter. Surprisingly, the fragrance positions itself as "winter", but it was during this cold season that I could not wear it, and made friends only in early spring, in a slight minus. In addition to patchouli, an incredibly elegant iris revealed on me.
9. I only hear patchouli
All I hear is patchouli. Everyone writes about candy, nuclear sweetness. Even enviable. For the second year I can't wear it because of the lethal dose of patchouli. I only hear them. I bought the first bottle as soon as it came out, not knowing anything about its wild popularity. I liked it very much, received compliments, put my mother on him. Mom was tired first. And now I am. Everything about him has already been written. I decided to review it after seeing a similar opinion about patchouli. If you love them, take them. The weight is in them, not in the sweetness.
10. Better flanker La Vie Est Belle L'Éclat
I bought the original La Vie Est Belle because I have several Lancôme fragrances. It's beautiful, but too heavy for me. I prefer the flanker La Vie Est Belle L'Éclat to the original. Even in cold weather, I would prefer La Nuit Trésor than La Vie Est Belle.
