About This Perfume
Think powdery vanilla tea with praline and pears: that is Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Limited Edition. It opens with black currant and pear, moves into iris, orange blossom and jasmine and settles on praline, patchouli and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2021.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?

Scent profiles of the picks
For Lancôme La Vie Est Belle (Eau de Parfum, 2012), expect sweet pear and blackcurrant wrapped in vanilla: blackcurrant and pear up top, praliné, patchouli and tonka bean underneath. Lancôme Idôle (Eau de Parfum Intense, 2019) comes across as fresh pear and rose powder with soft vanilla-cedar, with pear and Italian bergamot at the start and Bourbon vanilla, Indonesian patchouli and Texas cedar at the base. Lancôme La Nuit Trésor (Eau de Parfum, 2015) reads as warm caramel coffee with ripe strawberry fruit, opening on pear and tangerine and drying down to praline, caramel and vanilla.
