The first fragrance to truly capture my heart. I love this scent so much, I wear it regardless of whether I'm staying at home or going out - It is as much for my enjoyment as it is for others. It has a sweet, almost buttery aroma due to the use of iris and gourmand. This culminates in a scent that you'll find addictive and worth every cent.

La Vie Est Belle by LANCOME . “La vie est belle”, a French expression meaning “Life is beautiful”; the manifesto of a new era. Universal yet personal, Lancôme’s femininity is a choice embraced by women, not an imposed standard. The choice to live one’s life and fill it with beauty. Your own way.
LANCOME has long fostered this conviction, and shares it today with all women in the form of an exceptional creation. The fragrance of joyful femininity and happiness. The fragrance that makes life more beautiful.
La vie est belle introduces a new olfactive story, the first ever iris gourmand. The juice is made with the most precious natural ingredients, a modern interpretation of an oriental fragrance with a twist of gourmand. It entwines the elegance of iris with the strength of Patchouli and the sweetness of a gourmand blend; for an incredible scent with depth and complexity.

La Vie Est Beautiful
Tips: Spritz on your wrists and dab under your ears, this will warm the scent an help it eminate from the body. Do not rub the perfume into the skin, as this bruises the scent - dab it across an area instead. These techniques will ensure the fragrance lasts longer and is more pronounced.

This is Beautiful!
I collect perfumes and this is by far my number one scent - elegant, classy, soft, delicate, overall just stunning! It has great "staying" power on my skin (at least an 8 hour wear after one application) so I get to wear it more often and the bottle has lasted for ages. Hopefully Lancôme don't discontinue it anytime soon, I'd be devastated!

La Vie est Belle... Life is Beautiful
I received this for christmas and was unsure about it initially. I usually tend toward fresh crisp scents rather than sweet but after wearing it on a few occasions and getting masses of compliments, I have to say I have grown to love it! It has amazing staying power and the scent gets better the longer it is on my skin. Love the packaging and love the name.
Tips: A little goes a long way

The nicest perfume I have ever smelt
I love LOVE this one. I smelt it months ago & obsessed about it for months & months until I finally picked up a bottle as part of a gift set the other day. I feel so beautiful when I wear this. im no expert on perfume scents but I always seem to detect abit of spice along with the sweetness of this perfume when i first put it on. It then settles down to a nice powdery feel that seems to last all day on me. I wouldnt bother with the shower gel (this smelt nothing like the perfume) or the body lotion. The lotion had the same smell but my husband didn't feel it enhanced the wear at all.

Another Flowerbomb...
Another annoying sweet candy floss type scent (reminiscent of Flowerbomb or Pink Sugar) with a bit of musk and patchouli going on in the background. I just don't care for these type of scents - just not original in any way shape or form.

Life is Beautiful
This is a very elegant and soft fragrance, it has a subtle sweet scent. It is very similar to Flowerbomb, the only difference i find is that Flowerbomb has a much stronger floral scent compared to La Vie Est Belle which is more subtle and gentle in it's tone of floral scent. A great perfume to wear everyday, would make a great gift, or for that special occasion.

Sweet
This is one of those perfumes that has been compared to Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb many times (much like Pink Happiness Delicate moments-Revlon.)
I can't compare the two having never tried Flowerbomb.
La Vie Est Belle is a very strong, almost mid 90's type of perfume. Despite having gourmand notes, I do not find this similar to the majority of candy like perfumes currently on the market.
At times this does have a fairly synthetic type of smell. Overall though, I would describe this perfume as having a scent like burnt sugar-almost cloying, but somehow still pleasant.
Tips: This has amazing sillage and longevity. A little goes a long way so avoid over spraying to avoid getting a head ache

I got it as a present and to be honest was not really looking forward to using it once I read it has floral notes in it. But unlike any other floral perfume, it's not necessarily sweet, it's mild. It's subtle. Beautiful indeed!
Tips: I spray my perfume on my throat and the cleavage. I find that I don't have to spray as much as it lingers for awhile.
