This is nowadays one those perfumes you just smell everywhere. Some people doesn’t seem to know how to handle this frag, so basically this is the new Escada! Except it isn’t only the teenagers who wear this. Some classy older ladies also seem to like this, and.. There is still a lot of comparison to the Flowerbomb fragrance. But I, in particular, feel that the latter has more floral content.
I normally don’t like patchouli much, but I don’t mind it here. There’s enough sugar and vanilla to cover up what Estee Lauder makeup I don’t like. I despised Angel’s patchouli, but this seems much softer and more tolerable and less dirty.
A couple of the flankers are wonderful for summer though. I actually find the flankers in this range stay true to the pillar fragrance while offering a little something new and are worth a sample genifique especially the L’Eclat and Intense. The strongest and longest lasting perfume I have EVER smelled. Very overpowering and the scent, while strong, is pretty sickeningly sweet and offensive.
Really that’s pretty meaningless though, all that matters is what you as an individual feels about it. If I liked the scent more, I would’ve considered buying it for fall / winter, but there is a strong smell of what to me smells like Play-Doh! Bizarre, but it’s present and I unfortunately can’t get past it. It’s probably the heavy vanilla + praline combination haha.
It was a great transition from my younger gourmand teen years into a woman who respects fragrance so much more. I can see why older women call it cloying and overwhelming. To a young me though it was just what I needed to get me to the next stage in my fragrance journey into my adulthood. For that I thank this perfume, it really opened my eyes to understanding how perfume can work and finding a signature scent. It is very strong and reminds me of perfumes that older women would wear when I was younger.
It’s like a clingy spouse, once it’s on, it’s not going anywhere. This smells very sweet and high quality. I really like this one, I think it’s inoffensive and agreeable. I can definitely smell the vanilla, praline, and patchouli. Longevity is great, and so is sillage, therefore please use lightly!!

To many experts, the use of iris is the key ingredient in La Vie Est Belle as this provides the bridge between the top, middle, and base layers. Of all the fall fragrances we studied and sprayed, these are most likely to send a guy into a slightly-obsessed-with-you state of mind. Intrepid fragrance explorer Courtney Dunlop uncovers informs history of how culture informs what smells good to us. Perfume experts, designers, and fashion-savvy women reveal the secrets to discovering the fragrances that suit your style.
Lasts very long into the day on the skin and forever on fabric. What I’d say is that it has a high sillage even with a tiny spray which lasts for days in clothes, if not longer. I’d recommend to someone confident who perhaps lives the concept of oud but finds it overpowering as some do. This is the perfect alternative for a spicy and woody yet sexy and womanly scent. The hype made by lots of YouTubers made me buy a sample and has built up my excitement and expectations- instantly crushed after lol. The people I imagine this wearing are much older women.
I really wanted to respond with “because I don’t use deodorant and I only take bubble baths” from big mouth but had to tell her the truth. I’m not sure about the noted similarity to flowerbomb because I’ve only smelled it once and it’s been some time ago. 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!
