I love this perfume and it doesn’t bother my allergies. It is a strong fragrance, truth be told I wear it to smell good and to mask the smell of others. (Mostly my students)nj

Every generation has a Lancome signature powerhouse perfume.
Presently its La Vie Est Belle.
Some people say it’s tired, too common, etc but I’m still in love with this unapologetic fratchuli confection.
It’s very much of it’s time.
At the time it was launched, in 2012, I was a die hard Miss Dior fan. The 2012 formulation was my signature scent. Something about the way they did the patchouli worked great with my skin chemistry. But then they reformulated it to a ghost of it’s former self and sadly I had to move on.
This is when I fell in love with LVEB. The patchouli is sharper than MD but not in a way that pulls masculine after shave on me like Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle does. Out of all the big 2010s fratchulis, LVEB is the last one to retain its original power and depth of formulation. It is still Perfume with a capital P.
Pear is a ubiquitous note in the sweet formulations of 2010 to the present. The black current is reminiscent of Armani’s Si but LVEB is sweeter, deeper and has that signature Lancome DNA. When you wear this there is no doubt you are wearing Lancome, in a good way.
The juice is the high quality that Lancome is known for. It’s mid range expensive but you get a lot of mileage for you money as opposed to some of the other trendy 3 digit fragrances that dissipate in under 3 hours. LVEB will stay with you through a full work day.
Pictured is my half ounce purse spray and you can see I’ve made a bit of a dent in it but a little goes a very long way so it will last me quite a while.
What else can I say? LVEB is one of those either you love it or hate it. For me its still a love.

I Do The Speed Limit –
I live far from a large city, so I have to travel 30-45 minutes to get to a mall with a perfume bar in order to test fragrances. That would be fine–if they had any testers……And the four-letter M store hardly ever has more than a few, and nobody knows when a new supply will be coming in…..Anybody else stuck with the same situation?
So I sometimes buy online. And I took a chance on this Lancôme La Vie Est Bell perfume last week. And it is a chance, isn’t it? Because nobody has the same smeller, nor the same body and skin. So reviews hold true for some and not others. I guess that is my Disclaimer…..
One has to perceive this perfume in a different frame of mind than a less expensive perfume. Hey, I buy a lot of Snif and will continue to be a fan of that brand forever, so I feel I can say that without being condescending.
But I love rose fragrances and I really like this one. It is intriguing. It has depth, and is not light and “fresh”. It goes on spicy and floral. It loses it spiciness soon and leaves a pleasant floral scent, with some rose buried in there. After many hours there is a sweet vanilla scent that lingers lightly.
I do not find it to potent. I only need one good spritz of this to carry me through the day. I would do more on date night. If you spritz like you do for a less expensive scent, you will be overpowered by this.
