I smell rose. I normally do not like rose scented fragrances or soap/bodywash and it has a tad bit too much but I am impressed with the way this is blended with the other notes. It's very nice and I have never smelled La vie est belle so I can't make that comparison. When I smell it right at the nozzle I can smell something sweet then immediately after spraying I smell citrus-y rose and another floral that I don't think is jasmine (pretty sure it's not) so it must be the iris and in dry down and I can smell a bit of vanilla then pachouli and tonka bean. It must be the rose and iris that some will claim is "old lady smell", florals that harken back to a time past when they used those scent notes a lot more. This is well done. I am increasingly impressed with Arabian fragrances, even some of the budget fragrances have depth that a lot of American fragrances are lacking. But like most affordable fragrances from anywhere, longevity is lacking. Here are the notes that are missing above:·Top Notes: Top: Blackcurrant, Pear ·Middle Notes: Iris, Jasmine, Orange blossom ·Base Notes: Almond candy, Vanilla, Patchouli, Tonka bean

This is an exact dupe of Lancome La vie est belle I literally don’t smell any difference !
