Abbey

Sugar-Crystal-Textured PEAR-SORBET with JASMINE, Iris & Sandalwood-Patchouli Base. This is an affordable dupe of La Vie Est Belle Lancome with good approximation & average or slightly above average performance. Opens with a burst of pear-sorbet with hints of blackberry that has a granular texture found in sorbet. That deepens into the jasmine, iris & orange-blossom heart with white-floral, clean & powdery touches, all resting on a sweet & creamy vanilla-sandalwood & patchouli base with hints of musk & amber. Performance is lighter than LVEB but easier to wear year-round imho. For what it is, it's a love for me. Enjoy!

This is such a beautiful scent. I don't get anything heavy like patchouli. It does not remind me of Le Vie Est Belle one bit. It is simple, but beautiful. All I get it light, airy florals with fruity sweetness. I don't get anything heavy or any vanilla at all. Doesn't mean it isn't there, but on me, it is the prettiest floral. I was a floral hater before this scent. This is the one that converted me. It's like spending spring in a field of flowers.

Yay! I’m so happy this fragrance has been added into the database. Abbey is a really pretty, sweet, and feminine fragrance. It reminds me of a softer La Vie Est Belle, minus the black currant and praline. This is light enough to wear for many occasions, and offers moderate performance and soft to moderate projection. The packaging is really beautiful as well, being soft and iridescent.

The orange, pear, iris and jasmine are the main notes I'm picking up in this perfume. It's actually really pretty and my second fav English laundry perfume. I have femme and had the primrose perfume from them as well but gave primrose to my daughter because it wasn't mature enough for me. Femme is so beautiful I sleep in it but this little gem is a good for any time except sleep. Kinda getting cotton candy vibes, this is pretty. I like this one a lot.

A fun wear. Gentle spicy sweet. Doesn't remind me of an English garden, but it's a mood-booster. It's so easygoing. A pretty patchouli. Well blended "sweet powdery floral" (I get mostly iris), but it's mainly about the patchouli on me. I actually enjoy this one much more than I thought (and patchouli isn't the easiest note on me).
