Boss Ma Vie L'Eau

Love love love this scent. It was a pleasant surprise for me since I kind of got it by accident and didn't think much of how it smelled on the test strip. A beautiful floral scent. Only complaint: it doesn't last very long

Very interesting scent. Found this on sale at the airport in tax free, and couldn't pass it up as I liked the sparkly vibe in the opening. Its very sparkly, like a champagne or soda, without being sour, and with the unusual almost fruity cactus flower. I actually haven't smelled anything similar to this. The opening last quite a while on me, and even after a few hours I keep getting whiffs of it, and its just so fresh, quite linear actually, which is not bad. I only used it in the winter months, and I am looking forward to see how it will perform on warm summer days. Update: ooooh it performs so well, this has become one of my favourites, it truly works in all seasons, temperatures and weather. When I think it works best is in the dead of summer to freshen everything up in the unbearable heat, or when its super cold and snowy, then it just becomes even more crisp and sparkly.

I got this as a blind buy but I've read about it before and was looking forward to the cactus note. I feel like this is the most ultra feminine scent I have despite the cedar base. It's beautiful. I don't know if it was that I tried it in cold weather or what but the peony note was really shrill. The cactus evened it out and smelled amazing and the magnolia is nice. Maybe I don't like peony anymore... Anyway I find it comparable to love story edt by chloe but better because the cactus evens it out a bit. I find I would wear this when I'm wearing heels, which is almost never. But once and a while if I need to emanate pink it's nice. But like I said, we've just started fall and I'm all about spices and warmth right now when I'm typically not a sweets girl. Maybe try again in a few seasons.

I really enjoy this edt version! It has that distinct cactus note that I like in the edp. The peony adds a little sour freshness, steering it into spring/summer territory. This freshness is nicely balanced by the creamy magnolia, making it softer (i.e. less sour, not referring to sillage) and easy to wear. It is worth noting that l'eau is much sweeter than the original edp - as I said: perfect for sunny weather. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is it sophisticated and complicated? Not so much. Do you need the edt next to the edp? Probably not. All I can say is: I like it, it makes me feel happy and cheerful. Solid reason for an FB.

I'm still not sure about the cactus flower notes, but I definitely sense peony, a mild rose and some magnolia. Just like Florale version, it reminds me of shower gel or shampoo. Very simple, fresh and uplifting. Nice, but nothing out of ordinary. Wouldn't mind it, but probably wouldn't buy it.

Hmmm.. it's quite generic. Floral and feminine but that's it. It also doesn't last very long, which is a pity. Update: ooooh its soapy. After smelling it on myself for a while.. Its not bad at all. Smells like a nice floral shower gel.

Tested this earlier on a piece of paper and finally today on my wrist. My oh my, this is lovely! Classy and nice, not too strong. Initial blast is wonderfully refreshing and even sour, then it dries down to a nice fresh floral.

Tested this one again, and its like a soda pop, sparkling and youthful. It actually reminds me a bit of Adidas Fizzy energy. This does not have the amber that I believe turned the Florale flanker into an instant scrubber.

Nice daytime fragrance - I’ve bought a full bottle and am really enjoying it. Clean and floral, I love wearing it during the day, especially at the office or when working from home, as it makes me feel put together.

I really like this. Simple, light, clean. Reminds me of a softer Naturally Fierce by Abercrombie - it’s the cactus flower note. Really pleased to pick this up for £15.

Nice, unobtrusive, good for work as stillage is very soft. Unfortunately it does not last long.

Delicate, light peony and freesia fragrance. I like this one more from the line.

I received a sample of BMV L'Eau. Commerically appealing, this is a very light, inoffensive and feminine scent, ideal for daytime and work wear. While it does smell synthetic, this scent is light enough that it remains acceptable. I would like to compare it to the EDP or Intense versions in order to find out if it remains as pleasant in stronger concentrations. Doubtful, as even this light iteration starts to irritate my nose before it fades. The opening is bright and refreshing, mostly aquatic with delicate yet generic blossom notes creeping in after it settles. This combination of notes is light and summery. It develops into a deeper floral scent with peony coming to the fore, and the freshness gives way to soft sweetness. Cactus blossom seems like an interesting note, but there was nothing unusual or distinctive about its presence. As it dries down, the florals fade gradually, and the fizzy aquatic accord gives way to a delicate musky undertone. Some soft woody notes join the drydown, and it fades to a sweetly musky, powdery skin scent after about two hours. Sillage is moderate but fleeting, and longevity is weak, to be expected for an EDT marketed as "L'Eau". While this is nothing special, as well as being too light, girly and synthetic for my taste, it is discreet and reasonably pleasant. D&G Light Blue but feminine. 2/5.

I got it as a gift from my mom years ago, in my early twenties, it was a blind buy from her part. I remember wearing it daily when I started working at my first job, which I really really hated, and I just can’t help it, it reminds me of that time in my life, so I never returned to it. It is an ok, office safe, conformist, nice floral scent. It’s pretty; I’d probably appreciate it more on someone else.

I got it as a gift. Generally I am more gourmand, sweet and kinda fruity girl so this is definitely not my scent. Doesn’t smell bad, just not my taste. Too floral, sharp, lasts short and silage is very weak. Overpriced in my opinion, definitely not worth the money.

Good fresh summer perfume in the EAU version, vaguely similar to Blooming Bouquet by Dior, perhaps more anonymous than the first but still a good perfume for me, fresh sparkling initially with the more flowery cactus flower in the heart remaining on the fresh and clean that distinguishes these types of perfumes. Good sillage and good durability considering the very low price on various sites I definitely recommend trying it if you obviously love these types of perfumes

this feels very poppy moore in wild child. its sharp, its a bit bitchy, but fresh. it's a very teenage fragrance but not in a cheugy way, it's just very free and unrestrained. only con is that its so intense on application, and fades quite quick and has mediocre sillage imo. i do find this quite an interesting scent. its not one i can wear every day, but when i do feel unrestrained i do :)

Blind bought this about a month or so ago and I've been wearing it but it's been a few weeks. I have it on today and I was thinking this has a watery scent in the background so I came and read the notes and I guess I'm smelling what is described as "dew". Yes this has a watery scent to it so I understand the description and composition.

Just passed by the front desk at work and smelled a lovely trail of soft, flowery gentle powder. There was no one there so I waited until the nurse came back and asked her What's she wearing, she said Boss Ma vie, so I came here to write that I find the scent very lovely and comforting. Not loud, office friendly.

Not my favorite from this line. The Cactus Flower is a bit too intense for me, and it doesn't pairs well with the magnolia. Apart from that, longevity is terrible. in less than 2 hours it is completely gone.

Soft, floral, bright, fresh and uplifting. I'm craving this scent profile this September 😍 just a sheer pretty floral, can't go wrong.

Lesson learnt with this one for me: steer clear of the cactus note. This smells awful on me. Somewhere between body odor and cat pee.

Peony gem 💎 Pretty floral powdered and fresh, very similar to Lanvin Me L'Eau, Chloe by Chloe and Bright Crystal

Love the original (never tested florale and intense properly)...this one sounds really appealing for spring!

The cactus is sharp and reminiscent of citrus peel, so I wouldn't describe this fragrance as soft.
