La Vie Est Belle Bouquet de Printemps

First of, we have to admit that La Vie Est Belle is a very successful fragrance, whether we like it or not, it is. BUT, the flankers are more worthy than the Original in my opinion, and that's why they are being released more often than any. And Bouquet De Printemps flanker, as the Florale and the Intense, is also better than its predecessor. It's the enough sweet. This is the amount of sweet the perfumes ideally should have. Lancome, might have put some serious thinking in LVEB line, and decided to change the amount of sweetness in each flanker. This is sweet but sweet good not sweet bad. Of course the Intense flanker is unbeatable within the LVEB range, with its chocolatey smooth iris, but the Bouquet De Printemps is also worthy of a sniffing at least. More notes than the ones listed? Absolutely, but for a very little time in the beginning of wear time. Opens with an orange blossom dipped in praline sugar juice, the sweetness is tolerable though; obviously, the audience needs its usual LVEB feel. Turns into a very prominent orange blossom, very sweet, I think the bergamot is the culprit, but be patient. It does tame into a sweet heady jasmine, which I'm very fond of. Jasmine lovers who wish for a sweet twist in their favorite floral should really give Bouquet De Printemps a chance. Has a certain amount of chic in it.Well done Lancome.

It's currently my favourite La Vie Est Belle flanker. Works in summer. The original is already very good, but heavy and with one off note on me. This is similar: intense, dense and enveloping but well-blended with pear and evident florals that add sparkle and light, without weak points. The fruit and flowers make it more spacious and beautiful. It might be my La Vie Est Belle no1 competing with Iris Absolu which I know only from tests however. Out of the family I know and have my rating would be: 1. La Vie Est Belle Bouquet de Printemps 2. La Vie Est Belle L'Eau de Parfum Legere 3. La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu 4. La Vie Est Belle L'Eau de Toilette 5. La Vie Est Belle Too much is happening in the LVEB family for me to keep up with it. Especially since I am satisfied with my lot. On my wishlist La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu & La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire. La Vie est Belle L'Extrait is a disappointment to me based on tests. A very lovable family. Hard to choose a clear favourite. I would not mind having them all, but the classic I can wear only sometimes as it overwhelms me. And just in case I wear the flankers only from time to time. They are all a bit diva. In my review from 2017 I listed all the notes this beauty has. Fragrantica sadly lists only three.

Transversal notes: Iris, Lily of the Valley Top notes: Pear, Bergamot Essence Heart notes: Lily of the Valley absolute, Orange Blossom absolute and Jasmine Sambac absolute Base notes: Pallida Iris concrete, Heart of Patchouli essence Please, Fragrantica update the notes. This floral gourmand gem has more notes that listed :) I have it on me - as of today, one of the few in LVEB family that does not suffocate me :) Reminds me a bit of the milky LVEB edt. I like this version very much, the classic LVEB is too heavy for me.

My bottle just arrived today, and OMG It has a beautiful white floral smell, but yet it also heavily reminded me of the original. It was so reminiscent of the original to the point where I applied both to make sure they weren’t the exact same scent. Needless to say, this IS different than the original. It’s DNA is identical minus the earthy green caramel accord. It is sad that this is a discontinued limited edition. White floral fragrances are always the best for my nose and chemistry.

blind buy as it was on 50% off my local parfumerie. tried it against original LVEB. original is definitely something like a favorite cashmere sweater on rainy November day or Christmas party event scent. BUT Bouquet de Printemps is like happy spring walk in the meadow - something you remember long time later and keep respraying for the memory sake when the weather calls for light, sweet feminine scent you want to be known for. just wow
