La Vie Est Belle L’Eau de Toilette Florale

Okay, I am feeling the need to leave a review for this one. I love LVEB and own it in several of it's guises (the original, Intense, L'absolut and now this one) and while yes, I agree with so many that it is insane that one perfume can have so many versions, I can honestly say they really ARE all different from one another! If you wear them alternately one day after the next, it really hits you just how different they are! Anyway, back to Florale! I had never tried the EDT version, so really wasn't sure what to expect from this in any way at all. In my head I assumed it would be weaker and softer and kinda fade away to not much in 3-4 hours - well wasn't I wrong! Firstly I have to say, this little beauty seems to last on me for ages! I sprayed a tester on me about 11am in a shop, and the following morning at 7am when I woke, I could still smell it! Amazing! Now as to the smell, on first spray, sure, I just thought 'it's LVEB without the harsh note' - (quick note here, much as I absolutely adore fragrance, I am no professional and can not start naming ingredients, I can only compare and describe to the best of my ability!) - but that changed pretty quickly. For sure, that sharpness of the original is definitely absent, this is softer, smoother and to be fair, heavenly! Yes, as it's name suggests, it is more floral than the original, but I get a kind of honey smell to it too, which is just delicious. As it warms up on your skin and develops, to my nose it becomes a combination of LVEB (unmistakeably) but with a lovely edge of Lady Gaga's Fame Black Fluid, which I love, but vanishes on me in about an hour. This is truly the best of both worlds. With Florale, I get the lovely LVEB trademark scent, but softer and smoother rather than weaker as I expected. I am just so impressed with it for an EDT and indeed as a flanker it really does set itself apart. I can easily wear it in the daytime, or I can also definitely see myself using it on a summers night evening. It's a little bit of heaven that puts a smile on my face and a glow in my heart! Florale, I love you <3

It's not a real review since It's the first time I'm trying it but I know that I need to have this beauty ASAP As someone who never haved or loved original la vie,it's funny that I love it's flankers so deeply Intense version is among my favorites and I find edt very addictive.I didn't expect to love floral version because it's notes aren't very interesting for me Just like the intense version this one has it's original personality while sharing a common DNA with original It's really sweet but it doesn't have much of burnt sugary kind of sweetness that original edp and also edt have.nevertheless it's strange that there's no sweet/gourmand note listed.I expected to see praline or maybe caramel/vanilla? something that could explain it's juicy sweetness in opening and it's creamy sweetness later on.but as I said sweetness is more tamed here thanks tobsoft,powdery florals.it's more sparkly with more flowers and also a lot more fruits.maybe cassis and osmanthus are making me to think of fruits here,donno,the only thing I know is,this one is different enough to compell me to buy it and it's very delicious and super feminine with all these sweet,powdery florals Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be very longlasting on me.I sprayed it 5 hours ago and I can't smell even slightest trace of it.while blumarine rose which I sprayed on my other hand is still there.but I can't judge with a single test and the most important thing is,it is very potent while it lasts and this is more important for me I don't see it as a summer scent.it's too sweet for hot weather.but mild to cool spring and fall days sound appropriate Gonna edit as soon as I buy my own bottle and can't wait long

I hate lancome la vie este belle.it's very cheap heavy headacky and shouts for attention.maybe I hate it more because every woman in street and every where use it.most of them it's fake.with twenty sprays even in hot days!when I smell it I feel I can't breath but this one.it's one of best perfumes in my life.it's very different.very classy lux feminine beautiful!I don't like la vie este belle and I don't like floral perfumes so I didn't think I love it but I do.it's sweet and there's flowers and fruits that I don't know.I can just smell iris.it's something you can't forget.it smells very expensive very high class and rich and very sweet powdery but not headache making.Longevity and sillage are great.I will buy four or five boxes of it for spring 10/10 من از لانکوم لاویه استه بله متنفرم.عطر چیپ و سنگین و سردردی و جلب توجهی هست.شاید بخاطر این خیلی بدم میاد که در خیابان و همه جا همه استفاده نی کنند اون هم اکثرا فیکش را اون هم بیست تا اسپری حتی تو هوای گرم!با همین کارها این عطر را خز کردن درحدیکه الان اگه بوش بهم بخوره نفسم میگیره.این نوع فلورالش اما فرق داره.بی همتا هست رویایی شیک فنسی تجملاتی لطیف زنانه.اوج شیکی هست.چون هم لاویه بله را بدم میلد هم عطرهای فلورال را اصلا فکر نمی کردم از این خوشم بیاد اما عاشقش شدم.شیرین هست و پودری و گلها و میوه ها را نمیشه تشخیص داد البته به جز زنبق.شیرینی این عطر خیلی فرق داره.گران و های کلس و لوکس هست.خیلی خانم هست.واقعا زیباست.ماندگاری و پخش عالی..برای عید حتما می خرمش و حداقل چهار پنج تا دیگه هم ازش می گیرم و نگه میدارم ۱۰/۱۰

I never liked La vie est belle, not that it's a bad perfume but it's too edgy. It could be either sickly sweet or unpleasantly synthetic and sharp. It's ok for all ages since it has so many editions but please, please don't over use it! Lancome's quality is more than great and it doesn't need more than 2 sprays to be noticed. I decided to try Florale although I am not a floral type. I am more on the gourmand side. What I really dislike in LVEB-EDP is the 'dirty' patchouli, the 'sour' combination of black currant-praline and the fight between super strong and a bit darky notes, against sweeter/fruitier one. In the beginning I was so impressed from LVEB-Florale. I thought that it could be a huge like but really fast it became exactly the same with the original, plus it's more sharp. I shouldn't expect more, it's the same name, different edition of the perfume but Osmanthus is the main character and it makes it so similar to Flowerbomb from Viktor & Rorlf. I have to find the more gourmandise edition of LVEB and who knows? Maybe I'll fall in love. Quality is indisputably good but... p.s: Although it's a more formal/business type of smell, if you use it together with a refreshing neutral body lotion and you decide to wear it for night time clubbing, you'll have the absolute summer perfume! In a smokey environment it becomes an attention getter because of the sharp character. Thumbs up Lancome!

This edition of La Vie est Belle, EDT Florale is really pretty. While it maintains the DNA of the original, this Floral version is less sickly sweet and more complex in the sense that it has so many varieties of flowers: mimosa, violets, jasmine, iris, rose, freesia, orange blossoms, magnolia and osmanthus. Mimosa was originally my favourite yellow flower, before discovering ylang ylang. Mimosa combined with violets give perfumes such a sweet powdery facet, while the addition of osmanthus flower gives a subtle peachy effect. Jasmine flower comes across very strong blended with a subdued rose, freesias and orange blossom. The sweetness of all these flowers and of the amberwood from the base is counterbalanced by green, fresh currants buds and patchouli plus zestiness from the bergamot. As a flanker, this Floral version is very well done and more balanced and nuanced than the original! It brings a bit of freshness and a bunch of different flowers to the sweetness and powderiness of the OG LVEB. For an EDT this performs impeccably, more like a regular perfume. It’s strong, intense and has very good sillage. This is not a summertime floral scent, more of a spring and fall scent! It was a limited edition release and I back in the days, I was a huge fan of La Vie est Belle line. Now not so much anymore but I am so happy to have a bottle of this in my collection.
