La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Toilette

As I always say for Lancome, it makes masterpieces when it comes to perfumes but too many editions of a best seller is a good idea, or not? For me, not. Although I hate LVEB and I explained why in the past, I have a 'favorite' edition that is the Florale EDT one. (Is it still available?) For L' eclat edition now. I smelled EDP and it was like a simplified version of the heavy original one. The EDT is a whole new story! Soft again but with a character. It's a very orangie edition of LVEB without being sickly sweet or bitter. If you're into citrus/powedery perfumes, give it a try and don't forget to give it some time too. Soon it will reveal the original's DNA but trust me it's not boring at all. The opening is promising, the heart amazing, but the base a bit strange. When I smell it, it's like the world around me goes on a 'mute' state for seconds and a shinny smile comes in mind. That's it. It also gives me the image of a white hard candy. Crazy, right? I have to congratulate the perfumer since the name gives it justice and I rarely get motions from a perfume. Well done Lancome for once again! Other houses are releasing weaker and weaker perfumes and are less creative. Why? If I could desribe it quickly, this would be: White, smile, powder, orange blossoms, French, soft, from another world, dressy but free.

This truly is an amazing fragrance, and so underrated, and I'm glad that it's not popular like the original or like other Lancome fragrances because I don't want to smell like everybody else out there. It's a bright and beautiful orange blossom, almost sparkly but also soft and cozy, a bit powdery in the drydown (something I really appreciate in a fragrance) from the iris and cashmeran which are very prominent to my nose. It's a very elegant, romantic, feminine and uplifting fragrance, it's by far the best one from the entire line, similar to the edp but not that sweet, this one is absolutely gorgeous. I wore it a lot this summer, I even wore it a few days in a row, which almost never happens because I like to wear a different fragrance everyday, and I'm falling in love with it more and more and crave it and I can't get enough of it, that's how much I love it! The packaging is not important to me, but this bottle is lovely, it really compliments the fragrance. ❤️❤️❤️

I don't buy usually mainstream parfum (I prefer Niche) but this "Stay Home" thing brings new situations- I order several new parfumes including some mainstream like this...I had no idea how it will smell- I hope it will be in my home at wendesday...The bottle is beautifule and the notes too...I'm waiting some powdery orenge flower with good freshness...I come back when I could try...Oh and I don't know the original LVEB! EDIT: I have it now...in the beginning is very fresh, neroli scent then becomes some soft sweet feeling with it, maybe the jasmine and the iris... excellent...very good!!! And really long lasting! Full bottle worthy. EDIT 2: I went to my Mother and spayed 2 little- she asked me from 3 meters in the garden, what is this beautifule parfume on me and did I sprays the full bottle? Ha-ha-ha. So this is really strong with huge sillage. It's hiper strong like an Amouage!

This was a blind buy as I could find it for a good price. I love the eclat edp, it's an intense sweet floral to me. It has great staying power and sillage. You can clearly smell the lveb dna in this one too. I sprayed this yesterday for the first time and the first blast was pretty strong and I had a meh feeling about it. I was a little dissapointed, I already thought about selling it or decant it away. But after it had settled down a bit, I loved it! I don't understand why that happens lol! Those perfumes are the most interesting ones. It's such a lovely sweet white floral with a beautiful and romantic orange blossom. It's really uplifting too. Although it has a bit lighter feel than eclat edp, it still has very good performance. I will enjoy wearing this a lot. Now I'm even more curious to try other flankers from this line. So far they are all big likes or loves for me.

Ooh this is good 👍🏻 Smells so much more expensive than it is. Truly delicious fragrance. I've been blown away by the LVEB flankers considering I'm not overly keen on LVEB itself. This one is heavy on the orange blossom and my nose keeps getting violet big time even though Iris is listed here as the purple flower. It has a slight bubblegum sweetness that rounds it off nicely making this perfect for any occasion
