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

On my skin, is like a nicest and more friendly version of. J.P. Gaultier Classique. I wish it had a better and stronger sillage, but I can live with that (I supossed is my fault for settling with an EDT, instead of keep searching for the EDP). I don't think is very similar to the original LVEB (wich I absolutely adore), but it has it's essence and is a beautiful fragance.

Last night, this perfume seduced me. The reason why is a mystery to me. It was pure gold that perfectly blended itself with my skin. Is it possible there's some honey in top notes of 'L'Éclat l'Edt'? Just a little bit in the opening? Or else it's me who's imagining all this! Perhaps, this is the secret reason why I find it so alluring. I'll need another vial.

LVEB opened the door, but I stayed for this! Instant happiness whenever I use it! It’s bright, fruity, juicy? playful but not juvenile. I’m probably not giving it justice, but I’m in love with this scent! Can’t get enough of the orange-flowery smell!

Just received this parfum and it's such a beautiful parfum .. first the neroli nicely done grapefruit and tangerine give it a very fresh and uplifting youthful aroma very nice lancome and life is even more beautiful..

I heard someone saying this is a limited edition, does anyone know if that's true? I hope it will be part of their standard collection.

Well I have not got a chance to smell this yet but I know it's another winner will buy once it hits the US market..til then

My bottle is on it way from Paris I will update soon as I wear it..

LVEB L'Éclat EDT gets hate either because it's not sweet as the Original or because people are tired with flankers already. I must admit I find the compositions of the flankers more successful than the original's and I appreciate that they're trying to cater to different audiences keeping the LVEB id everytime. This one though, seems to be the most distant one from the usual LVEB core. Lancome themselves state that it's the first non-gourmand scent of LVEB, and it's true. The Éclat edt is bitter and perfumey, not candy sweet certainly. There's a kinda sweetened orange blossom contrasting with bitter neroli; it smells also green for some minutes and has a fuzzy synthetic undernote. I've smelled the overall effect in an other perfume too, now that I think of it, it must be Poison Girl Unexpected, only LVEB L'Éclat EDT lasts longer (full six hours). It is fresh spicy. A perfume for summer that doesn't smell bland. That blackcurrant does make an appearance too. The drydown has mainly ambroxan, iris and neroli. A bit masculine, I guess a man can wear it too. Even though it's an edt it is quite long lasting. Sillage is strong initially but it calms and remains close to the skin. For the ones that really really did not like the original.

This one is nice, not fbw for me. Very similar to edp l’eclat, which i own and prefer. Poor performance on my skin, I can rarely wear edt even “strong” ones as I prefer to not reapply. Opens with candied mandarin orange that can be a bit much on initial spray, settles into a nicer version, sometimes i can smell the herbal notes of the tea, other times it’s just a wonderful creamy orange. Heart is sweet and lovely to steal sniffs as it evolves. I think ambroxan isn’t the best on my skin in general but it plays decently enough if a bit cloddish at times. Dry down is nice enough, sweet and close to skin, non descript. This would be lovely on the right skin, just not mine.

Alien Extraordinaire mixed with Flowerbomb EDT. Original LVEB is a big, sickly sweet fruitchouli “no” for me but this flanker is simply very pleasant surprise. As I understand all the “dislikes” come from LVEB fans who may find L’Eclat weak and not interesting/not sweet enough. However, I reckon that if it was independently marketed perfume it would be a S/S 2018 hit. Yes, it’s not groundbreaking formulation but, in my opinion, an interesting scent for anyone who wants sensual, playful scent that can be used without a risk of suffocating people around ;) I like it. I guess the only downside is longevity (3 hours at most, a bit longer in hair),

I blind bought this perfume because I found it at a very good price. I like Lancôme as a brand in general and floral fragrances, especially orange blossom, so I thought it could not go too wrong. It's a sweet and strong floral fragrance, with a good longevity (around 6h) and projection for an EDT. At first I thought it smelled too "young" and simple for my taste, it reminded me of orange candy but after a few minutes it gets more powdery and has a more mature vibe. Very feminine and bright perfume but not sexy, more innocent and cheerful. I think I am going to love wearing it during fall on sunny and cold days.

To me this is a very cozy orange blossom, almost candy like. I get nothing of the citrus and all of the soft sweetness. Orange and jasmine are what define this fragrance to my nose. To me the original LVEB is too cloying but also somewhat mature since it's my grandma's signature scent, L'Eclat EDT feels like a younger, softer and more versatile version of that. Definitely not a summer fragrance, I would say it's daytime appropriate in cold weather. Very pretty if worn with a light hand. Longevity on me is 7-8 hours, but it will cling to your clothes until you wash them.

This is a citrus/white floral scent. Very sophisticated and classy, not overly mature (you can definitely wear this is your late 20s/early 30s). Makes you feel like a classy lady. Very work appropriate, especially if you work in a corporate environment or in a luxurious hotel reception. It sits very close to the skin - you'll get random waves of this when moving and people may smell you if they hug you. Longevity is quite poor - 2 hours and it's gone. A pleasant, classy, simple perfume.

I just got this from sales today. I'm so glad that i picked this! It really reminds me of Jean paul gaultier perfumes wich i also love very much. This is really pretty, sparkling, happy scent. This could easily be someones signature scent. In my opinion, you can't never go wrong with Lancome. One of my favorite brand.

Top notes are very sweet and thick, but later it smells really good. Base notes are pleasant, well rounded and smooth. A better version of LVEB. By the way, aren't there too many flankers already? I really don't know if people who aren't hobbyists, understand anything from this flankers complete madness.
