La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire

Love,love,love this perfume. I've never received so many compliments on any perfumes that I've worn except this one. I have tried the original la vie est belle, which I also like, but this is just blows the original out of the water. It's strange because I'm not a lover of rose scents,but for some reason the rose in this one is just amazing. I first tested it in boots ,loved it but tried it again and finally bought it at the airport for £80. I'm very guilty of getting it wrong, so I'm a bit more cautious these days 😅 this fragrance is my favourite at the moment and as soon as it's finished, I shall be buying another! It's definitely a summer perfume, and I would say suitable for day & 🌙 night. On first application I get notes of rose along with ,pink gin !! But as it settles down,the woody notes start to emit that warmth ,making it night-time worthy. I love the longevity of this scent, it lasts for hours, which justifys the price tag, unlike some other designer fragrances. It's a strong perfume, some may find it too overwhelming, but I can't get enough of it 😃

This is a love for me! I get the burst of citrus, green, rose in the beginning, but then it thickens up & I get a sweet, yet fresh/airy rose, over a THICK layer of sweet candied iris and sweet but well blended Ambroxan! It's hard to decipher each note, but it's syrupy, sweet, fresh, and candied. I'm the middle it's mostly that sweet candied iris whipped iris, with a fresh rose and a sweet Ambroxan base, as it dried down I get the rose/iris perfectly mixed, I pick up a HINT of the green note, but i kind of think it's a sweet oakmoss. Idk but it's honestly beautiful. It could be worn year year but spray lightly in the summer. It will remind you of hot summer or spring days in the winter, but this is perfect for spring & fall! It's feminine, sweet, fresh, syrupy, and addictive. It's fresh, and sweet, youthful, yet mature and sexy. This & the other one with the iris & coco butter note, are my top 2 favorite la vie est belle flankers! So pretty, I need a whole bottle!

This iteration of LVEB gives a Trésor-esque vibe... I smell this on my wrist and I am transported back to when I was a teenager, everyone was wearing Trésor de Lancôme!! This has strong fruity notes, to my nose. Peach, berries, a vibrant bit of pepper at the top and of course, roses. A million of them!! Stem, petals, leaves, thorns and rose oil too. It’s so strong!!! But it’s delightful and invigorating! Thank goodness, there’s no sweetness (other than the fruity notes) because it would become cloying and too heavy. And there’s no patchouli either and I am grateful for that as well! Brutally strong, this isn’t your delicate rose scent. It leaves a trail and you will always be found if you play a game of hide and seek wearing this frag 🤭 This is a frag for hardcore rose lovers. I love it but this isn’t for the faint of heart! Sample it first! 🌹🌱🌹🍑🌹🍇🌹🍓🌹🫐🌹🍊🌹🍒🌹🪵🌹☁️🌹

Very rose forward flanker that stays true to the heart of the original, even though it has a litte less depth and isn't just as gourmandy. Opens super sweet - the way we fans love it ; ) then settles down into its flowery nest. The rose has different facets. There's the rosewater, which together with iris lends a clean freshness. Then there's a more processed rose, like beautiful candied petals, sugar frosted at the edges - the way you might imagine them in a luxurious winter ad or delicately perched on top of fancy pastries and cakes. Rose Extraordinaire lasts for hours, but when it starts to fade, the rose is the first to disappear. I used to love L'Elixir even more after sampling it in summer 2024, but I was disappointed when I bought a travel-size bottle in Spring 2025. So, I have to revise my opinion: Rose Extraordinaire is now my favorite flanker.

This is what I call a “true rose” scent, without the fuss and distraction of other notes detracting from the star ingredient, the way La Vie Est Belle En Rose suffered. Instead, with LVEB RE I get the pure bliss of an intense rose hit like pressing my nose against a rose to inhale all its earthy goodness without the drama of all those complex layers often found in LVEB perfumes. Alongaide the original LVEB, this is Lancome’s best invention! It’s now my go-to for romantic nights, a little decadence on the weekend tucked up in a cozy spa robe on a rainy Sunday afternoon and evokes fond memories of cool summer evenings, as the sun sets. This is a truly remarkable scent in its daring simplicity, the way it combines the top and base notes to perfectly balance the rose notes while keeping the rose notes the star attraction.

La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire by Lancôme is currently my favorite flanker from the LVEB line. I’ve tested most of them over the years, but in my collection, I’ve only truly owned two: Intensément and this one. While the intense version was something I grew to appreciate slowly, Rose Extraordinaire was love at first sniff. The rose here is absolutely stunning, elegant yet fresh, wrapped in a beautiful blend of soft woods, iris, moss, and a whisper of musk. The opening with orange and bergamot adds just the right touch of brightness before settling into that dewy floral heart ... It’s romantic, graceful, and somehow feels grounded too, with those green and woody elements. A beautifully done modern rose. Also the bottle is so pretty. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

Oh what a lovely fragrance! It is a sweet, sugary, slightly fruity rose. The musk and the ambroxan in the dry-down are really prominent, but not in a BR/Cloud kind of way. It's bright and joyful and suitable for any age and any occasion. It's a very modern fruity rose fragrance with a musky dry-down. Extremely feminine, very different from the OG. The sillage is moderate, projection strong in the first hour, but the longevity is incredible. It lasted on my shirt for a week and I didn't have to stick my nose to it to smell it. If you've got the chance, try it, even if you don't like florals. You might be pleasantly surprised. Definitely a safe blind buy. I'm really enjoying this one a lot.

At first, the orange and bergamot come across as a bit sharp. Even though I hate sharp scents, I love this sharpness. As it settles on you, that sharpness fades. The citrusy and juicy scent of orange blends with the scent of rose. Thanks to the ambroxan, musk, and sandalwood coming from the base, you can sense a light wet wipe scent. A rose-scented wet wipe. It is then balanced with woody notes. As you can see, it is a truly sophisticated perfume. One of my favorites. If OG doesn't appeal to you, you can check this one out. It has a more floral-woody balance compared to OG. I also like its projection and longevity.

This is a very beautiful rose perfume, it lasts on skin with moderate projection, for me after 20 h i could still feel it on my hand. Bottle i found that it is refillable. This is nice because i find it absolutely gorgeous. This reminds me of the rose used in Oui La vie est belle and in the edt La vie est belle en rose, better lasting than both of them, as i tested them all side by side. Sparkling, like those fresh roses used for jam. A bit more mature than the rose used in Lancôme Idol, and very deep and a bit vanillary , not watery. I recommend this for rose lovers, it is a good spring-summer scent.

This perfume is all about sweetened, almost syrupy-like roses. It actually reminds me of Idole Now by Lancome, but RE is a little bit on a softer side. I don't really get the La Vie est Belle DNA here, at least not on my skin. I'm actually surprised how different it is from the OG. The longevity and sillage are very good, just like it tends to be with the Lancome perfumes in general. Beautiful bottle. :) Nice, feminine perfume, good for spring, datetime, cheerful, optimistic vibes. Elegant. I'm glad to have it in my La Vie est Belle Collection, especially when it's that different from the OG.

I’ve come to the defense of this LVEB flanker... It is as gorgeous as its bottle in my personal opinion and I pray to the fragrance gods that the LVEB snobs won’t get this flanker discontinued because of low sales. It’s a modern, fun, juicy rose fragrance. I don’t have the og LVEB bottle but I have sampled them side by side, and to me this is less cloying, less harsh or sharp compared to the original. This is gives a younger vibe compared to iris absolu as well. It’s pretty good and I would definitely advise (as I do with other popular perfumes) don’t knock it til you try it.

*tested with a sample for a purchase* Honestly, I found it a bit strange when first applied to the skin, but only for a few moments and then it changes, opening with a precious sugared red rose on a spring morning, with the dew drops still shining on its newly opened petals. It reminds me of the original formulation of LVEB EN ROSE (2019) when that was the most delicious thing I had ever smelled with roses. I think I will buy it later, since EN ROSE was (first) reformulated and a few weeks ago its complete discontinuation was announced.

Beautiful! My favorite from La Vie Est Belle line. I am not a fan of LVEB, on the contrary, but this is gorgeous, femininity in a bottle. Smells so similar to Parfait de Roses or Roses Barberanza, but more wearable. Powdery, candied, flirty, feminine roses, the iris is also quite bright, earthy and green. This is very potent and noticeable fragrance, I don't recommend spraying it for closed small spaces. Every lover of lipstick-y perfumes should test this. It's your classic rose+iris softly jammy.

Bought for holiday after receiving a sample as I love the lightness and freshness the rose enhanced by the citrus brings to this without the headache other rose fragrances induce in me. It also balances the sweetness of the original La Vie Est Belle DNA, meaning it's a less controversial and a more mature fragrance and without being cloying. Still sweet but fresher and a little earthier due to the base notes. Hoping this will perform well in the heat without being a typical sunscreen fragrance.

One of my dearest friends decanted a sample for me or I'd never have known what I was missing. If going only by the notes here, I would've thought, "too green.. pass". Instead, this smells like ROSE Gummy Bears. Imagine their light sweetness with a powdery exterior, you bite into them and instead of being individually fruit flavored, you're met with a juicy rose that has a touch of Gummy Bear citrus. Warm, sweet floral with Dior-esque dry down. Immediate love for me.

I got this in the mail today and OH MY GOD! I am in love with this fragrance. Lancome never disappoints and this one delivered, I can't even smell the LVEB DNA on this - it's just a beautiful classy Rose scent, a bit powdery but totally classy. It's like walking around the fields of rose with a hint of sweetness all over you. This will definitely be my Spring Perfume of choice. I love this more than Iris Absolute for sure. Don't walk..Run and get this new flanker.

such a beautiful take on the original LVEB. the original dna is still there, but the scent is spun in a more citrusy, rose-forward way. i love most rose perfumes and LVEB is dear to my heart so i'm not surprised i enjoyed this flanker so much. the bottle is also gorgeous.

Big yes to this. Lovely fragrance. I put on my wish list♥️♥️ Wich means I liked a lot ♥️♥️♥️ I prefer this over the original LVEB. Edit: I came here after while just to say that is similar to Tresor Midnight, maybe more salt Sweet but both are In the same path.

Me llegó hoy por correo, 2 vials :) encantadísima porque tiene rosas, no solo 1 sino 3!! tipos de rosas en su composición. Estoy buscando un buen perfume de rosas que no sea "olor a viejo". Veremos si me convence para comprar el 30ml ;)

Can never decide if I like this or the original LVEB better. I can’t choose they are both sublime. Back up bottle worthy. Perfect autumn/spring wear. Always makes me think of a romanticized Paris or formal English garden, and ballet.
