I did not think I would like this perfume. Lancôme la vie est belle line has assaulted me in magazine samples before and it’s a yawn like a lot of department store samplers: a synthetic punch in the face, too floral , too biting. Because of online recommendations I grudgingly ordered a 2ml in search of a summer perfume. Boy was I wrong! The opening IS strong, synthetic, floral “department store perfume counter” but it only lasts a few seconds. What’s left behind is the best floral blend I’ve ever smelled- and I hate floral perfumes. There’s vanilla, but it’s balanced by the iris and Jasmine. In turn, the iris and Jasmine don’t get full command thanks to the pepper and solar notes. There is a faint powdery-ness (usually a hate for me) but it’s mellow and almost marshmallow for me- probably due to the coconut. It gives this perfume a clean scent, a very youthful “just out of the bath” scent without being “old”. I hate patchouli usually, it is too often way spicy/dirty, but I don’t detect it in this fragrance. I know patchouli can smell a bit soap like when done right, and I think that it blends very quietly and nicely with the powder/coconut. Occasionally I get “warm vanilla sugar” from Bath and Body works (blegh) from this but only from certain whiffs when the vanilla is strong. Then I smell it again and pick up on the florals and the other more complex notes, which give it that “expensive” feel. Nothing against Warm Vanilla Sugar, but I like that right when you think this is a basic scent it sends you into these other more interesting beautiful notes that bring intrigue. The dry down is coconut/vanilla, not very sweet with a little powder and that tiny bit of patchouli. The coconut is not super strong. It’s skin scent at this point, and I love it! So many perfumes are too showy to really go to sleep in, but I actually like putting this on before bed. This can be worn anywhere, any time of year. This is going to be my new signature scent. That being said, if you’re looking for something with a lot of warmth, spicy, gourmand and/ or tropical smelling... this isn’t it. This also isn’t a puzzling/strange perfume (looking at you, Vacation by Arquiste) and it’s not busy or flashy. It’s more of a beautiful flower arrangement in a white room on a sunny day. I don’t really get “sunscreen” from this at all. This wasn’t what I was looking for yet I’ve bought the full size already.

🗣La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Edp: UPDATE: Monday 7th March 2022. I Wore This ALL Day Yesterday For The Very First Time (Cold Sunny Spring Day) And Can Now Honestly Say/Tell You, That This Is Also Very Much A STUNNING Beauty!! And Every Bit As Nice As My ALL Time Favourite "La Vie Est Belle Intensement"!! And I Will Deffo Have/Keep Both In My Vast Perfume Wardrobe!! As I Can See Myself Deffo Reaching For This Beauty As Often As I Do With The "INTENSEMENT"!! On My Skin, It Creates The Most Beautiful Cozyness, And To Be Honest I Could'nt Stop Sniffing My Wrists!! And Also When I Moved, I Kept Catching The Most Gorgeous Whiff's Of Soleil Cristal - A Very Soft Coconut/Warm Yellow Floral, Citrus And Very Well Behaved Patchouli!! I Put This On At 11am On Sunday Morning, After My Daily Shower, And As Soon As My Daughter And My Mother Both Arrived For Dinner At 4.30pm And I Hugged/Greeted Them, They Both Gave Me A Second Sniff Saying How Good Do You Smell, And What Is It That Your Wearing!! Happily I Showed Them It, And Immediately Both Remarked That The Bottle Was Just Absolutely Stunning, And Deffo It Was As Nice As My Favourite "Intensement"!! But With A Nice Positive Twist!! (My Daughter Compared It With Her Tresor La Nuit Nude) Saying Her's Has A More Pronounced Soft Rose Note, But That She Much Preferred The Soleil Cristal I Was Wearing!! She Also Said That She Would Purchase Herself A Bottle In The Next Few Day's!! The Longevity Of Soleil Cristal Is Also Outstanding, As It's Now 10am Monday Morning, And I Can Still Smell It Softly On My Skin!! (Deffo As Good Staying Power As The Intensement I Own And Love) Lancomė Perfumes Are Indeed Of A VERY Good Quality!! And Thus Far, Im Absolutely Over The Moon With It, And I Highly Recommend It!!!

HEAVENLY ! The opening of this new fragrance is really bright and citrusy ,very energising ,and in the background you can already smell the coconut and some light airy sweetness. After a while the coconut start to be more prominent and it's mixed with the floral heart (sambac jasmine absolute,orange blossom absolute,ylang ylang essence) ,from this part it's more and more floral but never gets boring. I have to say that this is less sweet than the other editions ,it's still sweet but not overpowering and stickly ,it's a very grown up sweetness and very well blended.This sweet citrus-coconut-sweet floral stays strong till the dry down where the patchouli add a touch of dry and light spicy touch but for me it's more of a musky spicyness. The whole composition reminds me Dolce Garden, La Nuit Tresor Nude and the discontinued La vie est Belle L'eau de Toilette ,but JUST reminds me ! it's not the same ,just a pinch of them are mixed here in a gorgeous and addictive way.From the distance (when you smell it in) it's a really floral coconut ,not heavy ,more beachy and light EXOTIC-TROPICAL goddess. The longevity and sillage is as always absolutely amazing ,it last and last and lingers around you the whole day. I highly recommend it if you'r a coconut lover and want a very long lasting gorgeous summer coconut scent with a depth and soul and with a bright and happy aura. (It's absolutely nothing like the original or the other editions ) For me Lancôme ALWAYS do a great job and I absolutely adore they creations ,and this will be a perfume HIT this summer that's sure ,and I absolutely adore this .....forever.

Ive been looking for a good coconut perfume for a good while and Soleil Blanc is by far my fav but unfortunately its out of my budget. Found this and after all the reviews ive seen on YouTube by fellow fragrance lovers and the fact that folks compared this to the aforementioned and Beach Walk by Replica, i was pretty sold (even though I would be blind buying it, which definitely has the potential of becoming a bad deal and after one of the reviews compared the dry down of mixing patchouli and coconut as dirty I was a bit scared). LUCKY for my I Love the Product I ended up getting. Definitely pretty long lasting with good silage, however I disagree with its comparison it gets with Soleil Blanc and Beach Walk because I dont think it smells like either. This Actually smells more like Tom Fords Orchid Soleil, Especially in the Mid-Dry Down aspect of it thankfully the bright opening of Soleil Cristal Helps to tone down it down it bit. Definitely was a good buy from my point of view but id recommend sampling before you buy. EDIT* About a couple days later I sprayed both this and Soleil Blanc on paper and compared them side by side and I found that Note wise they share alot of similarities but they couldn't smell anymore different. This fragrance vs Soleil Blanc and Beach walk, they all have a sort of very zesty opening but I find that with Soleil Cristal, its way more blended with florals and a tad bit of spiciness where as they others are deff more "beachy" or "suntan-ish" and "creamy"
