La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude

To my nose this fragrance seems a bit different than what is described by others and in the scent notes. In addition to the notes shown above, I immediately smell Iris giving the vanilla a waxiness and slight cherry almond hint to its nature, almost manifesting a vanilla lipstick scent! Perhaps that’s what they meant by “glazed” vanilla in the description. I also pick up praline and a touch of patchouli in the base. The patchouli is definitely lighter than in the OG, I personally like patchouli when it’s done well but those who find it a deal breaker should be aware it’s in this fragrance, but its gentle and doesn’t take over. I know Solar notes, are a fantasy note but I don’t really detect it, at least not in that salty or sunscreen way that I get in other fragrances that claim solar notes, perhaps I can detect a hint of warm skin in the sun but the heavier notes prevent this from being a summery skin scent in my opinion. This is the first LVEB I have felt moved to buy as I always found the original LVEB way too sweet and heavy in all the wrong ways for me personally. Upon hearing that the sweetness is turned down in this version and descriptions of a fluffy vanilla amber I went ahead and blind bought this during a sale. This doesn’t smell how I expected and I personally do not find this fragrance fluffy or light, I find it still very sweet and dense!! But somehow it all works for me and I love it! And the part I wasn’t expecting is indeed what I love most about it, The waxy iris really adds something special and keeps this fragrance from being just another vanilla, that along with the praline add a bit of sexiness to an otherwise very sugary, sweet, innocent fragrance! This fragrance is beautiful on its own but I’m excited to layer it with some of my more masculine scents to sweeten them up. I love the beautiful bottle as I am a sucker for anything with a bit of whimsy flare to it. My only regret is not getting a larger size!

I blind bought this and overall it’s a love. The only thing I can hope for is that they bring out a stronger more intense version. The bottle is absolutely stunning and so is the fragrance. Obviously this is advertised as a skin scent so you can’t really go into buying this thinking it will be a strong, heady perfume like the OG La vie est belle. On me it gives a scent bubble of about 2 hours before it turns into a skin scent but the skin scent does last a good amount of time. On clothes this does last longer. I tried a night test where I went to bed and in the morning I could smell the beautiful vanilla on my skin and also on my bedding. Unfortunately I do think this is way overpriced for what it is and you do have to overspray but I will probably buy again when on offer (as it frequently is) due to how gorgeous it is! To me this is an all year round kind of perfume...we are coming up to spring summer in the uk and thanks to the solar notes and the coconut I do think it will be a good summer one (not during really hot weather) but I also get the cozy vibe everyone is going on about for the other seasons. The full notes aren’t listed here but they are... Top Notes: Bergamot Essence, Orange Essence, Pink Pepper Heart Notes: Jasmine, Iris, Fluffy Coconut Accord Base Notes: Vanilla, White Musk, Sandalwood I also bought the body mist to help the longevity but I wouldn’t recommend as it doesn’t last past an hour. When I first sprayed this perfume I thought of the OG LVEB, the OG bronze goddess and mainly flowerbomb! All in all a beautiful fragrance but it depends on how you feel about it being mainly a skin scent. Like I said though I really hope they bring out a stronger version. Summing this one up I will say it’s a stunning perfume, I love the scent but I hope they bring out a stronger version.

I am so addicted to this perfume. I have been wearing it nonstop since I got it, and that’s not like me at all. I normally wear something different every day... I just follow my mood. But this has hit the spot for nearly a month. I can’t even remember the last time I wore one perfume every single day. I usually buy the LVEB flankers, and since I have so much, I bought this in the 1.7oz bottle. Well, since the Black Friday sales were on, I went back and got the full 3.4oz bottle too. I figure since I’m wearing it everyday with no signs of slowing down... I might as well get it while it’s on sale. It’s also not like me to buy backups... but here we are. Anyway, the scent itself... I get a warm, creamy and sweet vanilla, fluffy and powdery iris, smooth and creamy sandalwood... and toasted coconut. I like that it comes through as toasted for me, because solar (sunscreeny) coconut isn’t my favorite, and I have plenty of perfumes that scratch that itch when the mood strikes already. But the toasted quality of it brings warmth and a cozy feel to it. I really love this perfume a lot. The LVEB dna is there, but it’s more just a background hint. It almost feels like this could be an entirely different perfume line. This and L’Elixir are the least like LVEB original of the flankers I own (and they aren’t like eachother either) On me, this projects moderately with a soft trail for about an hour, then it settles in closer to the skin and the projection and sillage becomes more intimate. But the longevity is all day. 8-10 hrs before I can’t smell it anymore. Sometimes I find myself wishing that the projection lasted longer, but I still love it. I think this is worth a try even if you don’t typically like LVEB or its flankers.

All I can say when it comes to this fragrance is finally. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for and never knew existed. I am obsessed with sweet and vanilla smells but not a fan of the constant spicy and oud vanilla fragrances that have been coming out recently. This is not that. This smells like the word PRINCESS. It is airy, sweet but not a fake sugar scent, and clean vanilla. It smells like someone took a fresh shower and put some vanilla extract into their Nivea lotion. So yummy and clean at the same time. I can definitely see this being an all seasons, signature scent. Onto the compliments, I have not stopped getting compliments from people on this perfume. Even people who lean more to floral or green scents love this one. It is so soft but feminine and girly at the same time without being a bunch of fruits. The first sprays is a sophisticated vanilla with some white florals in the back. Think girl in the office who always has French tip nails and chews pink hubba bubba. Then it is more airy, almost sandlewood like still keeping the vanilla. The next day I can still smell it on me, it’s a beautiful cool vanilla not warm but still beautiful. If you’re on the fence, go ahead and treat yourself, you won’t regret it. I am walking around feeling so princess like. This is also one of the only fragrances I know that holds the vanilla note through any stage of the perfume wear. Just amazing. Finally.

Amaaaaazing cozy, comfortable, and intimate "skin scent" - just know what you're getting into. If Black Opium (EdP) is a sexy girlfriend in a tight black dress (coffee and white flowers), Vanille Nude is the "girl next door" with a pretty, sweet smile and a great no-makeup look. She wears oversized cream pink cardigans (white musk; "cashmeran sensation") and her laugh is like windchimes (sparkling solar notes). She prefers to stay at home and lounge on the sofa, watching old rom-coms together while cuddling under a blanket. Always works and is never overwhelming - actually my most sprayed perfume for that reason, period. Great for being respectful to the people around you while smelling nice to people in your bubble lol - no huge scent trail, it's something that beckons people to come closer. Her sweet talk is hushed and behind the shell of your ear. Sillage is just enough for you and your little comfort bubble. Bourbon Vanilla note is excellently done, though won't blow your mind (safe). Not as cloying as the original LVEB, but the sweetness makes them sisters. For reference, I typically wear LDBS for going out, and Vanille Nude at home. I directly compared with the original Black Opium EdP to write the second paragraph of my review. This scent is really safe, exceptionally cozy, but might bore you if you think it'll blow your mind.

At first it’s such a pretty light vanilla girly girl scent and then the dry down turns it into a more decadent and sultry vanilla for me. Just gorgeously simple! If you’re looking for something otherworldly this isn’t for you. I would wear this year round but the dry down is like a dessert so can be a little heavy for some in summer. Also it last such a long time, I’m on hour 7 and I can still smell it on my skin and I can still tell what perfume I’m wearing, on my clothes it smells even stronger. I smell something different every time I wear it and to me each version is lovely. My bf said I smell like a coconut raspado which is the biggest compliment and do get. I also get just such a cozy comforting smell instead of a sultry vanilla sometimes. Update: Im very sensitive to fragrances with musk, it can be very overpowering to the point where that’s all I can smell. And for the first couple of days of having this I didn’t get any at all but after a week of wear I pick up the musk now I would look at all the reviews saying this was a skin scent and I was like how?? Now I know :( it’s still lovely but my nose is cursed to making musk overpowering in almost every scent. I would still recommend it tho, our days were short lived but lovely. Update: I still pick up the musk but it’s still soooooo good. We’re back together again

(PSA)***the magic in Vanille.Nude is the silliage, the lovely soft scent bubble around you, not nose to tester strip or arm****This quickly turned into a LOVE. Let me start by saying I've always avoided this entire line bc of that patchouli in the OG. Patchouli just isn't my vibe. I do really enjoy soft girl, ultra feminine, sweet, gourmand and any that just give off a soft texture. Such as Love Don't Be Shy, Si Fiori, Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid & extreme, Poison Girl, Flower Lelixer, DBIR, Boujee Marshmallow, Voce Viva Intense. This fragrance is majorly mass appealing, don't expect it to be some super original unusual niche perfume bc it isn't. This is for all of us vanilla , easy reach feminine fragrance lovers 💕 It's a soft warm vanilla but still keeps 8hour longevity and a decent scent bubble. Very cozy not gourmand but still sweet. I'm in my mid 30s and adore this one. My 20 year old has asked to use it every day this week since it arrived lol and my 70 year old mother ALSO wants a bottle. There's nothing to dislike about this scent. No bad patchouli or weird pepper notes or too gourmand leaning. It's just a hit across the board. This was a blind buy btw that I had to order twice bc my first bottle went 'missing' in Nashville. This is a good one.

i made the mistake of smelling this at macy’s... big mistake. huge. it haunted me for days. i tried to forget about it but eventually i cracked, bought it, and oh my god. this perfume is gorgeous. it smells nothing like the original and honestly, lancôme should’ve made this its own release instead of calling it a flanker. it’s delicious, like i literally want to lick it off my skin. i’m not even sure if it’s technically a gourmand but it’s so perfectly blended that i don’t even care. no sharp edges, no screechy notes, just a fluffy vanilla wrapped in creamy softness. i tested it in hot weather (which i almost never do because most fragrances disappear in the heat) and it still lasted. not beast mode, but after about five hours—and after i’d gone completely nose blind to it—i got two random compliments. by then it had melted down into this smooth, cozy vanilla skin scent that was just as intoxicating as the opening. and honestly, i think it would be a total knockout in colder weather. that creamy vanilla would bloom beautifully in the chill. this one’s easily in my top 10 and i don’t hand out that title lightly.

Years ago, I had a delicate shimmering body powder with a charming little squeeze bulb - it left a subtle golden glow on the skin, but its real magic was the scent: a perfect blend of vanilla and coconut. When it was discontinued, I was a bit sad and spent years searching for a replacement. I tried dozens of perfumes, layered coconut sprays with vanillas, but nothing ever really matched that deep, smooth resonance that makes you lean in and breathe again. Texture mattered too: skin, hair, wool - nothing quite worked. Then I tested Vanille Nude. It opens fruitier - with a hint of peach - than my old powder, but once it settles, it’s heaven. The vanilla is creamy, rich, and utterly captivating. Peach turns into coconut - it isn’t listed, but to my nose, it’s unmistakable. It’s no skin scent, yet its sillage is confident, magnetic, and long-lasting. Vanille Nude is another great edition to the La Vie est Belle line: sweet and rich without heaviness, airy without feeling “fresh.” Glorious on skin, hair, and especially wool, it’s the closest I’ve ever come to recapturing that long-lost scent. I couldn’t be happier.

It is in the family of Blanche Bete and Her confession and Si Passione Red Musk but gentler. A dewy mist of comforting scent that feels milky and solar. I cant honestly name the parts. It is not a realistic vanilla yet it is a dominant note. It is not pure sandal yet it has its warmth. It is not a typical floral for sure. The musk is also not obvious. It is a whipped cream made out of the ingredients with the sheerness of a mist. It is soft and sheer but long lasting. A fluffy cloud of a scent and a gift from my Mum so I intend to wear it often and think of her ❤️ I think it fits any weather and setting. Maybe not necessarily summer but I was wearing my sample in the summer and it was just the same cloud of a scent and pleasant, not tiring. It stayed with me in my memory as a very likeable experience. Totally different to the classic.

Very nice edition to the line, the opening is super pretty, has lots of the original lveb dna just more powdery with lots of vanilla, completely changes in the dry down though, the dry down reminds me of Ani by Nishane, one of my faves!... the notes are quite different so it shouldn’t but it becomes super warm and cosy! I was doing a brides hair for her wedding and I was like oooh is she wearing Ani? I thought it was an interesting choice for a wedding so I was like “what perfume are you wearing?” and she pulls out her bottle of vanille nude, I finished up and blind bought a bottle on my way home, I sprayed and I was like was she lying to me? 😂 it was only a little while later I smelled my wrist and realised the dry down was so different which is when I fell in love with it! It’s also very long lasting on my skin! a love from me!

I am genuinely impressed with Vanille Nude. It definitely has REAL staying power, easily lasting around 6 hours on both skin and clothes, which is more than I expected for a vanilla-focused fragrance. On me, the sillage is soft to moderate...noticeable and inviting without ever feeling overpowering. Contrary to some opinions, this doesn’t smell juvenile or overly sweet. Instead, it comes across as a grown-up, elegant vanilla. To my nose, it feels somewhat similar to the original La Vie Est Belle in its sophisticated warmth, but with a softer, creamier vanilla presence rather than the stronger praline/iris emphasis. It’s a compliment getter in a subtle, effortless way , cozy, refined, and very wearable. Overall, Vanille Nude sits beautifully in that grown-vanilla territory: smooth, classy, and perfect for everyday wear.

I am familiar with the original like everyone else (too sweet and too much patchouli for my taste), I was intrigued by the bottle and reviews suggesting this version would be softer. I tested it first on my arm, and got a lovely vanilla musky scent with familiar sweetness from the original that is toned down. So I got it, and I am so glad I did, wearing the perfume properly surrounded me with a soft, sweet hug, like a fluffy vanilla cloud. It's not overly sweet or heavy on patchouli, and the musk note is beautifully blended to create a cashmerean cozy sensation, the scent is comforting and cocooning, with good lasting power. This isn't a loud fragrance for standing out, but perfect for feeling cozy at home or for an intimate date. A beautiful surprise in a gorgeous bottle that deserved a full review.

This is one of my favorite vanilla perfumes. I think this has to be fav from the LVEB line for now until I try others. I have tried the OG, L'elixir, Intense and now Vanille Nude. I love how soft it is and yet long lasting. Not a lot of projection, it is a strong skin scent that I got lots of compliments on. It ALWAYS improves my mood anytime I wear it. I love that it retained the OG DNA but yet having it's own distinct DNA. I really hope that Lancome continues to produce this. I will be very bummed if it's discontinued. It is one of their very best and I suspect it will gain cult-like notoriety like the OG. It can be layered with almost any perfume. It is great on its own and also as a layering component. Lancome really did their big one with this and it will always be in my collection.

Holy smokes I love this. For reference, I like well balanced gourmands, florals with vanilla, and some spicy/woody notes. I heard some really weird perspectives on this fragrance, one being that is very sweet and linear vanilla or marshmallow. I also heard one reviewer say it wouldn’t be appropriate for an office setting. Someone else said that it would only be for someone in their 40’s or older. I don’t get that at all! I’m 29 and to me it is a beautiful creamy jasmine that finishes with a soft musky vanilla and sandalwood. It’s very pleasant and gentle and not at all overbearing. It doesn’t make me think of a teenager, but it’s not giving overly mature or powdery either. Just a beautiful creamy floral skin scent that is welcoming and sensual but in an understated way. Instant love!

It smells like if the pretty girls in high school were nice to you. The cool girl group - not a clique per se, but impenetrable to the average student - is clean and sparkly. Pink flower bows in their hair. Cuticles oiled. It’s fall and they are wearing chunky, cream knit sweaters. Your favorite of the cool girls is especially nice, and one day while at lunch she passes you and offers you a warm vanilla sugar cookie. It is heavy on the vanilla, that much vanilla must have been a mistake, but you're so taken by her sparkly eyes and flower head band that you accept the cookie with a quiet “thank you.” As she , walks off the strong vanilla taste fades and you’re left with a perfect fall memory of a cool, pretty girl with the kind of feminine energy you chase after for years to come.

Don't think this is as nude as we thought. I just sprayed this on. Walked into the living room past my 82 year old mother. I was at least 2 meters away. And she could smell it strong! I didn't like this perfume the first time I tried it. I could smell pineapple. And I hate pineapple. Maybe it was just my nose playing up. Yesterday I decided to give it another go. I fell in love straight away. I fell in love even more, when I woke up in the night smelling of the most delicious custard. It made me hungry. Today has been a really stressful day. But Nude has kept me calm all day. Sprayed this morning at 9am and just resprayed 10 minutes ago. Just to give myself an extra treat. I'm so glad I bought a 100ml bottle now.

I loved it both on the strip and on my wrist. Definitely skin only scent. Might want to spray half of the bottle and still will be the only person that can smell it 😂 It’s truly delightful, absolutely adore it, but the price point is horrendous, you should not be asked to pay this much for scent that is barely noticeable. If you love it, as much as I do and you live in the UK do yourself a favour and order a dupe from The Essence Vault (342) - smells just like the original, lasts longer and cost you just a fraction of the price for 100ml. 😌 No idea why TEV is not listed on Fragrantica anyway, as all their dupes are absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 I guess only Arabic ones gets any recognition here 🙃

Upping it to love. It is so fine a cloud of vanilla that works the entire year including 30°C with perfect performance despite sheerness, that it deserves high praises. It has a unique character and subtlety and is instantly recognizable - a return to a well-behaved beauty. It is not tiring but rejuvenating. Not sweet yet a sweetie. Vanilla but mixed with white clouds. Gentle but covering me in a bubble. Completely different to LVEB but creating a smile on my face. Soft and serene, relaxed and refined. I could not wait to wear it again. It is just so nice. A perfect signature, too.

Ah goodness. This perfume is my WORLDDDD. It's not the most inventive or groundbreaking, but it is... like... like it was SPECIFICALLY targeted towards me. It is SO beautiful I am in shambles. This is my signature scent now. Possibly forever. Everything about it is so smooth and well rounded, to me this is SUCH a crowd pleaser... It's long lasting on my skin, has just the projection I want out of a perfume, UGH just Gorgeous it fits for every occasion to me. Beautiful for layering, beautiful standalone, I didn't expect this perfume would make me so happy but it DOES! Phenomenal <3

I knew I would love this scent just based on the bottle and the name but I had no idea how much. I first smelled this in France when it came out at a perfumery and then a couple more times throughout my travels. Each time I sprayed it on myself I fell more in love with it. The scent is delicate, sweet and very fluffy (like a soft, bouncy pink marshmallow). It's feminine without being overly sweet or juvenile and has a slight touch of the original belle dna, which I love. This has definitely become my favourite flanker of the line and I can't recommend it enough

This reminds me of a soft pink cloud that surrounds you throughout the day. It's feminine, airy and light. I prefer this much more than the original. It's not as heavy and screechy. Compliment getter, will make you feel really pretty. I layered this with Flowerbomb on one occasion, and it was beautiful. On another occasion I used the Super Milk Protein Conditioner spray in my hair, and this as the scent afterwards, and the overall scent bubble it created was mind-blowing, which lasted well into the afternoon (applied early morning).

I bought into the hype and made this blind buy purchase. On first whiff, I was not impressed. It possessed no character, no longevity, it didn't come together well at all. A couple months later, decided to give it a wear anyways. It blended beautifully. While it doesn't project, I was able to smell it thru an entire shift at work even if no one else smelled it and it was absolutely beautiful. Even designer scents can use some time to sit and settle. I'm glad I gave it the chance to bloom before decluttering. It's a keeper for sure.

This is honestly one of my favorite vanilla perfumes I’ve ever smelled. It’s sweet and creamy, but not in a bakery or overly gourmand way, it smells more like warm vanilla skin. When it dries down, the vanilla, musk, and sandalwood become really soft, cozy, and addictive. It just has this beautiful glowing warmth to it that feels very feminine and comforting. Every time I wear this I get compliments and people ask what I’m wearing. It’s one of those perfumes that just makes you smell like soft, golden, vanilla goodness.

Love at first sniff! Such a soft, delicate and sweet fragrance. The vanilla is soft and fluffy, sweet and creamy. I can also smell the sunshine hitting the sandalwood and the jasmine. I adore this fragrance, this could be my signature fragrance. It still has a tiny bit of LVEB DNA (I could smell that this is the more sensual and delicate sister of Rose Extraordinaire). Finally a fragrance that is mature enough, but not old fashioned, sweet and playful, but not childish.

This is such a creamy and elegant fragrance. At first you smell the vanilla and jasmine, such a great balance between sweet, floral and lactonic. Once it dries down, it smells musky and floral, so soft and graceful. I am not usually a fan of Lancome fragrances but this one is so charming and wonderful. I can't tell about the durability of this one because I got a little sample, but I will definitely go to the store so I can keep testing it. Overall, I really like it.

If I could buy this in bulk, I would. It's one of like 3 fragrances I've ever wanted to gatekeep because I love it so much. I tend to actually wear just a spritz of this before bed and I can still smell it the next morning - she's a beast. So sweet, mature, comforting, cozy and seductive - she is really the whole package. I just ADORE this and will always have in my collection (and probably always has a place on my daily perfume tray).

Love this. I like vanilla but the 100s that are on the market today are too smoky, too spicy, to much liquor or too much sugar. This however is a subtle, smooth, almost skin like vanilla. I get vanilla (not too sweet), sandalwood and a little musk to keep it from being to heavy. I kept getting wafts of coconut and figured out it was the sandalwood. It's so smooth and creamy, combined with vanilla gives hints of coconut here & there.

This smells similar to Artemisia by Penhaligon’s but without the disturbing latex smell. It is a skin scent so it's office friendly, unlike the other la vie est belle flankers. In fact, it smells nothing like the other flankers in the line (from which I have yet to find one I dislike, including the original). It’s incredibly elegant, and evokes a sophisticated Parisian lady, it's not juvenile in any way, it’s actually quite mature.

It took me a little while to figure out what this fragrance actually gives & I’m glad I’ve grown to like it. It obviously keeps to the same LVEB DNA, however, with frequent use (& maybe a bit of maturation), you’re bound to experience smoother & creamier facets from it. And by creamy, I don’t mean heavy cream; it’s just how well the vanilla plays its role by balancing the scent out without making it overwhelmingly sweet.

Super duper sweet and sugary like a dusting of vanilla sugar. Very pretty, very pleasant, and very coquette. But it’s not a harsh, sharp sweetness like pink sugar (at least to me, pink sugar is harsh and very synthetic smelling). I think the colour of the bottle suits this scent perfectly - it’s ultimately girly and soft like a blanket and angel food or white cake. I think it’s a great scent for all year round :)

Vanilla is one of the most overdone scents on this planet. Boring, often too sweet, never lasts. This however might just be the best vanilla I have ever smelled. Sweet but bright, balanced out with a musk that is done very well. I could not stop smelling that tester card for the next hour and it is something that I am going to gift to someone special to me. Wish I could absorb that scent into my soul.

This is the most wearable La vie est belle for me. It lasts all day. It is very cozy, soft, warm and cuddly. Dry down smells like fluffy cream. I got compliments wearing it after few hours. It lasts on hair and clothing for days. It is a great scent for all seasons, i hope this one wouldn't get discontinued and become a permanent flanker. Edit: finished my 3.4 oz in 2 months Purchased 2 more bottles!

Lovely, and unmistakably a La vie est belle flanker, just with much more oomph on the vanilla. Imo it seems to disappear in a couple of hours, so have to somewhat overspray, and not overly excited about that, as the pricetag is a bit pricey 💸 I will go through this 50 ml in no time. Have the same longevity problem with the Elixir flanker.... Does certainly not live up to it's name.

I’m on my second bottle of this since its release. Wasn’t a fan of the OG/flankers but I love this scent! I can’t pinpoint what part of it gives me nostalgia and I don’t even know what the nostalgia memory is. Still trying to figure it out. In the meantime it’s such a cozy and perfect reach. It’s sweet, fluffy, yet never feels too anything. Compliments whenever worn.

I love how this perfume isn't as popular as Burberry Goddess, I love wearing unique perfumes and this one is definitely one of them. I tried it with my boyfriend and he loved the scent he kept on smelling my wrist saying it smells like vanilla and whipped cream. To me it smelled like freshly baked cookies. When I came back home I ordered it immediately. Love it

I love this scent! It's much warmer and dreamier than the original La Vie Est Belle. At first, the vanilla, musk, and jasmine create a soft, musky floral scent. The jasmine gets lost in the dry down and is replaced by a comforting woody vanilla. It feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket. This is such a cozy, versatile scent and great for everyday wear.

As soon as this settles on my skin, right away reminded me of my favorite VS bare sueded vanilla omg I love it. It might be a hint more floral but mostly it really is almost exactly like bare sueded vanilla and im so glad I got this, I thoight it would be the typical la vie DNA but no, only at first spray yes but not once it dries down. Really good!

This perfume is just so PERFECT. I’ve always loved the original La vie est belle, but there’s something in it that ends up irritating my nose. This one however.. such a smooth blend. It’s so gentle and beautiful, perfect for absolutely any occasion, not irritating at all. And still it contains enough of the original’s DNA that I adore so much.

Very yummy!! the initial spray is quite nice and you only need one or two good sprays for it to move in and pay rent every month with minimal issues. Once it dries down you can really smell the vanilla and musk, creating a sweet, and smokey scent that I think is a really great crowd pleaser. Definitely will become one of my signature scents.

I was taken by surprise with this scent because the bottle screams soft whimsy. This is so much more: soft. Deep. Sexy. Bold. Poised. Edible. Silky. Day party. Magnetic. Jeans with heels. Composed charisma. Grown. Movie night. Comfy. Smooth. Deceptively seductive. Quiet strength. Creamy. The box says it’s a ‘sensual perfume water’. I agree.

It is simply an incredibly delicious vanilla—a vanilla for a sunny day, with a breeze in your hair and ice-cold water. Satisfying, feminine and innocent. But the drydown, wow, what a drydown, maybe the nicest drydown. For me the projection is not a problem, it lasts whole day with good sillage. I'm starting to like it more and more.

I have the original as well but I must say I rarely wear it, however this one is so much better imo! It’s sexier, sunnier, sultry, while not being too loud either. Perfect for drinks at the bar on sunny evenings, sexy sunsets, vacation vibes but also for your day-to-day reminder that vacation days are coming!

Not a huge fan of the La Vie DNA but this is gorgeous. A soft powdery feminine vanilla skin scent that is somehow so long lasting and still stays true to the original DNA. Pretty unique compared to most vanillas on the market right now. A little floral, a little musky and powdery. It’s pure comfort.

Something very comforting about this fragrance as others have said. The fragrance was already amber in color when I recieved so guessing macerated and beautiful. Wear this on a night in or somewhere casual. Feels like I should be wearing a sweater in the fall when it starts to get cooler out.

The Opening made me go YUMMMY, a very uniq release from Lancôme, I just went like wow that smells really really good, I noticed there were comments on the lasting and performance which im keeping under testing, the first time I wearied it the smell was all Over all room. Over all 9/10

This smells like warmth and sunshine encapsulated. It's so beautiful and timeless. It has the LVEB essence but it comes off in such a sweet and radiating cloud of vanilla. Smells best on the skin where it can really shine. Something really special about this one.

As someone who intentionally avoids vanilla fragrances, I hesitantly sampled this and was very pleasantly surprised. Yes it’s predominantly vanilla, but the musk and sandalwood push this into more of a cozy, musky, easy wear fragrance. Really enjoying this one!

So simple and yet so gorgeous, goes in my top 3 of best vanilla ever 1) Olympea intense - ambery vanilla 2) Scandal intense - amber floral vanilla 3) La vie est belle nude - creamy vanilla (gourmandy - doesn’t smell like food),

Yummy, dreamy, creamy and perfect. Such a cute girlie girl sweet scent .. Personally this is my favourite flanker. Its so pleasant and instantly makes me happy, love it. Vanilla cupcakes in a bottle 🤍 - Bhavna Darira Chesan
