Lancôme La vie est belle

Lancôme La vie est belle Eau de Parfum

Scent Profile

A sweet-floral gourmand centered around a rich iris accord, balanced with juicy pear and blackcurrant, bright orange blossom and jasmine sambac, and a warm base of patchouli, spun sugar, and creamy vanilla.

Longevity & Performance

Longevity: Excellent—typically lasts 8–12+ hours on skin, with strong staying power noted by reviewers.

Projection: Strong opening projection that settles into a pleasant and lasting sillage; however, 1–2 sprays are recommended to avoid overpowering others.

Reputation & Reception

Positive: One of Lancôme’s best-selling and most loved fragrances; praised for its happy, elegant iris-vanilla blend—featured by Allure as a classic floral perfume and consistently rated highly.

Criticism: Its ubiquity leads to some divided opinions—overuse can cause fatigue, and some find it overly sweet or synthetic, reminiscent of body spray.
