Which Should You Buy?
This flanker of La Vie Est Belle is a crowd-pleasing, intensely sweet gourmand. Often hailed as superior to the original, it's a 'love at first sniff' for many, though its potent sweetness can be overpowering if applied too liberally.
This Armaf offering is a surprisingly divisive crowd-pleaser. The official notes are clearly dodgy, but it's universally praised as a dead ringer for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle or Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle, delivering 'expensive' scent at a bargain price. Just be prepared for a generous dose of patchouli.
