Which Should You Buy?
A sparkling, petal-bright twist on the La Vie est Belle theme, bursting with juicy berries and radiant roses. Effortlessly feminine, it’s a crowd-pleasing pick for spring and summer smiles.
This one's a divisive hit from Avon. Many find it surprisingly sophisticated for the price, a dead ringer for Gucci Guilty with better longevity, while others are left cold by what they perceive as a plain, linear scent. Either way, it's a plum-heavy comfort scent with a loyal following.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The luminous berries and fresh rose heart make this an ideal pick for spring and summer, where its lively, bright character shines. Its lightness and freshness mean it is less suited to colder winter days and only somewhat fitting for fall.
Occasions
Its gentle projection and sheer, joyful fruitiness make it perfect for daytime, office, or casual wear. Romantic dates are a great fit thanks to its pretty rose and peony heart, while its subtlety makes it less ideal for formal occasions or sporty scenarios.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and warm, comforting accords make it suitable for casual wear and even office use, as many reviews suggest it's inoffensive. However, its rich, sometimes perceived as heavy, character and longer longevity, tend to make it less ideal for formal events or sports.
