Which Should You Buy?
A modern icon for those who love unapologetic sweetness, La Vie Est Belle fuses juicy fruit, powdery iris, and decadent praline into a signature that is both luminous and indulgent. Not for the shy, but unforgettable on the right wearer.
Inspired by Lancome La Vie Est Belle. The blackcurrant-iris-praline gourmand formula reads correctly, but No. 168 pushes sweetness over the original's soft powdery iris, and fades faster.
