Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Vivacité
This one's a cheeky clone, no doubt, but the general consensus is that it's a softer, more versatile take on the original's overly sweet character. You're getting bang for your buck here, with performance that won't let you down and a scent profile that's widely appealing.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cuba La Vida
A divisive dupe that promises La Vie Est Belle on a budget. This is all about the sweet fruit and patchouli, but its fleeting performance truly lets it down for many, despite the bargain price.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Vivacité

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet, prominent accords make it fantastic for dates and casual wear, drawing compliments without being overbearing. While wearable in the office when applied lightly, its richness might be a bit much for very formal or sporty settings.

Cuba La Vida

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, bold, and fruity nature makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, but its sometimes overwhelming strength and lack of longevity cited by many reviews make it less suitable for formal or office settings. The ease of reapplication due to its 'body spray' nature makes it perfect for on-the-go casual use.
