Which Should You Buy?
This Zara 'dupe' of Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle is a polarising little number. Some adore its fruity sweetness, others recoil from its synthetic tartness. If you're after a cheap thrill that might be gone before you've left the house, this is your pick.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet, fruity character makes it generally suitable for casual wear or dates. The weak performance, however, means it's less ideal for formal events where longevity and strong sillage are often desired, and its sweetness makes it less suitable for office or sport.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Patchouli accords and Iris, Blackcurrant notes
