Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Vie Est Belle Intensément EDP
A bold, sweet and powdery vanilla bomb, La Vie Est Belle Intensément wraps you in raspberry-iris warmth with big projection and lasting power. Not for the shy, it’s a statement gourmand for those who want to be noticed.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.405 La Vie Est Belle EDP
No.405 hits the essential La Vie Est Belle shape - black currant and pear opening into an iris-jasmine heart and a vanilla-praline base - but the finished gourmand warmth is thinner and less enveloping than Lancome's original, which reviewers praise for exceptional, 10-hour-plus longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Vie Est Belle Intensément

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The intense vanilla, raspberry, and powdery warmth make this best for cooler weather and fall or winter, but the fruity floral top keeps it wearable in spring’s chill as well. It can be cloying in high heat, so less suited to summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and gourmand sweetness make it ideal for date nights and formal occasions when you want to make a statement. It's a bit too assertive and sweet for most office or sporty settings.
