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.

Our Verdict - Inspired by La Vie Est Belle
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle (2012) - the Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo praline-iris-patchouli composition that became Lancôme's commercial juggernaut, here translated into a blackcurrant-pear opening over iris and a praline-vanilla-patchouli close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime feminine wear at a fraction of the designer price.
