Which Should You Buy?
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.

Our Verdict - La Vie Est Belle (Rollerball)
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Lancome's La Vie Est Belle (2012) - Olivier Polge, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion's iris-praline gourmand-floral, here in a portable rollerball reading with the iris-praline-patchouli spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for purse-carry and touch-up wear.
