Which Should You Buy?
This is LVEB's quieter, more refined little sister - all the charm without the shout. It's a crowd-pleaser that gives you that expensive Lancome vibe for a fraction of the cost.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Lancome La Vie Est Belle (2012) - blackcurrant, iris and praline translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
