Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fannan Wardi Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cuba La Vida Eau de Parfum
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.

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet, inviting accords make it suitable for dates and more relaxed formal events, while its slightly toned-down projection compared to its inspiration makes it surprisingly office-friendly. The strong sillage noted in some reviews suggests it's best for intimate settings or when you want to make a subtle statement.

Cuba La Vida Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

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.
