Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - La Vie est Belle L'Extrait
Lancôme's La Vie est Belle L'Extrait is a polarising beast. Forget the original's saccharine simplicity; this is a sophisticated, woody iris that divides opinion sharpish. Some find it a masterpiece of subtle oud and lipsticky florals, while others balk at its 'mature' or even 'foul' opening. Definitely not one for a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Jardin Botanique
A truly gorgeous, sensual rose and oud powerhouse that's totally unisex. Don't blind buy, but give it a try if you want to smell expensive and sophisticated.
