Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L’ Florale is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Claire Liégent. La Vie Est Belle L’ Florale opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Freesia, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Iris, and Amberwood. Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle L’ Florale carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive flanker, this attempts to lighten the iconic LVEB DNA with a floral touch. Many find it fresher and less cloying than the original, while others declare it barely different or outright bad. Expect floral sweetness to the max, but without the praline.

About

Opens with a vibrant burst of redcurrant leaf and bergamot, sharpened by a whisper of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet of osmanthus, violet, and rose, given a powdery softness by iris. It settles into a warm, musk and amberwood base, retaining a sweet floral character without the original's heavy gourmand edge.
