Our verdict on La Vie Est Belle L’ Florale: Acquired

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.
