Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu opens with Pear and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Praline. Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This flanker of La Vie Est Belle is a punchy, ultra-sweet gourmand that divides opinion sharply. Lovers rate its luxurious, intense depth, while detractors find its sweetness cloying and headache-inducing. It's a powerhouse, not for the faint-hearted.

About

L'Absolu opens with juicy pear and dark blackcurrant, quickly transitioning into a rich floral heart of iris, rose, and orange blossom, which adds a powdery, sophisticated edge. The base is an indulgent blanket of creamy praline, warm vanilla, and tonka bean, softened by cashmere wood.
