La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'

by Dominique Ropion , Anne Flipo

Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L' is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L' opens with Tea, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Iris, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, Ambroxan, and Vanilla. Lancôme's La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L' carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This flanker of La Vie est Belle is a divisive one. Fans of the original might find it too far removed, but for those who find the original too sweet, this bright, sparkling orange blossom is a cheerful, sophisticated alternative.

Despite being an EDT, this fragrance is noted for its strong projection and longevity, indicating it's quite present. The fresh, sophisticated white floral character makes it work-appropriate with a light hand, while its sparkling nature is perfect for casual or date settings. It's too strong and sweet for sport, and not quite formal enough to earn an excellent score.

About

L'Éclat opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, sharpened by pink pepper and a hint of tea. This fresh introduction quickly gives way to a heart of sweet orange blossom, creamy jasmine, and powdery iris, creating a radiant white floral bouquet. The base settles into a soft, musky warmth with a whisper of vanilla, subtly sweetened but far from gourmand, making for a luminous and clean finish.
