Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo. La Vie est Belle L'Extrait opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Iris Pallida Absolute and Rose, and dries down to a base of Oud. Lancôme's La Vie est Belle L'Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost salty frankincense and juicy red fruits, quickly deepening into the powdery, waxy heart of iris pallida and a rich rose. The base emerges with a refined oud, expertly woven to be more woody and resinous than animalic, lending a dark, earthy sophistication. While recognisably LVEB, it’s a drier, smokier, less sweet interpretation with a luxurious, even chocolatey undertone for some.
