In the second half of 2014, La Vie Est Belle L'Absolu is also launched, more intense and more luxurious than the previous ones. It was developed by perfumes Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo, who chose to emphasize the sweet notes of the original. The composition opens with accords of black currant and pear.
