The Story

Launched in 2020 by Lancôme, La Vie Est Belle Collector Edition is a collaboration between perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Olivier Polge. This floral fruity gourmand fragrance opens with the bright freshness of black currant and pear, leading to a heart of Tuscan iris, orange blossom, and jasmine sambac that reads as lush and vibrant. The base notes of patchouli, praline, tonka bean, and vanilla create an earthy warmth that anchors the composition in comfort and sweetness.

The fragrance's rich history is woven through its layers, capturing the essence of Lancôme’s heritage with a modern twist. Its sweet and warm character makes it a perfect companion for moments when you want to feel both confident and cozy.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The top notes are bright but fade quickly, so rely on the heart and base notes that develop over time. It’s best suited for evenings or cooler days when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
