The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, La Vie Est Belle Glitter by Lancôme is a vibrant Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance created by Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion, and Anne Flipo. This composition opens with the freshness of black currant and pear before transitioning into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom. The base notes of praline, vanilla, patchouli, and tonka bean add warmth and depth, creating an enveloping sweetness that feels both uplifting and comforting.
Apply this fragrance in small, concentrated sprays — it blooms quickly on skin and maintains its warmth throughout the day. Best for daytime wear when its gourmand notes can shine without overpowering evening scents.

“Orange blossom takes a huge part in my signature too. It is the ingredient I would never be fed up with. I could create a thousand perfumes around it, without it ever being redundant.”
