The story behind the bottle.
La Vie Est Belle Gold Rose Edition by Lancôme was launched in 2022 and is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Created by perfumers Dominique Ropion, Olivier Polge, and Anne Flipo, this composition opens with the bright, fresh notes of black currant and pear, leading to a heart of orange blossom, jasmine, and iris that radiates warmth and sweetness. The base of tonka bean, patchouli, vanilla, and praline adds depth and earthiness, creating a rich and comforting finish.
Apply this fragrance two sprays at a time — it blooms beautifully over an hour as the base notes emerge. It's perfect for evening wear when you want to feel both elegant and comforting.
