The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, La Vie Est Belle Intensément by Lancôme is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Nicolas Beaulieu. It opens with a bright burst of raspberry and pink pepper, leading to a heart of heliotrope, jasmine sambac, and orange blossom that creates a floral sweetness balanced by the warmth of vanilla and iris. The base notes of benzoin, patchouli, and sandalwood add depth and a lingering spiciness, rounding out a composition that feels both classic and modern.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it blooms over time, allowing each note to reveal itself gradually. The raspberry and pink pepper are fleeting but vibrant, while the base notes will last through the evening.
