The story behind the bottle.
La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum Blanche, launched by Lancôme in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Anne Flipo, is a delicate balance of musky, powdery, and sweet notes. The fragrance opens with the freshness of pink pepper and bergamot, which then gives way to the soft richness of iris and orange blossom. The heart of jasmine sambac and neroli adds an enchanting floral touch before settling into a base of white musk, ambrette (musk mallow), and patchouli. This composition feels like a harmonious blend of elegance and warmth.
Apply two sprays at pulse points for a balanced wear throughout the day. The pink pepper and bergamot opening notes are bright but fleeting, so allow time for the powdery and floral heart to develop on your skin. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than filling a room.
