The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Toilette by Lancôme is a vibrant Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of joy and radiance. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, this scent opens with bright citrus notes from grapefruit, mandarin orange, and bergamot, giving way to a heart of tea, pink pepper, and white florals like orange blossom, neroli, and jasmine. The composition rounds out with musky, powdery, and sweet accords, including iris, ambroxan, Tahitian vanilla, and patchouli, creating a warm and inviting finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal warmth. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly, so reapply as needed throughout the day. This scent reads best close to skin rather than in a room.
