The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Lancôme and crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude is a warm embrace of vanilla and powdery musk. The fragrance opens with solar notes and jasmine before settling into the rich depth of bourbon vanilla and white musk. Sandalwood adds a woody base that grounds the composition in comfort and elegance. This scent is designed to evoke a sense of serene joy, drawing on Lancôme's legacy of French sophistication.
Apply La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude to pulse points for a warm, enveloping effect. The bourbon vanilla top note is bright but fades quickly, so follow up with an additional application after two hours to maintain its warmth throughout the day.
