The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Lancôme, Oui La Vie est Belle is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of joy and celebration. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, this composition opens with bright raspberry and pink pepper, followed by bergamot and rose, which create an effervescent and vibrant heart. The base notes of iris, patchouli, and woody accords bring warmth and depth, grounding the overall composition in a sense of comfort and elegance.

How to wear it

For best results, apply Oui La Vie est Belle to pulse points in the morning for a full day of freshness. The fruity top notes are bright but fade within two hours, making way for the more enduring floral and woody base notes. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room.
