The carnal sweetness of La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche Released in 2012, La Vie Est Belle is an iconic feminine fragrance from the house of Lancôme. This ode to happiness has already been declined many times over. It has given rise to all sorts of olfactory derivatives and its story continues to this day...
La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme is a true manifesto of optimism and freedom. Portrayed on screen by the alluring Julia Roberts, it is just as famous for its floral and oriental scent as for its bottle adorned with a pretty smile. In 2021, it returns to the spotlight, this time presented in a pearly glass case in a new white color. So how did Lancôme manage to transform its original recipe, which still comprises 63 ingredients? What does the emblematic Sourire de Cristal by Lancôme conceal this time? Breakdown of its composition.
The refreshing spark of La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche
Initially, the first version of La Vie Est Belle opened with a tangy, refreshing breath of orange. This time, that lively and incisive character has been further heightened. The top notes of La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche by Lancôme contain bergamot, a small citrus fruit born from the crossing of bitter orange and lemon. Mainly grown in southern Italy, bergamot proves sparkling, fresh and floral. Here it is paired with aldehydes, whose breath is as clean as it is metallic. This element adds an extra vibration to the feminine fragrance La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche, while giving it a greater sense of modernity. To this is added the spicier pep of pink pepper, tickling the nostrils from the very first second.
The floral and luminous heart of La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche
Let us not forget: La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche by Lancôme is a perfume that tells the story of regained happiness. After its initial burst of energy, magic takes hold and light fills this perfume. From there, the heart of La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche is imagined as a radiant burst of cheerfulness. To achieve this, it is composed of several Mediterranean flowers. It contains orange blossom. Derived from the bitter orange tree, it proves much richer and rounder than neroli, which is also found in this fragrance. Reserved for fine perfumery, it is a luxurious and subtle ingredient, at once floral, sweet and citrus. To this duo is added a more opulent jasmine. Emblematic of women's perfumes, it proves heady and carnal. Nothing rivals it for amplifying the sensuality of this composition.
Lancôme opts for a more cocooning base
This radiant bouquet of white flowers ultimately paves the way for the emblematic ingredient of the entire La Vie Est Belle collection: iris. Wonderfully elegant, it shimmers and leaves behind a trail cleaner and more airy than in the past. Its powdery breath is here wrapped in an overdose of musk, for a softer effect, like a second skin. This caress is also paired with a woodier, more addictive patchouli. The result is a perfume with a luminous, dazzling aura.
