La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche, a perfume rooted in current events
While most perfumes draw inspiration from travel and exotic destinations, La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche draws its source from current events. Indeed, because we have just gone through two years of unprecedented crisis and are finally regaining a measure of freedom, Lancôme decided to turn this into a feminine fragrance. La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche is likely the most enveloping composition in the entire collection. It is a sillage of pure joy and spreads cheerfulness like a contagious burst of laughter. From there, it becomes almost impossible to resist its charm.
A bottle paying tribute to Julia Roberts's iconic gown
As for the bottle, La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche preserves Lancôme's history while offering a small novelty. Its fully frosted, perfectly transparent glass has disappeared in favor of a new, more pearly, beaded and luminous casing. Of course, this allows Lancôme to evoke the sun-kissed ingredients contained in this fragrance, but not only that. It is also a nod to the gown worn by Julia Roberts in Lancôme's advertising. Face of the campaign for La Vie Est Belle since 2012, she wears a shimmering gown, which now seems to make its way onto the bottle. La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche still comes in the emblematic Sourire de Cristal by Lancôme, a historic bottle first revealed in 1949.
When Lancôme's iris takes on an entirely different face
Like all editions of La Vie Est Belle, La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche reclaims the scent of iris. Indeed, it is its emblematic flower, known for its powdery, highly elegant breath. It appears in the base notes of this perfume, paired with patchouli and musk. La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche becomes more enveloping than its predecessors. Its light, meanwhile, remains ever-present. La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche radiates through the presence of sambac jasmine, orange blossom and neroli. This generous bouquet appears at its heart, following a much more incisive opening. La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum Blanche lights up with aldehydes, pink pepper and bergamot. It comes across as an explosion of purity and an immaculate burst on skin.
