Lancôme once again reimagines La Vie est Belle. Since its release in 2012, Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle has kept people talking! With its talented ambassador, Julia Roberts, its refined bottle and its gourmand scent, it brings together all the ingredients to remain among the best-selling fragrances on the planet.
Lancôme sees life through rose-colored glasses with its La Vie est Belle fragrance
Since 2012, the house of Lancôme has been spreading a breath of optimism across the world. Indeed, for several years now, Lancôme has shone through the creation of one of the greatest fragrances of the decade: La Vie Est Belle. Embodied on screen by the seductive Julia Roberts, it never stops bringing a smile to women's faces and making them succumb to the temptation of its floral, gourmand breath. Presented in a bottle called the crystal smile, La Vie Est Belle is a concentrate of cheerfulness to indulge in daily! Today, it returns in a new form, now called La Vie Est Belle En Rose. Let us look at how this new fragrance is composed, at once fruity, floral and slightly spicy…
La Vie Est Belle En Rose by Lancôme, a fruity and sharp opening
La Vie Est Belle En Rose does not beat around the bush and immediately displays the dynamism and spirit of the woman who wears it. Indeed, it appeals both to those who are cheerful and delighted to be alive, and to women with a strong character. Its joyful facet emerges from a fruity blend composed of red fruits, and more specifically raspberry, and bergamot. This citrus delivers an intense freshness here, a token of all the dynamism of the Lancôme woman. However, its frosty bite is counterbalanced by another, far more incandescent ingredient, pink pepper. As one can tell, La Vie Est Belle En Rose opens with a play of contrasts giving rise to an explosion of flavors.
The infinitely floral heart of La Vie Est Belle En Rose
Then, as always in this collection, Lancôme develops its fragrance toward extreme femininity. Thus, La Vie Est Belle En Rose is built around a floral heart, resembling an enormous bouquet. Two varieties of rose are represented here: Damask rose and rose from Grasse. Cherished by women since antiquity, rose reveals here its full duality. It is at once romantic and spirited. In other words, one should not be fooled solely by its silky petals, and should beware its sharp thorns! Lily of the valley, for its part, brings lightness to the whole with its small spring bells. Finally, peony completes this floral heart. It acts here as a binder for the whole. Moreover, many consider its scent to be close to both rose and lily of the valley. Peony thus creates greater harmony within this bouquet.
Lancôme relies on a noble, creamy base
Finally, to complete this fragrance, Lancôme chose to turn to one of the noblest ingredients in the perfumer's entire palette: iris. Due to its rarity and complexity, this flower is reserved solely for fine perfumery. Here, it leaves in the sillage of La Vie Est Belle En Rose a more powdery and highly refined scent. It is accompanied by a woody breath of sandalwood and patchouli. The roundness of rose brings a warmer side to this fragrance. Finally, La Vie Est Belle En Rose concludes with all the animalic quality of musk, which speaks volumes about the sensuality of the new Lancôme woman.
