A new iridescent bottle signed Lancôme

Like all perfumes in the La Vie Est Belle collection, La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal comes in a bottle originally designed in 1949. It was named the “Sourire de Cristal” (Crystal Smile), in reference to the shape of its glass base, which forms a smile. Its shape remains unchanged. However, La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal is this time adorned with a new, more flamboyant lacquer. Its glass walls are dressed in a holographic finish, playing with color through shifting light reflections. At its neck, a silk chiffon ribbon completes its femininity and its poetic quality.

The exotic and floral breath of La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal

La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal by Lancôme unfolds a sillage that is both fresh and warm. It all begins with an airy sensation, emanating from a tart, fruity mandarin. Its sweetness, emblematic of oriental perfumes, then gives way to a more floral and suave scent of ylang-ylang. On a more exotic register, this raw material delivers a spicy, jasmine-tinged cloud. Vanilla then amplifies the sensual side of this essence, before giving way to a gourmand, milky coconut… A true delight, as if coming from distant, exotic lands where the sun shines at its zenith all year round!

Olfastory’s review

In 2012, the house of Lancôme decided to write a new chapter in its history by creating a perfume that is now world-famous: La Vie Est Belle. Devoted to radiant femininity and happiness, this fragrance took little time to secure a prime place in women's perfumery. On screen, La Vie Est Belle is also embodied by a leading actress: the seductive Julia Roberts. Once again, in 2021, the beautiful actress appears set to lend her face to a new creation. La Vie Est Belle reinvents itself and becomes La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal. Here is our review of this fragrance.

The advertising

Julia Roberts and the fountain

An advertising catalogue lists a television spot titled “Shine Bright” with Julia Roberts, crediting the agency Publicis and the media agency Wavemaker. The same catalogue describes the scene: the actress enters a formal Parisian evening event, steps into a fountain whose mist and refracted light make the crowd smile, then slips a pink rose into a young man's hand.

A retailer article presents Julia Roberts as the face of La Vie est Belle since the very first edition. A promotional film devoted to Soleil Cristal, showing the visual of the bottle, was released online in March 2021.
