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!

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.
