For Summer 2019, Lancome is revamping its iconic La Vie Est Belle fragrance "with a floral fresh, petal-y, generous, and luminous" peony and rose update. Aptly named La Vie Est Belle En Rose ($99 CAD for 50 ml and $132 CAD for 100 ml), this new scent is described as "an invitation to always see the brighter side of life, its pink side". I've got a review of the scent to share with you today. To read on, click......
The Bottle:
The La Vie Est Belle En Rose comes in a slim, marquise-profiled bottle similar to that of the original La Vie Est Belle. The glass is tinted with a diagonal streak of pink that perfectly matches the delicate pink tulle ribbon tied at the neck. The bottle design feels both whimsical yet elegant, reflecting the playful and feminine nature of the fragrance itself.
The Scent:
Opening on a mouthwatering note of raspberry and red berries, La Vie Est Belle En Rose is a very fruity fragrance with a subtle floral base. The berry remains center stage for the duration of its wear as the rose and patchouli play a supporting role. With a strong sillage and impressive longevity (around five to six hours), La Vie Est Belle En Rose is quite sweet. A little woodiness and earthiness comes through as the berry and floral fade but the scent is still too saccharine for my nose so I would only recommend it to those that really enjoy a sugary fruity fragrance.
Availability:
Lancome is available online and in stores at Sephora, The Bay, Shoppers, London Drugs, and www.lancome.ca.
