It’s deeper and with more prominent vanilla than the original. I will say, I was wary of this because of the powdery accord and the heliotrope, which I usually can’t get on with. But here, it’s very tame and suuuuper smooth, beautifully blended to where this leans more cake than bouquet. Cuddly, cozy, feminine, luxe, yet wearable. Lancome is a luxury cosmetics retailer offering award-winning skincare and makeup collections.
If only there were a more woodsy note to make this a womanly perfume rather than a bright girly one. Meh it’s ok nothing special to me, I’ve tried all the flankers so far and nothing beats original imo. This version is very raspberry and vanilla heavy.
I love the way it lays on the skin, very hard to describe. Reminds me of by Kilian’s Love (Don’t Be Shy). I bought the 3.4oz it was a good thing I did because Lancome makeup on me over spraying is mandatory.(premakeup- 6 sprays with one out the door clothing shot) I have to refresh at lunch and once more during a shift.

Just received my bottle from Spain, I live in Australia, and to me on my first spray, it is a mix of l’Absolu and LVEB Intense. It is nice, I am only just starting with it, but it feels like a softer version of those two. Definitely glad I have it, but I’m glad I have a couple of bottles of the original intense, as I love that one so much. I would like to start off by saying I have the original La Vie Est Belle and I have several of the other flankers. I have and love LVEB and most of its flankers, I feel I will cherish them for many years to come, however Intensement has let me down.
There’s no oomph factor here, it’s just one of those nice, humble, politically correct perfumes that smell good and don’t pretend to be something they’re not. Deeper, richer, less juicy, sweet and creamy with more complex character and little bit more mature presence, but Estee Lauder makeup still sexy, playful and alluring. I agree with someone here who said it smells clean and almost soapy. Then It changes quit a lot and is far from being generic. The dry down is sweet and indeed reminds more of the original LVEB. The sandalwood gives it a different twist.
I mean, this scent is strong and projects well, but in no way is this more intense than the original LVEB. To me this is a fall/winter scent, but I can see people who have LVEB as a signature wearing this in the summer, as it is a tad more lightweight and more fruity than the original. Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR This is indeed in the same vibe as Tresor La Folie & Mon Guerlain. I also get some sweetened almond + tonka, as in Poison Girl. To me it’s a completely different fragrance, except that it’s also sweet with a lot of vanilla. I am actually very happy I decided to blind buy this.
