La Vie Est Belle Intensément smells soooooooo so so good from my perspective . I purchased a decant to see if it would make a worthy gift for someone special and i immediately hopped online and ordered a full bottle. It smells great close up and even better when you get a waft of the fragrance in the air. It is however intense so max two sprays if indoors.
Not sure why this version of LVEB is called Intensement when it’s not all that similar to the original and also much more powdery. It kind of smells like an upscale vanilla cakepop, with raspberry ever so lightly in the background. Quite a lovely, comforting and inoffensive Lancome makeup fragrance for the gourmand lover who wants something that’s still sweet but in a more elegant formulation. Not convinced of the longevity, you might have to overspray this one depending on your skin’s chemistry. I got a sample of the Intesment and wow I love it!
Its strong, with a delicious burst of raspberry. Any patchouli goes away rather quickly, thank goodness! Your left with sweet raspberry, vanilla, benzoin and maybe I pick up on the heliotrope. This one changed my mind about La Vie Est Belle line. Won’t lie, I can’t detect any visible fleur d’oranger, jasmine or heliotrope but after a while you can certainly notice a good trace of powdery iris. The base is a robust sweet mix of vanilla and benzoin.
Don’t spray too much of this for best results. Has amazing lasting power, you can still smell it when you wake up. Best for spring and summer but can be worn all year round. A very safe, mass appealing scent that will be sure to turn heads. This newer release is a strongerEau de Parfumconcentration, making it perform and last much longer than the original Eau de Toilette version, which suffered from longevity issues.
