What does La Vie est Belle Bouquet de Printemps smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Only a few votes have been cast, so these ratings are tentative. It reads feminine.

The top is bergamot, pink pepper and Williams pear. The heart carries rose, jasmine and orange blossom, with lily of the valley alongside. In the base, orris, calisson and patchouli settle the florals into a powdery, gourmand sweetness. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb (Eau de Parfum) and Lacoste Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle have a close profile.
