What does La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum Blanche smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, with summer the least favoured. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, though daytime and office use also get votes. It reads as feminine and modern.

The scent is floral, fruity and gourmand. Pink pepper and bergamot open with a light brightness before the white flowers take over in the heart. Balinese patchouli, iris, ambrette seed and musk settle underneath, giving those flowers a soft, powdery base.
