What does La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Toilette smell like?
Almond and magnolia come first; the heart holds white blossoms absolute, patchouli absolute and iris pallida. The base of tonka bean, praliné, caramel and vanilla sweetens and softens the whole. Fruity and spicy touches stay behind the gourmand core.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear while also suiting evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine and modern. One Avenue Peony and Escada Celebrate N.O.W. have a close profile.
