What does La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Toilette smell like?
It wears well, with good longevity and projection. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter the least favoured. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and can also work for evenings out. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it modern or classic.
It opens with grapefruit, mandarin orange and bergamot for a bright citrus lift, with tea and pink pepper adding a dry edge. The heart is floral: jasmine absolute, neroli, orange blossom absolute and Turkish rose. In the base, ambroxan, musk and patchouli soften the sweetness, while orris concrete leaves a powdery trail.
