What does La Vie est Belle L'Elixir Very Cherry smell like?
It opens with the fruity sweetness of black cherry, and violet leaf absolute brings a floral, slightly green touch to the heart. In the base, Bourbon vanilla and cocoa butter bring out the gourmand side, while oud adds a spicy, woody depth.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, though leisure wear isn't far behind. Most see it as feminine and modern. Jesus del Pozo In Black and Givenchy L'Interdit Elixir have a similar profile.
