Lancome La Vie est Belle L'Extrait was released in 2023, composed by Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, as a flanker to the best-selling Lancome La Vie est Belle original. An amber floral with notes of frankincense, red fruits, bergamot, iris pallida, damask rose and oud. Lancome La Vie est Belle L'Extrait is an extrait.
From the brand - "Discover La vie est belle: L’Extrait, the new exquisitely irresistible Extrait de Parfum. The voluptuous floral heart of Damascena Rose blends with our signature Iris Pallida. This powerful yet delicate duet is heightened by the depth of the Oud Wood Accord. L’Extrait’s enigmatic scent is a sophisticated and sensual reinterpretation of our iconic Eau de Parfum, La vie est belle. La vie est belle L’Extrait is an invitation to find happiness. Chase it, while following your dreams and cherishing it at every moment. Life is what you make of it. Make it beautiful."
Fragrantica - "This is gorgeous! A deep dark version of La Vie Est Belle with some oud, and buttery Iris. The oud in here smells like the oud in Oud Bouquet to my nose. "
Fragrantica - "What a gorgeous fragrance, one of the best designers I've ever smelled! Definitely a sugary sweet floral at its core, but much more tamed and smoothed out. The iris is stunning in the opening. Very photorealistic, sparkly and full-bodied. Maybe the best feminine designer opening I've tried yet? Sweetness isn't as candy-gourmand-sugary as the original. Overall this feels like a niche quality / style LVEB at designer prices without any weird notes."
Fragrantica - "This is the only LVEB that has made ot to my perfume collection. It is exquisitely complex, deep and alluring. Iris and a creamy woody rose is a very simple way to describe this perfume, but it will give you an idea. It is a MUST try. No doubt about the niche crown this beauty wears."
Fragrantica - "OH MY GOD! Yes please, I will take 10 bottles. Thank you! What is this amazing new perfume???? What is this magic???? What is happening??? THIS IS GORGEOUS! I can't even believe myself... I was not a huge fan of La Vie Est Belle but this is the second flanker in a row that I want to have and spray and spray and spray...over and over again, when the bottle would be empty I would purchase over and over again! I was so in love with Iris Absolu and now THIS???? Dear Lancome let me take a break or I will spend all my money... This is something! This is crazy good! This took me to the cloud 9 of perfume heaven in a split second."
