description

La Vie Est Belle, French for "life is beautiful," is a statement on the world around us, infused with meaning, with both a conscience and a soul. Le Vie Est Belle is for the woman who lives in the present, who is filled with honesty, truth and gratitude, and who is free of social constraint, to emblazon her own unique path. La Vie Est Belle represents a choice-the choice to create your own path to happiness. La Vie Est Belle is the fragrance of joyful femininity that makes life more beautiful. Made with the most precious natural ingredients, La Vie Est Belle entwines the elegance of iris with the strength of patchouli and the sweetness of praline. Floral notes of Sambac, Jasmine and Tunisian Orange Blossom are added in the form of sublime absolutes.

Simply stated, I find this to be a cheap (in the olfactory sense) rip off of Coco Mlle.

I've had a sample of this for a while and avoided trying it, because the patchouli & praline made me think it would just be a disappointing Angel clone (I love Thierry Mugler's Angel, but the...

Nordstrom sent me a sample of this with some makeup I ordered. It is overbearing, cloying, way too sweet and headache inducing. Usually I give away sample vials I do not care for , but that I...

I received a sample from Sephora, sprayed it on, and I wish I hadn't. It's just another sweet, sugary, vanilla-y fragrance that stops short of giving me a headache. I'm glad I didn't buy it. As...

Ugh, the EDP is so SWEET! :o( I just can't wear this or the highly successful Flowerbomb that it's ripping off (and I have both). They're both just too richly thickly candied & syrupy sweet (and...

This perfume is housed in such a lovely bottle! So chic! At first, it is quite sweet, but then it dries down into a really lovely day scent. I was actually surprised at the complexity of it, and...

I smelled this in a magazine ad sample and adored it. When I went to Macy's to try it on that was not the case. It is grossly simple - sweet and nothing else. Drug store Calgon is more complex than...

The initial smell is unappealing-i think it's likely the patchouli and I'm so not a fan of patchouli....but then, that fades and what's left is a delicious caramel, vanilla, creme brulee...

Amazing! This scent is addictive! Right away it smells a bit too sweet but once it dries down it smells set. Men love it!

This smelled lovely and intriguing in the bottle - an irresistible sexy vanilla. When I sprayed it on, however, it went straight to nasty: cigarettes and cherry coke. Jut did not work at all with...

In my opinion, this is a better version of V&R Flowerbomb. It's not as heavy or cloying. You don't need a lot of it and the lasting power is great. Sweet and floral. My recent favorite fragrance....
