La Vie Est Belle L’Elixir

La Vie Est Belle L’Elixir isn’t just a stronger La Vie Est Belle. It has its own notes, and cocoa butter is the headline.

Raspberry and bergamot open it brightly. Violet adds a powdery softness that bridges the fruit and the richer base. Rose joins in the heart, and cocoa butter wraps everything in a soft, creamy warmth. Cedar adds dry woodiness, and a leather accord brings another darker texture.

So you get velvety fruit and petals against a creamy, cocoa-like background, with wood and leather keeping it from becoming too sweet.

Evening dinners and cool nights suit it best. Choose it if you want soft warmth around fruit, with flowers still clearly present.

Available in 1.0 oz and 3.4 oz.

Put it side by side with the original La Vie Est Belle or the raspberry-bright Intensément, and the difference is clear. More from Lancôme.
