The earthy and woody scent of patchouli subtly underpins the perfume, rounding out the whole experience.
Overall, La Vie est Belle Intensément comes across as sweet and fruity with a creamy, floral heart and a warm, resinous woody base.
Review of La Vie est Belle Intensément
Lancôme's La Vie est Belle Intensément is a warm invitation into a world of deep, sweet allure. Unveiled in 2020, this perfume is clearly designed with women in mind, resonating well with mature yet youthful spirits. Its essence leans toward a sweet symphony, with noticeable fruity undertones that are both charming and enticing. Its floral heart provides a gentle balance, making it more than just a saccharine delight.
The fragrance truly comes alive in the cooler months, making it a great companion for fall and winter. But its versatility does not end there, as it can also add a dash of warmth and sweetness to cooler spring days. Although it may not be the first choice for hot summer days, it could serve as an interesting contrast to the light, fresh fragrances typically preferred during this season.
La Vie est Belle Intensément is a robust fragrance and it doesn't shy away from making its presence felt. It is most at home during an evening out or a relaxed night in, providing a luxurious touch to any leisurely activity. However, its boldness may not suit everyone's daily routine or the formal business setting.
The perfume's scent longevity is commendable, persisting through the hours without becoming too overpowering. However, its value proposition may not be to everyone's liking, as it leans towards the higher end of the price spectrum.
Overall, La Vie est Belle Intensément offers a rich, sweet, and slightly floral perfume experience for women who enjoy a fragrance that’s subtle yet persistent, luxurious yet comforting. Its daring nature may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those seeking a fragrance with depth and warmth, it’s worth considering.
