The review
On paper, Gourmand Orange Blossom is a strong bet if you want La Vie Est Belle for less.
Dossier sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is La Vie Est Belle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $58 per 100ml it costs 78% less than La Vie Est Belle — the 8th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Dossier publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on blackcurrant and pear, turns to iris, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into praline, vanilla and tonka. That is the brief Gourmand Orange Blossom is working from.
Top
- blackcurrant
- pear
Heart
- iris
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- praline
- vanilla
- tonka
For the joy of the ordinary. Iris and praline bloom into vanilla and patchouli — a sweet, sunny comfort you reach for daily.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 16 twins of Lancôme La Vie Est Belle we can price, Gourmand Orange Blossom is number 8 on price per 100ml.
