The review
La Vie Est Belle scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing La Vie Est Belle.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $33 per 100ml it costs 88% less than La Vie Est Belle — the 4th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle is blackcurrant and pear at first, iris, jasmine and orange blossom at its heart and praline, vanilla and tonka at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
