The review
On paper, La Vie Est Belle is a strong bet if you want La Vie Est Belle for less.
The Essence Vault 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 $18 it costs 87% less than La Vie Est Belle.
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 The Essence Vault 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 La Vie Est Belle 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
