But, before diving into its smell, you need to understand
what “fragrance Notes” are.
You can think of them as a song, different layers of the
song. Which come up together in harmony to create a beautiful melody. There are
multiple types of fragrance notes. Well, fragrance notes are divided into three
categories:
1. Top Notes
These are the first impressions you perceive when you spray
the perfume. They usually last 10-15 minutes but can also last longer. They are
usually light and fresh. But have a high volatility which means that they
evaporate swiftly within sometime after being sprayed. Their purpose is to
create the first impressions. So they are like opening stage of the fragrance.
2. Middle Notes
Middle notes are also known as the heart notes. They
take the spot after the top notes evaporate. You can consider them the main
character of the fragrance, which last quite longer than the top notes, like
for several hours. Well, the middle notes give the fragrance its main identity
and can also be considered the heart of the fragrance.
3. Base Notes
Like their name, they are the foundation of any fragrance.
They are often the most long-lasting notes. Because they give the foundation to
the fragrance, they can also be referred to as signature or soul of
the fragrance. They can usually last from hours to days on the fabric and are
rich and warmth.
Now that we have understood what Fragrance notes are. Now,

Let’s break it down!
La
Vie Est Belle is classified as a floral gourmand, blending
sweet edible notes with classic florals and a soft, comforting base. It strikes
a beautiful balance between sensuality and approachability.
Top Notes: A Juicy First Impression
- Pear
- Blackcurrant
(Cassis)
The
opening is bright, fruity, and fresh. The pear adds a crisp, juicy sweetness,
while the blackcurrant brings a touch of tartness that helps keep the opening
from veering into syrupy territory.
Heart Notes: Sophistication in Bloom
- Iris Pallida
- Orange
Blossom
- Jasmine
Sambac
This
is where the fragrance becomes unmistakably elegant. Iris Pallida is the star,
giving the scent its powdery, velvety core. Orange blossom adds a soft,
luminous floralcy, and jasmine sambac brings in warmth and a bit of creaminess,
creating a full-bodied floral heart.
Base Notes: Sweet, Warm, and Addictive
- Praline
- Vanilla
- Patchouli
- Tonka Bean
As
the scent dries down, the warmth and richness take center stage. The praline
and vanilla give it that unmistakable gourmand sweetness, but it’s grounded by
earthy patchouli and tonka bean. The result is comforting and luxurious, with
excellent staying power.
While
talking about its performance, it’s very clear that the perfume has a very
notable performance. Its strong performance is also its great strength. Without
being aggressive, it has a solid presence. This makes it an excellent choice
for those who want to leave a lasting impression without overwhelming the room.
Its
longevity comfortably lasts 6 to 8 hours on the skin, and often extends on the
cloth as well. Especially, on cooler days or low humidity days, it could remain
from morning to evening without the need to be reapplied.
Silage
goes from moderate to strong. It radiates gently around the wearer and leaves a
sweet trail without being felt intrusive. Although, it is not the room filler,
but it definitely makes an entrance.
When
talking about its vibe or character, it leans toward a modern,
grounded kind of elegance. It isn’t excessively strong, rather balanced by
structured and warmth.
It’s
rather sweet, joyful and content than mysterious and edgy. Thus, it is liked a
lot. So Lancôme's La Vie
Est Belle
doesn’t chase attention – rather it invites! Thus, it is not edgy or bold, but
