I've had a thing for the La Vie Est Belle ‘fragrance family’ for a few years now. If you've been following my blog for a couple of years, you may remember a review I wrote on the original fragrance two Christmases ago.
The premise of the original fragrance evokes such thoughts of beauty, freedom and happiness, indicating that the fragrance represents a kind of outlook on life. This remains unchanged in the evolution of La Vie Est Belle as La Vie Est Belle en Rose bears another outlook and meaning.
After falling in love with the original scent from the Lancôme family, there will always be a place on my dresser for new additions to gather and join as I work on a collection of my own.
If you haven't stumbled across La Vie Est Belle en Rose before, I hope this post will encourage you to experience not only the fragrance and the collection, but the unique idea and story behind the range.

To begin, La Vie Est Belle en Rose opens on a note with a ripe burst of red fruits at its core, making the scent both colourful and slightly acidic. Then follows a joyful bouquet of flowers. Once the fragrance has settled on the skin, peony on a bed of fresh and crispy roses can be detected.
At the base of the scent, both sandalwood and patchouli bring a creaminess and sensuality to the dry down. The addition of musk gives a soft, second-skin effect, perfect for the awakening of summer memories.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS LA VIE EST BELLE EN ROSE
La Vie Est Belle en Rose the eau de toilette is a powerfully feminine fragrance, which will take you through hot summer days and dreamy warm equinox evenings. Upon application, the scent is intensely seductive, softening gradually over the hours of wear.
Lancôme’s La vie Est belle en rose is a natural mood-enhancer and compliment-fetcher; delightfully sparking a fresh and long-lasting aroma wherever you go. Upon frequent wear as my go-to scent this season, I would regard
as a light, fresh and ever so slightly less sweet fragrance compared to the original scent at the head of the family.
The iconic presence of La Vie Est Belle is at the forefront of en Rose, as the delicate glass bottle is adorned with a hue of pink which I believe represents a rose-tinted view on the world from within.
The famous organza wings of freedom from the original glass bottle make an appearance here once again and their burst of pink pop of colour hints at an ode to an optimistic outlook on life once more.
