La Vie Est Belle Intensement
La Vie Est Belle Intensement by Lancôme is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the designer price tier. It opens with blackcurrant and pear, moves into iris, jasmine and orange blossom and dries down to praline, patchouli, vanilla and tonka bean. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
