Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is such a lovely take on LVEB, adding a subtle floral undertone that lightens and lifts the original DNA. It still has all the major components, but is more wearable. And for an eau de toilette, the performance is stellar!
- ✅ This edition of La Vie est Belle, EDT Florale is really pretty. While it maintains the DNA of the original, this Floral version is less sickly sweet and more complex in the sense that it has so many varieties of flowers.
- ✅ Out of the 'La Vie est Belle series' I've only tried the original, the eau de toilette and this Florale one. The Florale one is my favourite by far. I love it so much! It's so refined. The floral mixed with the sugary notes is absolutely to die for.
- ✅ Love this one! This version does have LVEB DNA in it in the drydown, but of all the flankers that I’ve tried, this one is the freshest and most airy. It’s a sweet, feminine floral with a little something extra.
- ✅ This is absolutely gorgeous. It’s not super unique, as it still has that basic LVEB DNA. But it’s basically like the original Le vie est Belle but with floral notes. I really like it ... how can you go wrong?? Easy to wear, great silage, pretty, feminine.:)
- ✅ This is a really good flanker. There are some elements to it which are reminiscent of the original (hence it being a flanker and not a completely separate fragrance) but it is the most different of all the LVEB flankers. It's sweet but in a fresh, sparkling, floral fruity way rather than a rich praline gourmand way.
- ❌ Really bad. At first, it is a bit like the original LVEB, but after a while more flowers can be smelled and the whole blend is quite strange & not pleasant at all.
- ❌ Smells identical to casmere veil and I don't care for either.
- ❌ I don't know why but I'm always attracted to flankers more than the originals... I don't know if the original LVEB was much better, or I'm just getting tired of this scent. I don't sense anything florale about it's just the same praline scent to me as other flankers.
