  1. Exquisite perfume; I picked it up on sale based on the notes and reviews. It’s worlds apart from La Vie est Belle, which overwhelms me and I would never buy. This one is soft, delicate, feminine, with excellent longevity and projection. A wonderful find.

  2. I absolutely love this perfume! A few months ago I received a couple of samples, one eau de parfum and one eau de toilette, and in the end I bought the eau de parfum. They are worlds apart; I simply don’t like the eau de toilette, the rose note is too prominent and it puts me off. In this one, as they say here, there is an incredible, addictive iris that it’s a pleasure to sniff every now and then. It’s feminine, powerful and very pleasant. I don’t know why it hasn’t gained such fame or been talked about so much. I’ve received many compliments when I wear it; in fact, it has become one of my favourites. It has officially joined my collection and I certainly recommend it.

  3. I love it! I tried the eau de parfum and eau de toilette samples months ago and decided on the former. They are two very different things: I don’t like the eau de toilette; the rose note is too prominent and puts me off. In contrast, this has an incredible, addictive iris that it’s a joy to smell every couple of days. It’s feminine, potent, and very pleasant. I don’t understand why it doesn’t have more of a reputation; I’ve received many compliments. It has become one of my favourites. A warm welcome to my collection and I certainly recommend it!

    I tried it because they sent me a sample. I perceive it as a sweet pear with a hint of sandalwood and the iris present. It’s not among my fragrances; it doesn’t stand out for me at all and I feel it’s a scent already well known. In my case, I definitely sensed it as a distant cousin of La Vie Est Belle. I wouldn’t buy it.

    I tried it with a sample. It smells of sweet pear, a touch of sandalwood, and the present iris. It’s not among my fragrances; it doesn’t stand out to me and feels like a known scent. In my case, I did sense it as a distant cousin of La Vie est Belle. I wouldn’t buy it.

    Very rich, sweet but elegant; it is true that it reminds me of Lancôme La Vie Est Belle.

    Very rich, sweet but elegant. It is true that it resembles La Vie est Belle by Lancôme.

    Sweet, floral, and woody. Extatic by Balmain is a kitsch fragrance, straddling between retro eccentricity and a contemporary cross-genre gamble. An excellent option for night outs and cold seasons.

    I’m wearing it right now; I discovered it through a friend and she has left me fascinated. It’s sweet and floral but not too much. I love it!

    Delicious perfume, extremely sweet and long-lasting. It’s not one of those that becomes excessively strong and uncomfortable after a few hours. It’s worth trying.

  13. Beautiful fragrance. For those of us who like sweet perfumes. It’s worth a try. The Sharry Baby orchid is delicious, mature, and oriental. Let me tell you, it smells of chocolate/vanilla. I don’t understand why there are no comments about this perfume. You must try it!

  14. What a gorgeous fragrance. Perfect for those of us who love sweet scents. It’s definitely worth trying. Sharry Baby’s orchid is delicious, mature and oriental. Listen, it’s a flower that smells of chocolate and vanilla. I don’t understand why there are no reviews for it. You must try it.
