  1. Magnaroma

    It’s basically La Vie Est Belle with a hint of oud. It lasts forever and the price-to-quality ratio is brutal. It caught me off guard; I’m not usually a fan of sweet scents, so I keep it for winter, but if you want to stand out, it’s an absolute bomb with insane projection.

  2. Sweet, floral, and woody. I like it more every time I wear it; it’s the LVEB version but much more wearable. What hooks me most is that powdery sweetness with an oud base that gives it character. I’ve been wearing it since autumn and it works brilliantly: great trail and over 8 hours on the skin. Perfect for the cold to give you some warmth and super economical. 10/10.

    To me, it’s the naughty LVEB: dark, mysterious, and deep. The oud adds a bitter touch that removes the cloying sweetness and makes it sensual. Imagine a Disney princess dressed in leather with a whip. Very long-lasting with excellent projection. Simply delicious.

  4. Very much in the style of La Vie Est Belle, but more wearable. It’s not my absolute favourite, but I do like it. It smells lovely if you enjoy sweets without finding them repulsive.

  5. A sweet and elegant delight that lasts for ages on clothes. At first, it reminded me of CK Euphoria Deep, but then it becomes more vanilla-like. I recommend it for winter, cold climates, or going out at night.

  6. I bought this because I own several perfumes from this French brand and tested it in their exclusive store; the scent is very special and sweet. I applied it to my clothes as it doesn’t last long on my skin, but it held up quite well there. I searched online and found it cheaper, shipped by the same chain. My surprise was that it smells incredible when first applied, but after three hours there’s no trace left on my skin; it lasts very little, and a bit longer on clothes. This has happened twice before with online purchases from this brand, which is strange if it’s the same perfumery sending counterfeit goods, given the significant price difference. My opinion is that it’s ephemeral; I don’t know if the one from the store is the same, but it smells wonderful and it’s a pity it doesn’t last longer.

This has happened twice with this brand buying online, and I’m surprised it’s the same if it’s the same perfumerie, although the price is very different. My opinion is that it smells good but is ephemeral on my skin.
