Nice! But not my style.

Hello dear ones, today two comments from me: Wow, what am I productive ;-)

As some may know, some time ago I wrote a laudatory commentary on LVEB, the "original". I still stand by it, even though I hardly wear the scent anymore. It just doesn't suit me !

Yesterday I was in a perfumery for the first time in a long time, where I could finally test fragrances again with pleasure ! Oh, that felt good. So I tested among other things "La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Parfum". Immediately I was very impressed, I have a weakness for orange blossom, which really jumps at you in this perfume (well, I don't want to exaggerate, but it is very dominant). In addition, it has a certain fruity freshness, at least in the beginning. Soon, sweet vanilla comes into play and gives a homely feeling. For a moment I was inclined to buy the fragrance. Of course also to support a distressed retail business in the crisis.
But, you know, I'm pretty slick now. I know exactly, in the beginning I would be on fire, but in the course of time the enthusiasm would gradually diminish ... I am not the type for it, I would not feel well ... The scent would eventually overwhelm and tire me with its concentrated load of sweetness. The modern gourmand fragrances, all the flower bombs, scandals, olympeas and whatever they're called, instinctively have a strong attraction. You want scent?! Bang, there you go! Right in the twelve! Hardly anyone can resist the smell. It's like a bag of jelly babies with them. You can't stop, but in the end you've had enough. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk No, I've gotten smarter over time: A perfume must suit the type! In my opinion. That's also the reason why many people here in the forum fall for fragrances that they don't like anymore. At another everything may be wonderful and harmonious, but then it just fits. This is like a dress, not every cut and color suits you !
Besides, I'd be very irritated if some Jeremy guy (nothing against Jeremy - he recommends this perfume, by the way) in the elevator standing next to me shouted: "Sexy! In my opinion, the fragrance is something for women who want to please.
I am now definitely out of this phase.
