Why did they pollinate the beautiful flowers with plastic?
La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Toilette starts off refreshingly sweet - fruity, but also subtly citrusy - herbal.
At first, a sweet and fruity note can be perceived, which gives the top note a "soft" quality and is thanks to the mandarin.
At the same time, the mandarin is underlined by another fruity note, which is responsible for giving the top note a somewhat illuminating quality and comes from grapefruit.
These two notes are enveloped by a lively, peppy note that provides the top note with a pleasant refreshing feeling and originates from pink pepper.
In the background, a fine subtle citrusy - herbal nuance of bergamot can be detected, which further enhances the "refreshing feeling".
The entire top note is carried by a typically tea-like aura, which brings a hint of hibiscus and lotus, giving it a pleasantly uplifting quality.
Already in the top note, a "hint" can be perceived, which unfortunately becomes even stronger in the heart note.
This constellation is perceptible on my skin for 20 minutes before the heart note unfolds.
Now, a sparkling, floral, and very bright note is noticeable, which gives the fragrance a pleasant lightness and is thanks to the neroli in combination with orange blossom absolute.
These two notes are enveloped by very pleasant floral notes, which bestow a very intense femininity to the fragrance and come from jasmine absolute.
In the background, a deep and also captivating floral note can be perceived, which gives the fragrance a pleasant substance and originates from Turkish rose.
All of this smells remarkably good; however, the fragrance is slightly overshadowed by the hint from the top note, which becomes increasingly evident the closer one gets to the skin:
Namely plastic, which retreats almost completely after 3 hours, but unfortunately not entirely.
The heart note is perceptible on my skin for 5 hours before the base takes over.
Now, a very fine and subtle powdery - floral note can be detected, which gives the fragrance something "beautiful" and is thanks to iris concrete.
There is also a slight earthy, sweet nuance that provides a certain depth and is due to patchouli.
These two notes are enclosed by a clear and transparent note, which comes from ambroxan in combination with musk.
La Vie est Belle L'Éclat L'Eau de Toilette is a pleasant companion in the spring, summer, and autumn months for younger and older women who are looking for a light, bright, floral, and flowery fragrance and can overlook the hint of plastic.
Overall, the fragrance lasts 8 hours on my skin.
The sillage is designed from the beginning to be clearly noticeable at arm's length, and this is maintained for 3 hours before it gradually reduces until the fragrance finally fades completely.
