La Vie est... Boring!
Dear community,

I like the La Vie est Belle - series!

So, now it's out.

(Oh dear, do I see the angry mob with pitchforks on the horizon?! *ducks away*)

For many of you, this, especially the classic LVEB, is the epitome of boredom. Uninspiring, or worse: The ultimate mainstream! *shivers*

But I stand by it and was of course completely thrilled when I first heard about the latest flanker "Intensement." The desire to test it was awakened immediately, and at the first opportunity, I jumped in blindly.

Shortly after spraying, you perceive the familiar LVEB DNA for a minimal short time. However, this quickly gives way to a sea of red fruits. In the top note, it is said that raspberry is responsible for this. However, I can't specifically identify it. Rather, it seems as if all kinds of red berries have agreed to a flash mob.

Well, what can I say... From this moment on, you wait eagerly but unfortunately in vain for the scent to change again. Where are the red iris, the red vanilla, or the benzoin? It seems as if they just managed to get to safety in time. Safe, from the invasion of the red berries!

The floral notes of the heart note have also (warning, pun!) heartily decided to stay away from the event.
At most, a slight powderiness drizzles down on the fruit bombs towards the end of the scent's progression. However, these cannot be properly contained.

I am really disappointed. Only the pretty bottle in Bordeaux red can excite me. Aside from that, this is a narcotic red fruit soup that robs me of my senses.

Thus, I will stick with the predecessors LVEB EdP Intense and L'Absolu and patiently wait for the next flanker. Because it will surely come!

Autumn Garden
A dear perfumer recommended that I test Intensement - and I am very open to tips.

At first, I had avoided La vie est belle because I didn't like the artificial woman Roberts in the commercial.

But then I couldn't resist a special offer - and LVEB made its way into our home.

A good deed, because the fragrance truly conveys the feeling that life can be beautiful.
There followed several flankers - all of which are independent but carry the genes of the original mother.
So it is with Intensement.

It is the beautiful life in the orchard, surrounded by raspberry bushes.
It does not deny its kinship to the original scent - although its theme is the soft sweet raspberry.
Although vanilla is added, Intensement does not become too sweet - and certainly not sticky, as jasmine and orange blossom float above it.

A welcome garden feeling that I enjoy indoors, as the drizzling rain is pounding on my beds outdoors.

The fragrance fits well in autumn, due to its ripe fruitiness.

This flanker also finds its place in the La Vie est Belle family.

Sensory Deception...
When I first sprayed the perfume, I didn't have the different notes clearly in mind, which is why I had no concrete idea or expectation.
I suspected it would be sweet, and my only hope was that it would smell different from the original LVEB, as I unfortunately didn't like that one at all.
The first note I perceived was the pear. It immediately made me think of La Belle.. The second perfume that came to mind was La Nuit Trésor à la Folie. For me, it is a blend of the two scents.
After that, I really wanted to check the notes, and lo and behold, pear is not listed, but raspberry is. With this knowledge and some time that has passed, I also distinctly smelled the raspberry, and the 'pear aroma' had vanished. What raspberry definitely has in common with pear is the strong sweetness.
The LVEB Intensément clearly stands out from the original, which is why I like it much better! I was not disappointed.

Safety thanks to you!
By chance, I discovered you.
I wasn't quite sure what to think of you. You were sweet, initially much too fruity, but in the base so soft, vanilla-like.
I had to try you again and again and never knew if we would become friends.
During a very oppressive time, I sprayed you on and since then I feel embraced, safe, protected by you. Over and over again. As if a very good friend were comforting me in her arms.
I don't perceive you constantly, but now and then you show me that you are there and send me a nice gesture, and I know you are by my side.
You have elicited a compliment from my dearest person, and thus I associate you even more with happiness and love.

You are my absolute number one.
I keep coming back to you.
I hope we remain friends forever,
I hope you always look out for me!

A Good Mood Day in Summer
First of all, I want to note that yes, it is a beautiful, fine, and life-affirming fragrance! Now here comes the but.... for an Intense, it definitely does not last long enough for me; after 4-6 hours, there is only a light, quite pleasant and fragrant little perfume left. Life's joy should burst with energy and should also be a bit louder. It adapts to its predecessors as it is pleasing, will appeal to many girls of all ages, and the house of Lancome still has that French flair. The bottle looks very nice, feels good in the hand, and is an eye-catcher with its cheeky little red scarf.
I find this scent floral-fruity with a sweet base. Patchouli has hidden itself well - it only peeks around the corner cautiously..... it seems a bit shy to show itself.
The development feels to me like a fruit basket sitting outside on the table in summer, next to it a large bouquet of wonderfully fragrant flowers, and as a third element, a big bowl of melted vanilla ice cream. You sit at the table with your eyes closed, and all the aromas mix and rise to your nose. It smells very pleasant, delicious, and I feel comfortable in this overall picture. That's how I would describe it.
It is well-suited as a gift for my friend as a reminder of our fun girl talk in a wonderful summer location.

Sticky-sweet fruity floral, which is almost original if you have a certain taste for trash.

Raspberry is like the unexpected facet of an unsympathetic person who then becomes a friend. Fruity end to my antipathy.

This life is intensely uninspired. The Floral-Fruity tank still has enough left. Whether it's more intense, I can't say.

A beautiful scent, sweet but not too much, you can smell a delicious raspberry & the base is wonderfully warm and vanilla-like. The best LVEB

A very fine rose-raspberry scent with a hidden marshmallow note that slowly melts on the skin - DELICIOUS! ;)

I don't like the original LVEB, it's too sweet and gives me headaches... This one is different: berry-delicious and pleasant, just my scent!

Mildly sweet - without being sticky. Delicate floral notes with a hint of smokiness. Lasts all day.
