Tropical vacation
I get a bit of the OG la vie est belle right at the beginning, but it goes away to quickly.
It is really it’s own scent and I really like it.
On me it’s powdery iris, vanilla and coconut with a bit of a tropical touch in the background.
Perfect summer perfume, and I would love to bring it for a hot tropical vacation right now.

Lovely summer floral
I’m not generally a fan of the La Vie Est Belle line, but I picked this up as a (heavily researched!) blind buy after reading that this particular flanker isn’t super similar to the original.

I can confirm, it is indeed not very similar to the original LVEB. This is a summery orange-ish floral to my nose, I get mostly the ylang ylang with orange and a hint of coconut in the background. It has tropical vibes but is not aquatic or fresh. There is still some sweetness but it’s not overwhelming, in my opinion. It actually does last and project, which is not always the case with “summer”-coded fragrances!

And I really like the bottle, it’s super cute and the flat design means it will be easy to pack for summer adventures.

La vie est belle... if you let yourself drift...
With me is freshly moved in La vie est belle - Soleil cristal. One reads yes many negative voices, but I think that comes from disappointed expectations, but not from the actual fragrance. He is just no sparkling midsummer refreshment and also no sunscreen fragrance.

I like him very much. He gives me the following mood again: vacation in Italy. One has spent the day on the beach, rather sluggish, because it was so hot. Sun on the skin, only slightly cooled by wind, in between also bathed in the sea, grateful for the cooling and some movement. Tired, with still heated skin you have gone to the hotel, maybe rested a little on the cool white sheets, through the closed wooden shutters sounds penetrate into the room from again increasing activities towards the evening. You take a shower, let a hair treatment take effect, put on a nice cream, put on make-up, because you have an appointment for a meal in a noble garden restaurant with a view of the sea, a little off the beaten track. And now you're sitting in the garden, wearing a beautiful flowing summer dress and sandals, you're perfumed, you're wearing lipstick, and you're enjoying an aperitif, perhaps a cool Fragolino. It's still very warm, but there's a breeze coming up, and you're looking forward to a nice evening in cultivated company, with delicious food over several courses, chilled wine, with the view of the sunset, the countryside and other guests, who are all well-groomed and beautifully dressed, and behaving discreetly. Nothing is garish or loud, the sedate pace of the day continues and segues into the night.

All this stands out for me in the fragrance, a lot of warmth, but also a light sea breeze, a Mediterranean garden, warm earth and stones, scent of cosmetics and a light fruity wine. I can only really recognise iris and vanilla once the citrus-heavy top note dies down and fades into the white florals. Coconut and patchouli I perceive more as a consistency than as a smell, the coconut gives off a creaminess reminiscent of Raffaello, the patchouli creates a dark, slightly krispe base.

For me, this is definitely a scent of vacation, a carefree time where you gently drift, calm down, enjoy without chasing from one highlight to the next, but just let things happen. I actually like scents that make me longing, but this scent embodies for me the existence in the here and now - and that's exactly what I long for ;)

Sorry, that was nothing...
Would have liked you so much....
Based on the fragrance pyramid I imagined a great, delicious, fruity, creamy summer fragrance that would be exactly mine. Full of anticipation, I took the first spray from the beautiful shimmering bottle, which can only be good I thought... But then the pure disappointment! I smelled a scratchy, pungent, bitter / sweet note of citrus and a strange roasted (rather burnt coconut) not the delicious creamy coconut note I had expected :(( Because actually I love coconut but.... What is this!!! That can't be right or.... Maybe only at the beginning so, first wait and see I thought.... Again and again I smelled my wrist in the hope he would still develop into a nice pleasant summer / holiday feeling fragrance. Slowly the vanilla joined in which became more towards the end, but unfortunately this pungent, scratchy, acrid smell remained present until the end which really disgusted me and gave me a headache. So I had to come to the conclusion that this is unfortunately nothing with us and you will not move into my collection :(.....Pity. Thus, the search continues for the perfect summer scent!

Life is better at the beach
Finally tried the La Vie est Belle Soleil Cristal today. And it's really nice. A summery version of the original, less sweet, even slightly salty (I prefer it to J'adore in Joy, it goes slightly in the direction of Olympéa Intense but it's gentler) and very ylang ylang. The mandarin gives it a fresh touch and the vanilla is tropical and the whole impression is beachy but in an elegant way. I'd say I like this even more than LVEB la Vie en Rose, which has been my LVEB favorite so far. If you miss Womanity, you should try it at least once. Nice!!!

To me this just smells like LVEB with some ylang. I sadly get no coconut. It's not different enough to be interesting, but it is pleasant.

The smell of this reminds me of anise gone bad, somehow. It does last all day.
