It’s more of the same. I think the scent has gotten boring, and it’s already getting tiring to go smell the different La Vie est Belle fragrances only to find they’re all the same.
October 2017, another LVEB flanker. Just one more among the many already on the market. This new version feels more airy compared to the original, not precisely fresh. It’s as if the notes of the first LVEB had the notes listed in the L’Eclat profile added to them. Basically, it’s the same, except the white flowers give it a slightly fresher look and curb the density somewhat. It doesn’t emphasize the caramel or patchouli as much. I felt the iris note was much more prominent, with violet nuances that brought a vague memory of Guerlain’s Insolence. The sandalwood note is present, adding a touch of wood and warmth, but for some reason, I tend to perceive that in sweet florals it makes it smell synthetic. Maybe it’s just my perception. It’s very intense and long-lasting like the original, perhaps a bit less sweet but equally potent, so use caution when applying. It feels very aromatic, so much so that when I stored the sample in my bag, it soaked the whole thing for several days. It’s a pleasant option, more versatile and even elegant than the classic LVEB. One more thing: if you don’t want to spend the money (it’s expensive), you can try the Antonio Banderas Secret Temptation, as both smell similar to me. Cheers.
It’s the first LVEB flanker I’ve tried, and while it didn’t fascinate me, it’s lovely. For some reason, it reminds me a lot of the orange blossom body lotion Maja released. I owned the soap and body mist, and I almost swear they smell identical, with longevity that barely keeps up. Maybe that’s why I wouldn’t buy it or feel inspired to rate it. Yes, it’s a quite pleasant scent, and on my skin, it’s pure orange blossom, musk, and white flowers. Not a trace of vanilla or lemon. It’s not invasive but it’s strong. The longevity is excellent.
This fragrance was a gift I received recently, and pfff… with all due respect… no. It’s true that it improves as it dries down, but I don’t like the opening; it smells stale and it really gets on my nerves. First, because it’s a gift, and second, because LVEB is one of my favorites, but L’Eclat just isn’t for me. It’s too classic, which isn’t bad; in fact, I own Tresor, the original, which is a fantastic classic that I love. However, with L’Eclat, the orange blossom note I perceive most doesn’t shine on my skin; on the contrary, I think it ruins a white floral perfume that could have been quite nice. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it; I see very limited use for it, maybe I’ll give it to my mother who has a different taste.
I like it and recommend it! Strong at first, but it mellows over time and leaves a sweet, fresh trail. You leave a pleasant scent in your wake. Definitely doesn’t resemble the Maja Myrrugia one mentioned below ¬-¬
I’m going to be the only one to say this, but I like it more than La Vie est Belle itself. It’s not a bad perfume, but for my taste, it’s too serious and sober. This one has a more fun and fresh touch since it lacks that heavy praline and highlights its floral charge, though it remains very vanilla-forward. It’s not something I’d buy, but I recognize that the LVEB line offers good quality for the price and lasts a long time on the skin (though La Vie est Belle has greater longevity than L’Eclat). I think they nailed it by creating a version with a more youthful spirit.
It reminds me a lot of Alien; I thought I was the only one who felt that way… It’s a perfume that isn’t cloying; I perceive it as gourmand and fresh. It adapts to any occasion compared to the original fragrance.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH! This flanker of La Vie est Belle surpasses the original by far; it has the spark and freshness that were missing from the cloying and tiring LVEB. I’m addicted to neroli and I think any perfume with this note is a winner; L’Eclat has a gorgeous neroli that harmonizes everything with grace and joy worth mentioning. It’s sweet, floral, and citrusy; there are plenty of perfumes in this style, so let’s not argue about lack of originality, but boring? NO… it’s cheerful, lively, luminous, versatile, and elegant. The trail and longevity are great, unlike most that say bye-bye in three hours. I think it deserves a review and to be forgotten as a version of the controversial LVEB.
My god, what a difference from the first version, which was so shocking and annoying. This one has character, charm, and spark; it’s absolutely lovely. It’s not a surprise in the infinite world of perfumery, but I’d definitely wear it. It’s a powdery citrus with sweet notes, nothing harsh, with great longevity and a beautiful dry-down. In short, if I want it, I like it.
I told my sister it’s a beast, my god, it’s incredible. Its beauty and scent are so pleasant that it’s the richest thing a groom could wear on his wedding day. The dry-down is gorgeous and I’m totally head over heels.
This one and the LVEB L’ eclat EDT are the best in this family. Although I don’t have the original except for a 10ml bottle, I bought this because when I smelled it I knew it was by Dominique Ropion; it reminds me a lot of his Alien. The openings are similar; you could even confuse them at first. What changes is the dry down: while Alien is linear with its jasmine and bergamot, here in LVEB L ECLAT EDP that acidic opening gives way to soft vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, and iris that accompany until the end. It should have been a different perfume and not a flanker. It has nothing of the heavy gourmand of the original. We see how Ropion’s and Flipo’s noses elevate Alien to a new fragrance for Lancome; perhaps it should have stayed as an Alien flanker.
I really love it! Although it keeps the DNA of La Vie est Belle, l’eclat is lighter, sparkling, cheerful, elegant, feminine, and sweet, but with a less dense sweetness, jovial, ideal for an entrepreneurial and charismatic woman of any age. In my opinion, it’s an all-terrain perfume: I use it in all four seasons, from afternoon to night, for formal and semi-formal events. It has good sillage, although it doesn’t have the longevity of the original, which lasts until the next day on me. L’eclat has excellent longevity, about 8 hours on hair and clothes.
The best version of all the LVEB flankers!!!!!!
It’s a YES, a thousand times! Sparkling, cheerful, and versatile. On my skin it starts citrusy, after 5 minutes the orange blossom comes out, and in the end it leaves a lovely sweetness that reminds me of its older sister, the LVEB EDP. It was a blind buy that I would repeat without hesitation. I recommend it for daytime use in any season. That versatility gives it a special touch the original doesn’t have. I encourage you to try it and fall in love.
I don’t like this version much; it’s a bit synthetic and although it’s lighter, I find it overwhelming and not elegant. Even considering the mass appeal of the original, I stick with the traditional LVEB.
I smelled it on a sample without many expectations because the original La Vie Est Belle, although it’s a great perfume, isn’t my style. Fortunately, I loved it; I usually don’t like powdery perfumes like the original, but this one seemed much more feminine and spectacular. I’d love to buy it someday.
I own the original Vie et Belle and love it. I tried the l’eclat sample, and the scent was very synthetic at first, reminding me of the perfumed plastic dolls from my childhood. I think the freesia with mandarin causes that sensation in the first few minutes. In the dry down it becomes sweeter and more pleasant, but knowing various perfumes, I don’t think it’s worth buying; the opening note is a no for me.
This release by Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion is an olfactory delight. It features a very creamy bouquet of white flowers where the orange blossom stands out, with its characteristic bitter touch that, combined with the mandarin, adds a citrus freshness all the way through, giving it a playful and coquettish character. Sandalwood and vanilla wrap everything in a very attractive warmth. LVEB L’eclat is a free-spirited girl, elegant, coquettish, and a little innocent, cheerful, and one who appreciates every moment as an irreplaceable jewel.
I gave it several chances before reviewing it, and I must say it disappointed me. The opening smelled bitter and a bit synthetic; it’s very potent at first, which wouldn’t bother me if it stayed that way, but sadly after 20 minutes the scent fades and I only smell it close to the skin, which is frustrating because I love its dry down. I wore it on hot days and it suffocated me, while on cold days it was completely absent. I bought it at Liverpool, so I know it’s not fake. I fell in love with the EDT version, but this EDP wasn’t the same. I’ll finish it, but I won’t buy it again 🙁
I love it! It’s a delicious, super feminine fragrance. What I notice most on my skin is vanilla with mandarin and a floral touch. I’ve never tried the original, but this version has won me over. The longevity is moderate; it lasts about 8 hours on my skin.
For me, it’s a light and fruity version of LVEB. It’s pleasant, and in the end, it leaves a powdery citrus scent on the skin. I don’t love it, but I do receive many compliments.
It’s a fragrance with a fruity (citrus) sweet opening, youthful, current, and charming; moderate to soft projection, nothing like the classic La Vie Est Belle, though it does last quite a while. Ideal for everyday wear, the office, or going out with friends and even romantic dates, meaning it’s extremely versatile, casual or semi-formal style. It’s quite pleasant. In my experience testing it with friends, it has its charm and sillage, though it’s not a powerhouse, it’s still noticeable. Positive points: it’s not suffocating, doesn’t smell mature, and works for any occasion. Negative points: it tends to be very expensive and not particularly novel as an aroma in this style. If you like fruity/citrus/lightly sweet/slightly floral fragrances, this is interesting, provided you find it at a good price.
I fell in love with the original LVEB at first sniff when it launched and ended up hating it with the same intensity, because at that time I didn’t have many perfumes and used it so frequently that by the time I had 25 ml left, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I bought this flanker because of a YouTube comment saying it might be more wearable for those who get tired of the original, and indeed, that’s true; it doesn’t kill my love for it, but I like the fresh touch the bergamot adds at the start. The purely caramel-like sweets don’t agree with me, so I wear this one gladly. It has moderate sillage and longevity and seems quite versatile; time will tell if I’ll repurchase.
In my humble opinion, this flanker is much better than La Vie Est Belle. The citrus notes balance it out much more and don’t leave the lethal cloyingness of the first one, haha.
I like this version more than the original LVEB; I find it fruitier, though still cloying with the vanilla, so maybe it’s not for everyone for that reason. I don’t know if it’s my pH or something else, but on my skin it lasts very little, about two hours, so I wouldn’t buy it again. I already have the original, which lasts much longer on me, around seven hours. Like the original, I think it’s ideal for fall and winter, day and night, because in heat it could become too dense, and for hot climates I’d opt for something fresher.
By far, the best version of La Vie Est Belle! BY FAR!
A beautiful fragrance.
I don’t like it. It smells like very sugared orange marmalade; I can’t believe it comes from a perfume with such a beloved name. Nothing to do with each other.
SWEET, POWDERY, PUNCHY ORANGE THAT’S OVERPOWERING. HI! 🙂 It came as a gift with LVEB Blanche and I can’t stand it. It’s basically lots of orange, very (VERY) synthetic, cloyingly sweet, powdery, with a poorly done white flower that makes me nauseous. It’s the flanker I dislike the most and fits the LVEB DNA the least; they should pull it urgently (in fact, everywhere they give it away for free if you buy large bottles of other Lancome perfumes, so they’re trying to get rid of it because nobody buys it, right? lol). It has good longevity and an invasive sillage. I give it a 2/10.
I tried this today because my partner smelled like fruits with vanilla and fresh touches; she showed me LVEB L’eclat and I fell in love. I prefer the fruity and vanilla side—it’s friendly and attractive, nothing like the heavy, powdery patchouli of the classic. It’s a younger, more versatile version, as @Fede Hart said. It catches my attention and feels familiar, like Scandal but without the honeyed part. I’d invest in this, just like I did with Sì Fiori, which is the sweet scent I love.
I completely agree with a previous review: the citrus opening gives it a brighter, more wearable touch than the original LVEB. Naturally, the DNA of the original is there, and with the orange blossom (my favorite) alongside an elegant vanilla, it becomes more versatile and beautiful. I absolutely hate the LVEB; its heavy patchouli made me skip that fragrance, but here I’m in. Someone mentioned a resemblance to Scandal but without the honey—I totally agree.
I just bought it this week; there are still units left in several physical stores in my city (and in various sizes), and they had testers, so it wasn’t a blind buy. It’s true it resembles the Classique Essence from JPG a bit, which I also own, but honestly, it didn’t bother me because it’s a fragrance profile I like to have. Plus, finding it in-store at a normal price meant there was no reason to pass it up. And the bottle is gorgeous; the crystal engraving won me over. I must say, I was never interested in LVEB, and in fact, I don’t own the original EDP, but I’ve jumped into some of its variants, as is the case here.
My experience with L’Éclat has gone from less to more. At first, the floral and rose scent overwhelmed me; now, I appreciate it immensely (if I don’t over-spray); I almost want to spend all day sniffing my skin—it’s divine. That said, it’s not for everyone: you have to try it before deciding!
The best version of LVEB, my favorite Lancôme perfume. I love it because it reminds me of my adolescence when I used a soft, creamy cherry-colored lipstick that smelled exactly like this masterpiece. I can’t believe they discontinued it…
Another flanker sweeter than the regular LVEB; the citrus gives it a sparklier, more intense touch without losing the powdery vibe, though I think it needs to be worn with less intensity than its predecessor. It’s not bad, but I feel it’s too sweet, like a candy palette. I’ll give it a few days to see if I keep it or not. Edit: I couldn’t handle it. It caused me terrible nausea and headaches after wearing it, so bad that I’ll even have to take a break from the regular LVEB. Whatever.
This perfume is a gem: mandarin with orange blossom and a base that’s the DNA of La Vie Est Belle. It’s more versatile, has great longevity, and I adore it for spring or summer, on days that aren’t too hot. It reminds me a bit of Classique Intense and Classique Essence.
I owned it three times, loved it, and thought it was better than the original version. It lingered on all my clothes, and people always complimented it. It’s a fresher, younger take. If you like sweet perfumes, you’ll love it.
Right now, having almost all the flankers, this is my favorite, in both EDP and EDT versions—simply the best. Longevity on clothes lasts until I wash them; on skin, about 7-8 hours before dropping to an intimate enjoyment that lingers close to the skin until you shower. Much more balanced than the original, perfect for summer. Truly exquisite, luckily still available.
Love at first sniff. It’s been a while since a fragrance made me feel this way. It has three very distinct phases, and I love all three: it starts with a sparkling, fresh mandarin, evolves into white flowers—especially bergamot—and in the dry down, sandalwood sweetened by creamy vanilla shines through. What a beauty, with excellent longevity. Although I’m not a huge fan of sweet perfumes, this one has a natural sweetness thanks to the vanilla. I also have the EDT version, which I like, but it doesn’t resemble it much; they share a vibe, but if I had to choose, I’d stick with the EDP. I know it’s discontinued; I found it by chance. How cruel it is to do this with perfumes. Suitable for all year and every occasion, very elegant and distinctive. 10/10.
At first, it overwhelmed me. Too floral, too much of everything, like a date that won’t let you speak. I put it up for sale, convinced it wasn’t for me. But now that it’s fading, I sneakily hunt for more: fresh by day, sensual by night, flirty even with jeans and sneakers. I don’t know if it changed, me, or if my fear of losing it made me realize it was perfect for almost any moment.
