My grandmother had this back in ’99. I was five, and since the bottle smelled so strong on me, I took it to school. The teacher confiscated it until the end of the day and then handed it personally to my grandmother. I’d love to remember the scent in more detail, but as I said, I was only five.
Hi @mystique, I own both and used them yesterday. They’re similar due to their floral and fruity notes with a herbal touch (cilantro in one, basil in the other), but they’re not identical. This one smells fresher, more youthful, and summery, while Le monde est beau is more spring-floral, with a spicy hint and a romantic vibe.
Hi @mystique, I own both and wore them yesterday. While they’re similar due to their floral-fruit notes and that herbal touch (cilantro in one, basil in the other), they aren’t the same.

I was expecting it to be more citrusy and fresh based on the reviews, but I was disappointed. I don’t know if it changed over time, but to me, it just smells floral. It’s super sweet and a bit old-fashioned, like something for an older person. I bought it from the official store so I’m not sure if I’m crazy, but it lacks that citrus to resemble Eden, my favorite perfume.
Has anyone tried this perfume and Le monde est beau, since their bottles are identical? Do they smell similar?
I tried this back in the 90s, and it’s still Kenzo’s gem: delicate, elegant, and long-lasting without being overpowering. I absolutely loved it.
I had this in the 90s, and for me, it was Kenzo’s best fragrance: delicate, refined, and long-lasting without being overpowering. I loved it.
I bought it secondhand as a gift for my sister. It lasts days on her clothes with a delicate, fresh breeze floral scent. When she smells it in bursts during the day, she says it evokes an almost angelic aura… and then it takes her a second to remember it’s this perfume. A lovely olfactory experience.
I had a miniature of it back in the late 90s. I loved it!! Very delicate and exquisite. Today, in 2021, I tried an Elvive conditioner and, I swear, it has the exact same scent! I applied it and it immediately transported me back to a smell I loved and had completely forgotten.

I had this over 20 years ago and found a 15ml vial on Mercado Libre. I remembered it as citrusy and fresh, perfect for summer days, and I wasn’t wrong. The only thing is that now it doesn’t last long, or maybe that’s just me… I don’t know.
I had this a few years ago, but I don’t forget its delicate and fresh fragrance. It’s perfect for any day of the year but more enjoyable in spring and summer. I’d get it again without hesitation and would definitely gift it.
