It smells like lipstick to me; I don’t like it at all. I’ll stick with the classic.
I tried it today and it’s a pretty, youthful perfume—sweet but kinder than the original. On my skin, it’s creamy, warm, and has a strong trail, though a bit childish. Without that brutal patchouli, it feels less predictable. The ylang-ylang, hazelnut, and bergamot hold up the floral and fruity base well, making it fresher and cheerier. It seems more harmonious than its predecessor. Good longevity and excellent trail. It’s commercial, but highly recommended.
Smells like excessive candy. I exfoliated to get rid of it and have had a migraine for two days. How disgusting, I hate it.
Very heavy, though promising at first, then it overwhelms once it dries, at least for me, and I don’t know what ingredient makes it like that.
A new arrival in my collection… It’s creamy, enveloping, and without the sharpness of the original. It has extraordinary longevity and a very noticeable sillage. It’s a fine gourmand but one that makes an impression.
After several days of use, I’ve gotten used to it. Personally, I think it’s an improved version compared to the original, which in my opinion lacked the harmony I find here. It’s a sweet scent, but perfectly accompanied by many floral notes and a hint of nuttiness. It feels like a delicious whipped cream, with a plus of iris and hazelnut. I think I like it more for cold weather or evening. It’s truly a fantastic scent, with great projection and extremely long-lasting.
It’s an improved formula of the original. The Intense version is definitely worth buying; it lasts a long time and is very sweet and seductive.
It’s very heavy at first, though it promises well, but then once it dries down, it overwhelms, at least me. I don’t know what ingredient gives it that touch.
Wow, now I think I need it too :). There are so many flankers that confuse you, but knowing my affinity for the tastes of my expert perfumers (Lito), I’m sure it has something special… I’m buying it right now.
As my expert perfumer (jjjj Lito) said: it’s a fragrance improved to the max! Wow, it’s much creamier than the original, which was so sharp. It’s round and has impressive longevity. A true delicacy.
La Vie Est Belle has a short but interesting history: supposedly they tested thousands of formulas before finding the final one (presented by Dominique Ropion). Despite boasting about ‘personal demand,’ Lancôme designed a product with broad social appeal, reaching out to youth, adults, workers, students, Latinos, and Europeans, from philosophers to cheap revolutionaries. Focusing on the product is the way to introduce this Parfum Intense, a reflection of the complex hedonists of our globalized society: everyone wants more of everything and never enough; La Vie Est Belle satisfies that, offering more scent, trail, and longevity, even if it means users lose their olfactory identity, as it hardly smells different on different skin. It’s a fragrance that smells partially the same on everyone. A Parfum Intense is a crazy idea; the original already flooded the streets with its trail, so developing something even more potent seems redundant. If you’re focusing on the scent, it’s the same La Vie Est Belle, just more powerful, round, fluid, and less ‘stabbing.’ By comparison: the traditional one was like cutting your veins with a crystallized sugar knife, while the Parfum Intense is like injecting liquid sugar directly into your blood (poisonous sugar). You die faster, but it hurts less. It’s worth noting a certain makeup vibe from the iris note, similar to a scented lipstick. The perfumers’ personal brands are noticeable: Dominique Ropion brought the commercial phenomenon to life, while Anne Flipo seems to have followed the same pattern to create the infamous Sweet for Lolita Lempicka, tangentially derived from the legendary Angel by Thierry Mugler. If you’re sitting there waiting for death with the scent of cavities and floral transparency, the Parfum Intense exists for a reason. Don’t misunderstand me; I liked the original to some extent (though the Eau de Toilette versions are more appropriate), but this intense version can be overwhelming even for the sweetest tooth. I conclude by saying it’s a very bad alternative if you want to start a diet, as the scent will open your appetite for sweets (and you’d have to be heartless to wear it in summer).
I love this version of La Vie Est Belle. It’s sweet and potent with an enormous sillage. The best part is that, luckily for my nose, it lacks that patchuly note that doesn’t suit me in the original. The Intense is almost impossible to find in Argentina anymore; I was lucky to grab a small bottle before it sold out. It also smells very similar to Loewe’s Aura Floral—they’re nearly identical, both delicious. The only difference is the leather touch in the AF.
La Vie Est Belle has a short but interesting history: supposedly they tested thousands of formulas before arriving at this one (created by Dominique Ropion).

Conclusion: it’s a very bad alternative if you want to start a diet, because the scent will whet your appetite for sweets (and you’d have to be heartless to wear it in summer).
I don’t usually fall for generic scents, but this fragrance changed my mind. I truly adore it.
This perfume is a delight… It feels richer than the original Vie Est Belle EDP. It’s less cloying and less sweet than the EDP. You can really tell on the skin. Everyone who smells it loves it. I recommend it without hesitation, try it!
I love it; I bought it recently in a small size and didn’t think I’d fall for it. It’s delicious, intense without being overwhelming, and sweet without being cloying, and it lasts a long time on the skin.
Its base is the same as the original but with a more interesting, mature touch. I love it! The original is a beloved classic, but this version comes to make a difference, like a little gift from Lancôme for those who fell in love with it from the start. Highly recommended, with magnificent longevity and fixation as usual. The day I wore it, the phrase of the day was ‘you smell so good’.
I just bought it; I managed to find it at a perfumery because it’s almost unavailable in Argentina anymore. I love a classy, sweet perfume—it’s exquisite and very long-lasting.
La Vie Est Belle Intense starts with a creamy hazelnut and cream scent that wins over any sweet tooth, followed by a potent caramelized iris. But after a while, it blooms too much on my skin and becomes sharp again. What a pity, because I love its creamy opening. That said, the longevity and sillage are rarely seen these days. UPDATE: Over time, the creaminess becomes more permanent. I like the performance and see it as more elegant and less cliché than the original.
I loved it—I tested it at a duty-free store and it lasted two days of travel. Now that I own it, a single drop on my ears and wrists is enough for everyday office wear, leaving a sweet, rich trail. Even with so little, I can smell it when walking down the street; it follows me like a caress. It’s the intense version, so you don’t need more than one spray—it’s mind-blowing! I highly recommend it; I just turned 30, and it fits me perfectly, even lingering after a shower.
I loved it. I tried it at a duty-free shop and it lasted my two-day trip. I have it now, and you only need a drop behind the ears and on the wrists—enough for everyday office wear and to leave a sweet, rich trail. Even with just a little, I can smell myself when I walk down the street; its scent accompanies me like a caress. It’s mind-blowing that so little does that. It’s the intense version; you don’t need to apply much, seriously, no more than one pump. It’s super good, I recommend it a thousand times. I just turned 30 and it suits me well. Even its scent lingers after a shower.
I love intense perfumes, and this is one of the few that truly stands out. It’s my favorite from the line; I’ve tried it a few times and I’m obsessed. It smells like the Eau de Parfum but darker and more powerful. Verdict: GREAT PERFUME. Longevity and sillage: 10. It deserves the name ‘Intense’.
This perfume stole my jacket. It’s intense to an unbelievable degree and has monstrous longevity. It’s creamy and very sweet. For fragrances this potent, you need to be in a good mood, but it’s a proper scent bomb.
This perfume stole my jacket. It’s incredibly intense and lasts forever. It’s creamy and super sweet. Fragrances like this require a good sense of humor, but it’s a total masterpiece.
Very pleasant despite being intense and long-lasting; it has no notes that turn anyone off. It’s sweet and harmonious, but the downside is it smells the same all the time, with no shifts or new facets. Excellent longevity, perfect for going out to dinner or coffee—it’s very ‘ladylike,’ not for bars.
I absolutely adore it! If the classic lasts all day, this is a beast for 24 hours. I use it every day, and I’m still smelling it the next morning.
I started loving it, but over time the perfume started giving me a bad vibe—it smells rancid. I admit it’s elegant and refined, but on some people, it just doesn’t work and the scent is off-putting to me.
Exquisite gourmand, rich and sexy… a tribute to what a top-tier gourmand perfume should smell like. The iris is exquisite and creamy, the praline is delicious… one of the sexiest and most candid feminine scents on the market, bringing to mind a romantic girl.
I’m a fan of gourmand perfumes, especially those with a powdery or vanilla note that doesn’t get too cloying. I thought I’d love it, but honestly, I don’t. It’s very intense, and the sillage reminds me of mature women—like the perfume my grandma used. Honestly, it’s not a hit. It smells good, but it’s too sweet. Not for my collection.
Just got it and I already own the classic. The Intense feels very similar to the classic version, just softer. They have the same potency and longevity, but the classic is sweeter and sharper; the Intense feels smoother, with the same strength but less sweetness.
It’s a tribute for gourmand lovers. It’s SWEET, so to speak, absolutely outstanding. Unlike many sweet perfumes, this one is very elegant and of good quality. It doesn’t repel with synthetic scents. It’s a bombshell but of high quality. The opening is very similar to the traditional La Vie Est Belle; as it dries down, there are slight differences like notes of cream and hazelnuts, but it’s not such an abrupt twist. Its projection is excellent, and so is its longevity; I wouldn’t recommend more than two sprays in enclosed spaces. In summary, if you’re looking for a sweet and elegant perfume, this is an excellent option.
I fell in love with this fragrance last winter and finally bought it. It was in the Lancôme presentation for their new flanker, Intensément. Although I liked it too and it’s still on my list, I was eager to own the Intense first. What I least expected was being told at the perfumery that same day that the Intense was gone, with only Intensément left, and that the staff had taken the stock. Like a bloodhound, I tracked it down and, fortunately, made it to another store in time to add it to my collection. Aside from that anecdote, LVEB Intense is very sweet, keeping the LVEB DNA but without the patchouli slap (I love that note, though I know others don’t). The dry-down is creamy, like whipped cream replacing praline. It’s a beautiful perfume I wear on winter nights. Last night, I took it out for a special dinner (even if I didn’t leave the house, you know…). It has moderate projection and high longevity, about 8 hours. It’s flirty, informal, and very gourmand… I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Scent 8.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Trail 7/10, Value 6.5/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 7/10. Would I buy it again? Yes, though I think it will be difficult.
Last winter, after smelling it several times and falling in love, I finally decided to buy it. This was after Lancôme’s presentation of their new flanker, Intensément. While I also loved that one and it’s still on my wishlist, I was desperate to get Intense first. What I least expected was that when I arrived at the perfumerie, they told me Intense had been discontinued that very day in favor of Intensément and the staff had already taken the old stock away. Like a bloodhound, I went searching for its trail and luckily arrived at another store just in time before it was gone, so I could finally add it to my collection… Setting the anecdotes aside, LVEB Intense is very sweet. It has the DNA of La Vie Est Belle but without the patchouli smack (note: I’m a huge fan of that note, but I think this will appeal to those who aren’t). The dry down features whipped cream, which replaces the praline, making the perfume incredibly creamy. I think it’s gorgeous and I mainly wear it on winter nights. Last night, I finally took it out of the closet to wear it again for a special dinner (unfortunately, without going out of the house, you know…). It has moderate projection and high longevity, though maybe not as much as I’d like, lasting around 8 hours. LVEB Intense is flirtatious, informal, and very gourmand… I’ll enjoy it while it lasts… Scent 8.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Sillage 7/10, Value for Money 6.5/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 7/10. Would I buy it again? Yes, although I think it will be difficult…
I bought it and now I regret it. It smells too heavy. It’s that typical perfume you can’t stop smelling and it gives you a headache. Great longevity, but it’s not my style.
When I wear it, I feel like eating. It’s a delight of whipped cream, powder, and a crunchy touch that makes it irresistible. I bought it knowing it’s discontinued and it would likely be my first and last bottle. Still, the risk was worth it because I’ll enjoy it immensely for as long as it stays in my vanity. Personally, I recommend this version over the older brother LVEB EdP, since the patchouli touch is nonexistent and it doubles the gourmand dose that drives many crazy.

Hi! I tried the classic and the Intense yesterday. I’m definitely sticking with the Intense, what a delight! Thank goodness I didn’t blindly buy the classic. Since I couldn’t try it, I grabbed an equivalent that is delicious but totally different from what I felt yesterday, so regarding the classic, I’m sticking with the equivalent. Hoping to get the Intense soon.
Got this in a swap; it’s very similar to the original but without the patchouli and praline—they swapped it for whipped cream and hazelnut. Not as potent as the classic, more creamy and perhaps less sharp, but it lasts just as well. Maybe slightly less sillage, but still a good fragrance. It’s one of those perfumes they no longer make commercially. It’s a shame it’s discontinued.
Smells like a blend of classic La Vie Est Belle and V&R Bonbon, then evolves into Nutella for me when dry down hits. I’m obsessed.
