LANCÔME La vie est belle Eau de Parfum for Women 2.5 oz

The 2012 eau de parfum

Lancome La Vie Est Belle on this page is the original eau de parfum, the 2012 formula, in the 2.5 oz size named in the product title. That fill matches the 75 ml bottle on the size list for this eau de parfum. It is not La Vie Est Belle L'Elixir, not Intensement, and not a later flanker that keeps the smile-shaped bottle and changes the recipe. The photograph shows the familiar curved flacon and the words La vie est belle. The same photo also prints Tester, Not for sale, and it does not print a milliliter mark, so the 2.5 oz figure comes from the product name and from the 75 ml eau de parfum size, not from ink on that picture.

Notes for this eau de parfum

The published pyramid for this eau de parfum, and the prose that matches it, names pear and blackcurrant at the start. Iris, orange blossom, and jasmine form the heart, with the iris specified as Pallida iris. The base is praline, vanilla, patchouli, and tonka bean. Perfumer credits on that page are Olivier Polge, Dominique Ropion, and Anne Flipo. Those materials belong to the original eau de parfum. Do not swap in the note list of L'Elixir or Intensement.

• Concentration: eau de parfum, the 2012 original.
• Size named here: 2.5 oz, the 75 ml fill of this eau de parfum.
• Opening: pear and blackcurrant.
• Heart and base: iris, orange blossom, jasmine, praline, vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean.

Spray it on pulse points and give the iris and praline a minute before deciding it needs more. The smile-shaped bottle is easy to over-spray because the opening is fruity. Store it capped, away from a sunny sill. Veloura offers this listing independently and is not Lancome.
