Ripe raspberry and a splash of liquor open La Vie est Belle L'Elixir by Lancôme, brightened by bergamot. Violet leaf and rose take the centre, keeping it green and a touch fresh rather than purely sugary. Underneath, leather, cacao butter and cedarwood bring an unexpected edge, warm and slightly dry against all that fruit. Released in 2024 and worn by women, it fits someone who wants a sweet fragrance with real backbone. Voters lean toward autumn and winter, mostly evenings and nights, though it also holds up at work. Longevity votes lean long-lasting, and sillage votes lean moderate, keeping it present without taking over a room. A 3ml decant carries you through a run of autumn evenings before you decide on more.

A fruity, sweet rose with a leather edge, La Vie est Belle L'Elixir starts with raspberry and liquor before violet leaf, rose and cacao butter emerge. Staying power divides between moderate and long-lasting, while projection tends to be moderate. It fits winter nights and autumn evenings.

The house
More from Lancôme
Lancôme was founded in France in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, who named the house after Lancosme in the Indre valley. From the start the idea was beauty for women, and the perfumes still lean feminine, warm and a little romantic. Vanilla, jasmine, rose and iris run through the range, often with pear or black currant for fruit and a soft cushion of patchouli, sandalwood and musk. La Vie Est Belle is the natural opener, sweet and fruity with a vanilla finish. Miracle is brighter, floral with fresh spice and citrus. Trésor, from 1990, is fruity and powdery, a rounder, older style of floral. Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion are among the perfumers credited on the line. Try a 3ml of two before you pick a bottle.
