La Vie est Belle L'Elixir Very Cherry by Lancôme is a dark, gourmand cherry made mostly for women, with perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion behind it. Black cherry, cherry liqueur and pink pepper open it ripe and a little sharp. In the heart you find damask rose, jasmine sambac and iris with violet leaf, a powdery floral frame for the fruit. The base is deep and rich with oud, vanilla, cocoa, patchouli and cedar. It suits anyone who wants cherry to carry real weight. Voters wear it in winter and autumn, in the evening and at night. Votes lean long-lasting on wear time and strong on sillage, so it hangs around well past the point you stop noticing it. A 3ml decant shows whether that dark warmth fits you.

The community verdict
A sweet cherry gourmand, La Vie est Belle L'Elixir Very Cherry starts with black cherry and cherry liqueur before violet leaf and iris give way to vanilla and cocoa. The largest group finds it long-lasting with strong projection, though moderate is the next view for both. It fits winter evenings, with autumn and night also working well.
