Iris pallida and sambac jasmine, worn before you decide
La Vie est Belle by Lancôme is an Eau de Parfum, and this page is about trying it in a small size. Iris pallida, sambac jasmine, orange blossom, patchouli and gourmand vanilla accord: those are the notes the house records for it. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one.

The composition
These notes are recorded without a pyramid.
On the skin
The notes on record for La Vie est Belle are Iris pallida, sambac jasmine, orange blossom, patchouli and gourmand vanilla accord. They are listed without tiers, and we keep them that way instead of guessing a pyramid. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
La Vie est Belle carries the family labels floral, citrus and gourmand. Labels like these help you sort a long list, and wearing it does the actual judging. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For La Vie est Belle that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
With no season on file for Lancôme La Vie est Belle, the fair test is simply several different days. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
According to the house, La Vie est Belle is for women. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. FragranceGems fills it from the original bottle and labels it; it is not an official brand sample, and Lancôme has no part in it. 50 ml is the size of the full bottle; the sample is the small step before it.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Lancôme La Vie est Belle and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
The house lists it for women. In practice a perfume suits whoever enjoys wearing it, and a sample is the simplest way to find out whether that is you.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of La Vie est Belle; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
49 perfumes by Lancôme: that is our current list of samples from this house. You choose 2, 5 or 10 ml; we fill the glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it ourselves. In our shop Lancôme sits with the designer perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
