Gourmand iris dream for cold days
"La Vie est Belle" - a modern classic scent. Whether you love or hate it, the success is outstanding. This fragrance has been at the top of the "charts" for years and is a real sales hit. I also own a large bottle of the original Flanker, but I don't use it too often. Why ? It is often a little too scratchy for me. Too loud and biting, a little too much sweetness and not enough depth. Too syrupy. I like the fine praline note of the base, which even slightly reminds me of popcorn. However, the overall composition sometimes seems a bit too restless. Nevertheless I like it very much when I spray it in the air and walk through the mist once. Then a sugar wadded cloud surrounds me the whole day long, which I find really beautiful. The concentration of the spray mist is the secret.
- The other fragrances of the "LVEB" series have therefore never really interested me. As I said, I like the original scent, but it is not one of my favoirites. Nevertheless, I tested "L'Absolu" in a perfumery a few years ago. In winter, December. A splash on the jacket sleeve. At that time, my sense of smell was already overwhelmed, so I hardly noticed anything and went home. I quickly forgot the smell, went to bed and fell asleep. The next day I would be greeted in the corridor by a wonderful scent. So sweet, soft and warm. I felt like I was in the middle of a Christmas market. The whole day long, the said scent kept coming up my nose and I kept wondering what was smelling so wonderfully here. At some point it "clicked" and I noticed that my jacket sleeve was the scent messenger. The next days I left the jacket hanging in the hallway, because the smell just wouldn't get weaker. For days I was allowed to listen to my family and guests, that it smells so nice in our dressing room. Only after 3/4 days the smell vanished. Immediately it was clear: I must have it - and so the "L "Absolu" version moved in with me shortly after Christmas.
For me "L'Absolu" is a perfect version of "La Vie est Belle", which has much more warmth and depth. The fragrance is much softer and rounder. I find the top note very interesting: powdery iris and dark ripe berries embedded in a sweet cotton candy cloud, with a slightly earthy patchouli. Perhaps it is precisely this note that triggers a "lipstick association" in me. Besides the really beautiful sweetness, I perceive a light lipstick note. I wouldn't describe it as extremely disturbing, but I am happy that this impression is only really present in the top note.
The heart is then dominated by the powdery iris in combination with the sweet and warm base. The details of the fragrance pyramid for this fragrance vary greatly depending on the website. Often "Praline" and "Tonka" are also given as the base. I also think that the base reminds of Tonka and chocolate. Also of roasted almonds. Christmas market in a flacon. Without any scratches, but with a lot of warmth. The Sillage is very strong. 1-2 sprays are completely sufficient to wrap yourself in a sweetish warm cloud. As with the original scent, I like it best to spray 2 sprays into the air and run through the fog once. This way the scent is shown to its best advantage and the projection is not disturbed. The durability is really outstanding. On the skin it only becomes skin-tight after 9-10 hours and only fades after 13/14 hours, on clothes it lasts for days.
All in all a really beautiful fragrance for cold winter days. I usually wear it at Christmas
