I'm in the department store in the perfume department. I'm walking down the aisle bored, trying to find nothing new... "Oh, too bad." I stop at Lancome and grab the bottle from the display area. I think it's really pretty. These protruding honeycombs and the great colouring glitter with my eyes.
I spray on a strip of paper...

Wow.
No reference to La Vie Est Belle... which I don't like at all. It's too sweet and overflowing with flowers.

I perceive a resemblance to Guerlain Teazzurra. A fine tea note. Sweet, yet delicate and controlled. Nothing to slay. Neroli and orange blossom are asking me to my knees... fantastic! Smells like what it looks like: an orange day... sweet, but not La-Vie-Est-Belle-sweet.
Fruity notes that are delicately sweet and smooth. Nothing exaggerated.
Then comes that kick, that certain something. - Every good story takes a 180 degree turn just before the end and surprises the reader with something unpredictable. - So does the Eclat toilet. It's a bit hypothermic in the truest sense of the word, I smell menthol or mint. I inevitably think of Mugler's aura. But I also associate alien here: The scent has a certain something. Ups and downs. But not in the sense of good and bad. No, it has depth, a mysterious scent that's tart and dark. The longer the perfume lingers on skin or clothes, the more the scent comes out. One scents one's surroundings quite well... which is what I wish for when I put on perfume. It lasts now three days on my jacket and has developed a little. Smells heavier and fascinates my nose. I find him very successful!

Well, I'm surprised... After several versions of La Vie Est Belle, a fragrance is released that stands out from the others and I like it. - one should never stop testing and stamping adaptations directly. Sometimes you find something wonderful
It's a pity that it hardly attracts attention in the perfumeries because of its continued name. I almost thought it was a classic, too. Watch out: the eau de parfum bottle looks the same, but contains a rosier liquid. I prefer the eau de toilette. Finer, brighter, more beautiful. Matter of taste.

The content would have more chances with its own name and flacon. And for me it is also not a variation of the first one, but independent and definitely different.
Thanks Lancome for "sweet and sexy" to spray on! Beautiful perfume!

.... the longer I think about it: "Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Essence" as a light version. Brilliantly good!
