What wearers say
“I had 'the real' on my arm, fresh from browsing testers at Kohls, only to come home and spray 'the dupe' as well. Both dupe and original are strong and long lasting, with good projection. :) The opening of Dossier's is quite a bit more orange blossom and less Lancome-ish. That's fine with me, as I prefer orange blossoms to Lancome! Seriously. That said, the heart notes are rather similar. Even the bits I don't care for in the original are here. So, if you do not care for La Vie Est Belle, I highly recommend avoiding Gourmand Orange Blossom as well! Impressive quality and good value.”
“Gourmand Orange Blossom & Pink Vanilla Wish by Bodycology smell just like La Vie Est Belle. If I smelled either on someone else I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I’m not such a huge fan of the original to spend a lot of money, so these two suit me fine. I can really smell the gourmand candy like orange blossom, nutty praline,smooth jasmine & sweet feminine patchouli….lasting power on me 4-6 hrs but longer on clothes.”
“yum!!!!!! this is quite sweet and feminine, maybe a little bit too much for me typically but i know ill get a lot of use out of this scent this summer. this is a perfect beach scent to me. smells like holding a creamsicle in one hand and a bouquet in the other. very girly and cute, and not crazy strong so it will be comfortable to wear in the heat.”
