âThe ultimate summer fragrance. Itâs actually my favorite La Vie EST Belle. This perfume has excellent longevity and sillage while still being light and summery. I wore it to a pool party in the heat of the panhandle of FL and got SO many compliments. My mother went the next week and purchased this for herself. This perfume makes me happy. It is not linear...it has a nice depth to it. I will always want this gorgeous scent in my collection. Canât wait to wear it while on my summer vacay to Croatia.â
âThe perfect summer edition of LVEB, I already love the original so didnt know how it could get any better but with the addition of the coconut note this makes it 10/10 for me!As with the original the lasting power & projection is unreal, I cant wait to start wearing this more when it gets warmer. Heady vanilla, coconut & ylang ylang. Really like Lancome fragrancesThe bottle is so pretty as well!â
âPink pepper and very citrusy opening; sharp, bitter and quite synthetic. There's a pleasant mix of Ylang-Ylang and white sweet floral mid-notes, and it dries down to a creamy vanilla, coconut and patchouli scent.In overall very generic fragrance, not bad and not wow. I rated 'dislike' because of the rather synthetic opening - not to my liking. Plus points: surprisingly strong longevity and sillage for 'summery' fragrance and not sickly sweet or too heavy.â

Sillage
The clone generally has shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and slightly reduced sillage. The praline note tends to be more prominent and artificial-tasting in the clone, whereas the original balances it more delicately with the patchouli.

Sillage
The clone introduces a prominent rose note in the heart that distinguishes it from the original's iris-jasmine focus, creating a slightly different floral narrative. Performance metrics are nearly identical, though the added rose gives it a more romantic, less refined character than the sophisticated iris-forward original.
