La Vie Est Belle L' Eclat EDT For Women Review - The Sparkling Morning Breeze of Life
La Vie Est Belle is one of the most popular scents from Givenchy's Les Exclusifs collection. While some like to describe the scent as a floral, others find it to be more citrusy than floral. Whatever the case may be; it is an exquisite perfume that is both sexy and sophisticated—and extremely long lasting. The fragrance comes in a beautiful frosted glass bottle that features a unique design that is reminiscent of a diamond necklace.
What Does La Vie Est Belle L' Eclat EDT For Women
It is a feminine fragrance with sparkling citrus top like Mandarin Orange, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Tea and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Neroli, Jasmine and iris; base notes are Musk, Ambroxan, Patchouli, and Tahitian Vanilla.
This is definitely a complex fragrance that takes time to develop upon application. When initially applied it feels almost wet or slimy but after about 20 minutes it begins to smell wonderful. The longevity of this perfume is absolutely amazing. Many people have told me that they can still smell this fragrance two days later (on skin).
Some even say that it lasts longer than this. One thing to note though is that if you are going to be wearing this perfume for long periods of time you might want to reapply every couple of hours because it tends to fade away quite quickly if you don't. Another benefit of this perfume is the fact that it is not overly sweet—which is something many people dislike about most perfumes these days.
Projection
La Vie Est Belle has medium projection with a range of up to 4-5 feet. However, once you've started getting used to the initial wet feeling of the perfume it actually has pretty good projection overall.
Also, like all Givenchy fragrances the sillage isn't too bad either; which means that this perfume won't linger on clothes for long periods of time if you happen to be standing near someone who is wearing it as well.
That said, if you're planning on wearing this fragrance for a night out it would probably be better to apply it before you leave rather than waiting until you arrive at the venue because it may start fading by the time you reach your destination.
When To Wear La Vie Est Belle L' Eclat EDT For Women
As previously mentioned, La Vie Est Belle is perfect for evening wear—especially for date nights or special occasions like weddings or anniversaries. Since it is fairly long lasting you could easily wear it throughout the day without worrying about having to reapply multiple times.
In addition, since the fragrance has a nice subtle sweetness to it; it doesn't clash with food or drink and therefore is perfect for dining out, or simply relaxing in your own home with friends or family over dinner.
