The first compliment
I NEVER get compliments on or requests for my fragrance. The last comment was about 15 years ago.
Until "Idôle | Lancôme" came along.
A very good friend who knows my passion says "you could seduce me quickly with this!" - but I wasn't going to with him... but the next day I did with someone else ;) and even then, in the midst of all the passion, I said "you smell soooo good!"
That's telling.
I don't feel like wearing it every day, but it can be used universally. But I'm generally more sweet/powdery.
But it's perfect for 300 days a year.

As this fragrance can be sampled almost anywhere, this time I decided to write a story instead of a helpful fragrance description.

Have fun with it ;-)

Super P/L
opens fresh, tangy (not citrusy!), pepper moderately perceptible
from the drydown it becomes warmer and softer and flatters.
I always liked the original, but this one is just as good.

From the drydown onwards, it also reminds me of "La Vie est Belle Rose Extraordinaire | Lancôme" - although the latter is a little more powdery and the musk is fresher.

Successful fragrance, simple bottle, good vapo.

Soft, warm, elegant rose
I have been eagerly awaiting this new flanker. I've owned it for a few days now and have tried it out extensively - and learned to love it!

First of all - I had spontaneously given it a 9 for the fragrance. I'm upping that to a 10. It will certainly be my most frequent fragrance in the coming months.

It's my favorite LVEB version!

It's between LVEB en rose and LVEB intensément, I would say.

Here is its progression:
It opens very fresh, slightly green, but above all modern-rosy. It lasts about 20 minutes on my skin.

After that, the typical LVEB DNA comes through, but less praline, for about 1 hour.

This is followed by a wonderful, soft, sweet and cloudy, slightly tart (raspberry?) musky fluff. This lasts up to 10 hours on me, but increasingly close to the body.

In general, it has moderate sillage. This lasts for about 2 hours, after which you have to get VERY close to really smell it. I find this totally pleasant, because I want to smell MYSELF, but not take in others. But you are allowed to smell me a little. :) Perfect for me!
What remains after 5 hours can be layered if you want something else for the evening - or topped up, because this fragrance always works!
Seasonally, it also always works, although I think I reach for "chubbier" fragrances in the fall.

It is more "binding" than the en rose, but less present and much more pleasing than the intensément.
The OG is much more praline and "special" than this one.

I would
a. preferably promote it everywhere so that it stays in the range for a long time, but
b. actually only have it for me!

I have a strong suspicion of Signature-Scent for me and look forward to opinions gathering here in the near future.

La vie est belle, douce, florale, joyeuse -et légèrement plaisante!

Have fun with it, my dears.

PS. I find the OG bottle ok, but boring. I like this one much more!

Delicate clouds for every day
Purchased in the red drugstore, on offer for 8.49. The orange M also carries it.
This fragrance is very delicate on me, as the bow on the bottle suggests. It opens on my skin with a fruity, fresh and sweet note (raspberry), which becomes more floral (freesia, peony) after about 10 minutes. It is very unobtrusive, but wonderfully round. It lasts longer on clothes, so I usually put a spritz on my scarf to keep it in my nose for longer.
Vanilla and caramel barely come through, but certainly provide the warmth that the fragrance brings despite its effervescence. The raspberry lasts for over 3 hours into the base.

I find it most suitable for a spring day when the first cherry blossoms are opening. But I will definitely wear it throughout the summer. In the fall it will definitely take a break, but now in winter I actually find it quite suitable.
A drugstore insider tip for me (I find most of them either boring or awful).
