What People Say

Lancôme La Vie Est Belle

One longtime owner enjoys the original’s sweet iris-and-praline impression.

That owner finds the original less exciting after trying several flankers.

A different wearer dislikes the prominent patchouli-and-iris accord and finds it harsh and synthetic.

Rasasi Egra Pour Femme

Some wearers enjoy the white flowers and musk, describing a soft or delicate result on skin.

One wearer finds it far too sharp and forceful to enjoy.

The Verdict

Choose La Vie Est Belle for a sweet iris gourmand with vanilla and patchouli. Choose Egra Pour Femme for lily and jasmine with a musky sandalwood base. Egra’s plum-and-flower profile is a different direction from Lancôme’s spun-sugar sweetness.
