What Wearers 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
La Vie Est Belle is our pick for its iris and sugar. Lancôme lists an iris accord, patchouli, vanilla and spun sugar: powdery, sweet and very noticeable. Egra Pour Femme is lighter and fruitier, with bergamot, lily and pepper, plum, orange and jasmine, over sandalwood and musk. Choose it if La Vie Est Belle is too sweet.
