“Bergamot, orange, and green stems over rose musk — LVEB's syrupy 2024 rose flanker, sweet feminine.”
A 2024 rose-focused flanker to Lancôme's 2012 La Vie Est Belle, composed by Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion. Bergamot opens onto damask rose and iris, over a clean musk. Rose leads the accords, with citrus, woody and musky facets, taking the line in a fresher, less gourmand direction. A spring daytime scent.
