La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude

“Bourbon vanilla and white musk — LVEB stripped to skin, soft and shapeless.”

La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude
vanilla
powdery
musky

A 2025 vanilla-focused flanker to Lancôme's 2012 La Vie Est Belle, composed by Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion. Solar notes and jasmine open onto bourbon vanilla, over white musk and sandalwood. Vanilla leads the accords by a wide margin, with a powdery, musky softness. Wears strongest in fall and winter with spring close behind, and firmly daytime.
