I got my sample of Empress in yesterday and holy snap. You weren’t playing around when you said it would be long lasting. That scene did not budge for HOURS! Great job!!!
I absolutely love this LVEB Iris Absolu! I love the entire range, have the whole collection except for LVEB Oui, I couldn't wear it, it smells like cat spray! But love the rest, long lasting, fresh perfumes ❤ thank you for your reviews, look forward to watching them. You're spot on with everything 👌
I’m currently wearing it from a sample, and I find it so incredibly beautiful. I get a lot of sweetness, actually, especially in the back of my nose as I begin to exhale. I think I actually prefer it to the original La Vie Est Belle, which I also really like.
Everytime I smell a perfume from La vie est belle range I think to myself what a gorgeous fragrance but something always stops me from purchasing a full size bottle. I am literally looking at my local retailer now because I have 15% off and wondering whether I need this perfume or not. Thank you for another amazing review! I think I might get this one after all. Have a beautiful day! xoxo
I really like the Iris note that is in La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal. That is what made me want to try the Iris Absolu. I really don't like the Original LVEB. I don't find it sweet. I find it a sour, bitter, chemical smell. It actually makes me think of a perfume that is turning rancid. The New LVEB Iris Absolu is completely different from the original. It smells warm, delicately sweet, clean, powdery and cosy. I smell way more vanilla in Iris Absolu than I ever did in the Original. I also bought Iris Absolu because I've been very ill lately. I couldn't have picked a more perfect perfume. Even though I can see myself wearing this perfume all year round. It really is one of those cosy, comforting perfumes that you can spray on yourself and then get in bed. For me, spray for bed perfumes are the ones I tend to love forever. Sadly they are also usually the ones that get discontinued. I am now on my last 30ml back up bottle of Alein Essence Absolue. They always discontinue the very best perfumes.
I freelance for Lancome, and I wish we could get this in the states. I was trained that ALL the LVEB fragrances have an iris note, and the Idole have a jasmine note. I wish that wasn't the case with LVEB, because although they are BEAUTIFUL fragrances, the iris goes completely baby powder on me.
It's interesting that you don't smell sweetness from La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu because to my nose, it's VERY sweet and VERY gourmand! To my nose, it's sweeter than any other flanker and sweeter than the original!
I wish Lancôme and other brands would stop being lazy and would release brand new bottles instead of all these exhausting redundant flankers! Anyways thanks for the detailed review as usual, Miss Soki!
My conspiracy)) is that Lancome planned it for autumn/winter but they did't want to be late for the Iris party as so many brands are releasing their iris perfumes now, so they had to release it now)) However, I tried it and I really loved it, before I only had the original LVEB, but I'll wait for the 30ml bottles.
As always Soki,spot on!your reviews are so helpful,all the things you say about the perfumes you review are real facts and they smell exactly like you describe them in real life! Thank you for your contribution to the perfume world.
I haven't tried this yet but I'm interested in it since it contains more iris and I love iris. I'm tired of sickly sweet perfumes (I used to love them) so I never bought the OG La vie est belle or the other flankers.
Lancome has reformulated it's original lancome la vie est belle Eau de Parfum. I ordered thinking its the original but got a reformulated one. Apparently they've added iris to that too.
It has always been an Iris perfume. Ever since it came out in 2012. I’m not saying it hasn’t been reformulated since it’s introduction, as that’s very likely in the fragrance industry… but it was always an Iris gourmand fragrance.
Hi Soki, I love my La Vie et Belle. Mine is very nice and has never been anything other than sophisticated and gorgeous. I will try this new one if I get to a department store. 🌺💕
I own LVEB edp & LVEB l’eclat edp. I think my taste has changed. I bought them a few years ago and now they are so syrupy sweet to me that I get migraines. I think I will try to sell the full bottles on Mercari. The same thing happened with my Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.
I love my Empress perfume and I am pre ordering the next fragrance! I don't hesitate to do a blind buy, as I loved Soki's description of the next fragrance and coconut is one of my favorite notes of all time. I end up liking many of the same fragrances as Soki, so I was confident in Empress and not disappointed in the least. It's exciting to see her growth. Don't sleep on Soki!!! Y'all....just realize how many videos she has here and also her blog/website. The knowledge and effort is extensive!! Her site is a go to for me when I'm looking for descriptions and thorough comparisons of fragrances and flankers.
I don't remember which version but this reminds me of Miss Dior perfume I'd been using in 2009/2010! End of high school/first year of collage nostalgia!
Love Iris so I’m interested in trying this for sure. I have the original and enjoy it a lot but don’t reach for it often because to me it smells like party perfume or a night out scent.
Sophie will you be/have you done a video on the new Givenchy Irresistible Velvet Rose? 🥰 I’m dying to buy it but need your opinion first!! Irresistible EDP is one of my favs so I’m very tempted 😅
🗣Our Minds Think Alike Here!! I Also Love/Use "La Vie Est Belle Intensément Edp" And Unfortunately Im NOT A Massive Fan Of The Original One!! Have You Not Tried Out The Soleil Cristal Edp? I Find It Absolutely Charming And Perfect For Warmer Weather/Going On Holiday Etc!! Xx
Hi Soki. Wouldn't be awesome if you upload some of yours trips videos? There is a brazilian perfumer youtuber who shows her shop malls Florida trips. But, I reckon that would be even more interesting if you show that exotic places I assumed you've been.
I appreciate your review. Apparently it’s Iris lol! I m not a fan of the original I blind bought. It’s pretty bottle looks beautiful shame it’s not for me.
My partner and I went perfume sniffing last weekend and when I showed him this one on the paper he said it smells like dirty vegetables :D And I can't disagree...the bottle is absolutely stunning though.
Hi soki can u please please a million pleases do a review of jean pau gaultier scandal gold.. u can buy it everywhere now… but no one has done a review… thanks ❤❤
Wait… did I miss something? Why are you confused that it’s Iris? ALL of the LVEB line are centered around Iris. The original as well as all the flankers. And ever since this was first teased a couple months ago, I’ve been stalking Sephora and ulta to see when it’s stocked and no luck yet. Is this not coming to USA?
You can get it from my merch shop :) Soki London Merchandise (Europe & Middle East): sokilondon.myspreadshop.co.uk Soki London Merchandise (Americas & Oceana): sokilondon.myspreadshop.com/
In the first 2 hours it is pure earthy iris, with gourmand notes from Nina Ricci Luna.. after 2 hours it is like Blanche + Absolu + Intensement.. I am not impressed because of this mixture..
Helo. I have this perfume, It’s so beautifull, better than oryginal for me. Could you compare it with giorgio Armani parfum? (Sorry for grammar, i’m from different country)😆
never see her spray the perfume, how come she knew the smell of the perfume she talking about, long time ago she just read the notes from internet and now she has perfume in her hand but never spray it, why?
La vie est belle oui is already discontinued? I recently discovered an travel size and i adore the scent, afte I bouth in february an 30 ml La vie est belle iris absolu... I liked it but i was "forced" to return it because gave me pain, my head was really hurt everytime i tested. On me was more sweet and heavy in the dry then the LVB Oui

The thing is that even in a new bottle the perfumes nowadays are all the same so it wouldn’t make a big difference 😢
I actually appreciate them keeping the LVEB shaped bottle so it’s more clear they’re flankers
Maybe that's their signature bottle. Like asking Mercedes-Benz to change its symbol.
@@lynceline9109 my thoughts exactly
Iris Absolut is the only La Vie est Belle I own. I adore it ! and men too ;)
I was sooo excited when I saw the promo photo as there was fig in the background. Was hoping fig will be prominent in this. Thank you for your review.
You and me both!

Hi Soki, I love my La Vie et Belle.
Mine is very nice and has never been anything other than sophisticated and gorgeous.
I will try this new one if I get to a department store. 🌺💕
Yes I tried it and it was love at first sniff because I live iris ♥ I bought 50ml bottle. They only do two sizes 50 and 100ml ☺
Thanks for sharing!!
Sophie you look GORGEOUS. The red lips and red nails are so pretty on you❤️🌹💃🥀
Thank you so much!!
I love it ,it’s like the intense version that was discontinued x
Me too!
Yes! My thoughts too and intense was my favourite. Full bottle coming my way 😊

I love iris with black currant. ❤
I just purchased a big bottle of the OG , thinking about returning it for the Iris Absolu.
Hi Soki now this I look forward to getting asap as a huge Iris note lover that I am x
I don't remember which version but this reminds me of Miss Dior perfume I'd been using in 2009/2010! End of high school/first year of collage nostalgia!
I have been waiting for this review Soki
👍
I tried this in boots… it vanished really quick on my clothes on my other arm i sprayed libre le parfum which lasted for hours… and smells amazing
Same thing i tried this one but it does not laste at all
Same perfumer on both. Ann Flipo.

Ty Soki, Iris is my favorite floral note in perfume. :)
Love the bottle 😍
I find this new flanker really heavy, and a bit old fashioned or notvery modern🤔 I dont get the concept. Though I love La Vie Est Belle
I agree
Agreed, I smelled it today, and even though it smells good it isn’t modern
Oh I can't wait to get this but I would buy it just for the bottle anyway!

Do you have the Richard orlinski version? If yes which La vie est Belle is the most similar? I die for that scent 😭
Which la vie ist most diffrent ?
Is it true that lveb en rose smell similar to miss dior absolutely blooming???
Yes I think so :)
