Questions and answers
- Which is better for a blind buy?
- The original La Vie Est Belle. It is the well-known pear and praline scent, costs less at $67.58, and is easy to sample at counters before you commit.
- Is L'Elixir worth the extra money?
- Only if you want the raspberry, liquor and cocoa profile. At $99.28 versus $67.58, you pay about $32 more for a darker flanker, not better performance.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both are Eau de Parfum, so expect similar wear of roughly six to eight hours. L'Elixir's cocoa and leather base may linger closer to the skin longer.
- Which is better for summer?
- Neither is a light summer scent. The original's sweet praline and L'Elixir's cocoa both suit fall, winter and evenings better.
- Are these the same fragrance?
- No. They share the La Vie Est Belle name but differ in notes: the original is pear, black currant and praline; L'Elixir adds raspberry, liquor and cocoa.
- Which is better for a gift?
- The original, unless you know she likes darker gourmands. It is the recognized bottle, cheaper, and stocked at more stores.
