How long does La Vie Est Belle last?

Most wearers get six to eight hours or more on skin, longer on clothing. The sweet base notes linger after the florals fade.

Is it better for day or evening?

It works for both, but the sweetness and strength suit evening and cool weather best. Use one or two sprays for daytime.

Iris Absolu pushes the powdery iris forward and tones down the praline. The original is sweeter and more gourmand.

Yes, this is the original eau de parfum in the line, not the Intensément, L'Absolu or Soleil Cristal flankers.

Sweet iris and patchouli over praline and vanilla, with a fruity opening. It is a warm gourmand floral, not a fresh citrus scent.

It is a safe gift for someone who likes sweet feminine florals, and the bottle displays well. Avoid it for shoppers who prefer fresh or woody scents.
