How is it different from the original La Vie Est Belle?

It keeps the iris, patchouli and praline base but adds a dark cherry note, making it sweeter and heavier. The original is softer and more powdery.

Is it good for daytime wear?

It can work in cool weather, but the sweetness and projection make it better suited to evenings. In heat it can feel heavy.

As an eau de parfum it typically lasts most of a day on skin and longer on clothing. Expect a few sprays to carry into the evening.

Lancôme markets it to women, and the sweet cherry-praline profile leans feminine. Anyone who enjoys gourmand scents can wear it.

This is the 1.7 oz spray, a mid-size bottle that fits a handbag or a small collection.
