Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude – Creamy Elegance (2025)

Overall impression

La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude is the next chapter in the history of Lancôme's iconic line. This time, creators Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion have opted for an oriental-floral interpretation with a distinct, creamy vanilla accent. The scent is luminous, feminine, and sensual, yet delicately enveloping—perfect for moments when we crave a sense of luxury in everyday life.

Openly

The very first moments are a combination of solar notes (a warm, sunny accord reminiscent of sun-kissed skin) and jasmine – floral, luminous, and elegant. This opening immediately introduces an aura of feminine lightness and joyful radiance.

Heart

At the center is bourbon vanilla – creamy, rich, and sensual. It's a note that defines the entire character of the composition: sweet yet refined, enveloping like silk.

Base

The finish is based on white musk and sandalwood . The musk brings purity and subtle intimacy, while the sandalwood adds warmth and velvety depth. This base gives the fragrance longevity and an elegant finish.
