By the editors · 2 min readA fresh take on the La Vie Est Belle lineage, this 2024 flanker shifts focus decisively toward rose. Bergamot and orange open with clean solar brightness that sidesteps the original's heavier gourmand territory. At its core, Damask rose and iris intertwine — the rose faceted and slightly dewy, iris lending a cool powdery counterpoint that keeps the composition from veering sentimental.
Ambroxan in the base provides warm skin-close drydown, while moss and sandalwood supply just enough depth to anchor the floral heart without weighing it down. The result is a polished contemporary rose for legible daytime wear — luminous and approachable, best suited to those who want a modern floral without demanding complexity.
