What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Lumia?
This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
It's doing something interesting with ylang-ylang, letting it stay creamy, almost candied, instead of scrubbing it into submission. Some people want their florals scrubbed clean. This one isn't that.Lumia
