What do reviewers say about La Vie Est Belle and Lily Essence?
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
A powdery white floral with genuine structure. The fruit opening is warm, the floral heart is lush, the drydown is comforting without being heavy. Some find the powder too much.Lily Essence
