What are the Best Lancôme Perfumes?
Armand Petitjean who was a former employer of Coty, created the House of Lancome.
Lancome is a french cosmetic company now but it was raised as a perfume company. Its name was inspired by the castle Le Château de Lancôme and the symbol of rose that it uses is because the castle was surrounded by roses.
If you are looking for a high quality designer perfume, you have made an excellent decision by choosing the brand, Lancome. Their colognes have a sky-high quality, which makes you feel elite and confident.
So, here are the best Lancome perfumes for women:
Lancome La Vie Est Belle
Middle notes are iris, Jasmine and Orange Blossom;
Base notes are Praline, Vanilla, Patchouli and Tonka Bean.
If you are looking for a classic masterpiece, you can not find a better perfume than La Vie Est Belle by Lancome.
When I first spray La Vie Est Belle on my skin, I receive a powdery texture with a little bit of black currant which makes the scent slightly fruity. But it does not stay for long.
After an hour the perfume settles down with soft vanilla wrapped up with iris. The other white florals are in the background as well. This makes the scent a very delicate floral touch.
When the florals are done with their job, tonka bean and praline pop up to spread its gourmand side.
It is such an elegant and sophisticated scent that people would come to you to have a conversation with you very gracefully. It is a grown woman’s perfume in a flirty way.
The longevity of this perfume will blow your mind. It stays 24 hours and more. On my skin, it stayed almost for 2 days when I tested it and the performance absolutely amazed me.
The sillage of La Vie Est Belle is also incredible. People would notice you when you enter a room.

When I first spray it, I receive well built patchouli with a little bit of pear.
It is strong but yet it does not feel forced or overpowered. The scent has a smokiness from the incense.
After a while, you will be smelling the black rose which does not stay for very long as the fragrance mostly focuses on the patchouli.
In the dry down, praline and licorice are added with patchouli. It is a very powerful perfume. I remember wearing La Nuit Tresor at a party and people could not stop asking about the scent that I am wearing. The sillage of this fragrance is excellent.

Now, I am going to give a review in Tresor.
If you are wearing Tresor, people will automatically assume that you are bold and diva because it has that power and intensity. Although this fragrance is not for everyone as it is heavy and mature.
It smells alike to Chanel No. 5.
With the first spray all I can smell is orange with a little bit of peach. This makes the fragrance citrusy. A powdery aspect comes from the dreamy heliotrope. It makes the perfume floral. Another note that you will be able to detect easily is amber.
An old school iris is also present in this beautiful fragrance. This scent is super classy and elegant. It can effortlessly give you a longevity to 8 to 10 hours.
