[@romarioseaton168]

This is an AMAZING SCENT!!! It is STROOOONG TOO AND LASTS AND LASTS AND PROJECTS! I get 12+ hours consistently when I wear it! I had to buy a full bottle immediately after having a sample

[@QManagerin]

As someone who can't stand the original "La Vie est Belle" I really love this one. I personally do smell the fruitiness in it, but I first mistook it for cherry. It smells somehow "sophisticated" to me. Elegant but different than most heavy wintery fragrances. It lasts well but isn't as "in your nose" as the Original one. People will notice but it's not a beast mode. The first "La Vie est Belle" I recommend.

[@KirbyHighClassof2015]

This is definitely an adult fragrance and it smells so deliciously deep and rich. The notes are amazing and I rarely go for fruity scents & aim towards floral/woodland/ocean type fragrances, but this berry is beyond great. I’ve had travel bottles of the pink one but this is the first one that I got in FULL SIZE. It’s definitely a feminine/women scent but if layered well it can pass off as unisex. LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE & your reaction ❤

[@melbert3795]

I hate the original but love the L'Extrait one. This sounds up my alley coz I do love violet.

[@oliviavillanueva3937]

I get viotel the most , I do love this perfume it’s in my wishlist ❤

[@Himmiefan]

I love the original La Vie Est Belle and this one is so pretty, but on my skin, it smells like violet scented Playdough.

[@kristenmckinney6706]

I just bought this perfume and I love it. Although I love sweet scents, this is really the only perfume in the line that I have liked

[@kelliemarie4815]

Soki you should collaborate with lancome, you definitely have good ideas that I think the company could use.

[@SokiLondon]

Maybe one day!

[@chelseyschlutereichen9009]

Iris Absolu is still on the US site and I haven't seen any other report of it being discontinued.

[@CS-bi3hh]

I am totally addicted to the l‘extrait version. Very excited how the new one will smell like.

[@strawberryfields81]

I prefer L‘ extrait much more

[@Tommelise]

I used to hate LVAB soo much but need to admit, the last three releases are bangers, this is on my wish list

[@marialaura9671]

I love all the LVEB range, especially Intensement and Iris Absolu 💜💜💜

[@mariacollettlife]

I need to go sniff this one ASAP. I really enjoy LVEB en Rose and agree that it's one of the nicer flankers.

[@crystalrainbow19]

LVEB soleil cristal has disappeared from New Zealand stores. I have a full bottle and 2 back ups. It's so gorgeous and summery and the bottle is to-die-for iridescent. The fragrance is a little like Flowerbomb Nectar if anyone is interested in what it smells like.

[@literallyheather]

Good review....I will be avoiding completely!😂😂

[@SokiLondon]

Fair enough!

[@mariah7505]

❤Wow, it looks delicious! Waiting for it to be released in Brazil.

[@prettythingseveryday5715]

Hello Soki 🌸 I have a 10ml travel spray and find the opening a super sugarred raspberry feast that gave me the same vibe of the discontinued Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming for about 10 minutes, then became a beautiful violet fragrance that had the same vibe as Celeste from Giardini di Toscana or Mallow from Sora Dora. They do not share the same notes, however the same vibe. Yes 👍🏻 it is a great quality fragrance with great longevity and projection. It is a solid release and my favorite flanker of La Vie Est Belle 😍🌺 Rose Estraordinaire is my second best 🌺

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

I like how you called it a feast, that's cute❤ and it sounds like a nice scent.

[@sayhello5377]

I smell the raspberry more than any other note.

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Just got this tonight. I really love it!❤

[@SokiLondon]

Enjoy it!

[@leannebuntain2614]

As far as I know Guerlain Insolence is still available and was reformulated in a new 'beehive bottle' along with many other Guerlain perfumes a few years ago. I have one of those bottles.

[@strawberryfields81]

The beehive bottle has been discontinued, they now have different bottles

[@leannebuntain2614]

What do the bottles look like. Do they still insolence?

[@roxannegabel3655]

I have owned quite a few LVEB flankers. My favouriyes are En Rose and L'Extrait. I decluttered the Iris Absolue, Rose Extroardinaire, Intensement and EDT.

[@warningshoes8986]

Insolence still exists both in edt and edp, the bottles have changed though...💜💜💜

[@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059]

It’s so sad when they discontinue great fragrances 😢. I just got this one and will review soon on my channel but I really liked it as a first impression 🥰

[@Sakuyamon]

I tried it in store today. First thing that hit me was the berry scent. I couldnt tell that it was raspberry exactly but it was very much a red berry. I liked it quite a bit, which is nice since I can have a bit of an issue with these perfumes.

[@heatherloveskingJc]

Its absolutely gorgeous..❤

[@natalinastella5144]

Hi Soki, I have tried the new one at my Ulta store. I can’t say that it’s going to become my favorite sadly. The bottle design is so gorgeous with that wine coloring and lovely black bow. But the notes must not be my favorite. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Possibly it’s leather that I dislike in it. It lacked the signature original Iris powdery notes. So the original is still my favorite. Possibly they can come up with a flanker next that I might like. It would have been wonderful for Fall and Winter season. Still a beautiful high quality perfume though for someone else.

[@ruthholloway1435]

I am wearing the original at this moment, I loved the intensement and Iris absolute, this new one sounds interesting, i will definitely try it ❤❤❤❤

[@angelahicklin4487]

Hi Soki, loved this video can’t wait to try this. I was wondering if you could do a video on fallfloral perfumes? Thanks and I hope you have a great week

[@angelahicklin4487]

Fall floral

[@stauroulapatsourou7278]

Hi Sophie! I really like your reviews! I will try to get my nose on this one!!! 💜

[@rose2fame1]

Hi, I’ve only bought the original La vie et Belle perfume and gifted it. They liked it. 🎁

[@EvelynMusicAlways]

I haven‘t tried this new LVEB release yet - but definitely will! I have had several flankers besides the OG in my collection: l‘Éclat EDP, EDP Intense, Soleil Cristal But my favourite was the Eau de Toilette (2014) with its delicious almond note. I wish Lâncome would re-release it😉

[@tazmaray4973]

Thank you for your review! A sample came in one of my magazines and I just was wowed by it. Hope to add it soon to my collection.😉🥰

[@SokiLondon]

enjoy it!

[@conniedominick6339]

I was lucky enough to receive a free sample buly mail. I love it. The Raspberry is beautiful and the violet must be the other I'm smelling. My favorite is the Soleil Cristal (which keeps showing Last Chance on their website) and I really enjoy the Intensément as well. I know a bottle of Elixer will be in my future.

[@maheshudaya7672]

I really like your honesty, from srilanka ❤❤

[@SokiLondon]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@matheusguedesbaguiar]

It might just be my impression, but it seems like something internal at L’Oréal has shifted, making Lancôme the luxury brand leading in skincare, makeup, and perfumes. I've always seen Lancôme as a very subtle, delicate brand, but with their new fragrances and advertisements, they seem to be adopting a vibe similar to Yves Saint Laurent or Mugler. To me, it’s like Yves Saint Laurent with an extra touch of delicacy, and Mugler with a bit more elegance and heritage. Additionally, I think it would be quite interesting if Lancôme introduced men's fragrances. Although I personally believe that such distinctions are largely unnecessary and each person should use what suits them best, imagining a Lancôme men’s perfume-featuring the brand’s signature rose but with notes associated with masculine fragrances-seems intriguing to me. Also, it might sound trivial, but I believe that women's fragrances are made to appeal to both women and men, and the same goes for men's fragrances. In the end, most perfumes can be somewhat unisex; it’s just a matter of having an open mind. Just my ramblings, haha.

[@melissafasolino446]

Lancome per uomini ha dedicato tanto tempo fa Miracle Homme

[@fabianacosta7976]

I got my few weeks back, I do like the Sparking raspberry on beginning but on my nose the violet takes over this fragrance, is beautiful but I'm going to wait until colder weather to use it...besides I love the bottle with black ribbon...I do have a "small" collection of La Vie (the original plus 11 flanker), is hard to pick a favorite but since I'm into fig I'll pick the Iris Absolute for now😁😉

[@erin627]

Which one smells the most like l'eclat? It was discontinued and i LOVED it 😢

[@strawberryfields81]

I tried it but I was underwhelmed. Bought Iris Absolu instead. Soleil Cristal for summer and L‘ Extrait are also on my wishlist

[@EmilyMarie309]

Thank you for reviewing sophie I really like this❤I already have la vie est belle, but I like the more intense perfumes.❤😊

[@alexandrafeher4648]

Devotion Intense review please

[@ellietyrer]

Hi Soki, Thanks for doing another great review. I tried to use your code on Look Fantastic but it came up as an invalid code. This was for the La View Est Belle L'Elixir. So then I tried to apply it to a 50ml bottle of La View Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire and it took £1.52 off, not 21%. I don't know if you were aware of this but thought I'd flag it up.

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

New subscriber here and love your videos! I’m 72 and get compliments whenever I wear Dolce & Gabana Light Blue. A long time ago, this happened whenever I wore Design. I wonder, with your knowledge of the notes in these, if there is another fragrance you think might suit me? Im ready to try something new, but just because I like it in the store doesn’t always translate to compliments. I love fragrance, and would appreciate your help so much!

[@milenasugrova4949]

I am really smelling the cocoa butter and I don't know if I like it. For me its very difficult one.

[@nosiphoB6468]

I was waiting for you to do a review..this just laneed in South Africa..I need to get my nose on this one...Im still sad they discontinued the Raspberry Intensment one

[@madammadonna]

I like it, mom likes it and a friend who has trouble with many perfumes after she had covid, likes it too, so it is a yes from Latvia 😂❤ for me and mom the strongest scent is raspberry. I have cold skin, maybe because of that. I am not a fan of others much from this line, they have something sharp to them, that I don't like.

[@javy-81]

We got smarties ( US candy) but mix colors I see what you saying though...

[@missmermaid9837]

"Oud perfumes contain oud (an intensely fragrant oil extracted from tree resin) and other perfumes don't! Oud has a very strong and powerful long-lasting aroma, so it is only added in small amounts to create more depth and complexity in fragrances. The concentration level of oud is generally much higher than in perfume." 💗

[@Ella...59]

Is it very sweet???

[@ErsiadaBrunner]

Guerlain Insolence it was coming also in my mind when i smellt this

[@heidith3618]

Great video 🫶

[@SokiLondon]

Thanks! 😃

[@JennaMugler]

I wish Lancôme would bring back the perfume intense version 😢

[@julie_marc]

Hello Soki :) Nice review, as always. This one to me smells too much like those violet sweets I use to have as a kid. Very of putting :/ Also, I notice you are always doing a superb job at pronouncing all the names of the perfume in French! If you want to improve your prononciation of some of these French names, know that « l’elixir » is pronounced like « lelixir », as it there is no apostrophe :) In French, « l’elixir » is the contracted form for « Le Elixir » (kinda pronounced like you did « L’elixir ») but it is contracted to « l’elixir » so as to not have two « E » next to each other and ease the ways it is pronounced :)

[@SokiLondon]

aw thanks so much! I'm very dyslexic and so pronunciation is very hard for me xx

[@julie_marc]

@@SokiLondon I can relate :/ As I said, you are doing a superb job, always :)

[@Say-its-not-so]

Thank you for this, Sookie. I was in need of your review❤

[@SokiLondon]

You're so welcome!

[@AlliBaba1234]

“L’eau de Parfum” just means “The Eau de Parfum,” like “L’Extrait” means “The Extrait,” and “L’eau de Toilette” is “The Eau de Toilette.” Like how we say, “I own the EDP, not the EDT.” Must just be how they like to write it on the box 🙂

[@SokiLondon]

I think so too :)

[@novaskyye1679]

Smells like play dough on my skin at first spray but the dry down is nice

[@MisiaFragilev]

That bottle is so gorgeous i wish it could've been used to house a better juice

[@kate_rina6498]

It smells like raspberry fizzy drink to me. This is the first one I really dont like from La Vie est belles

[@maheshudaya7672]

Your amazing from srilanka

[@ninatriplett7453]

It’s a no for me 😟 I think it’s the violet sweets I can’t stand them! It’s all I could smell when I sprayed it the other day.

[@ratpitt4292]

This scent was so synthetic to me, I couldn’t handle it. I liked the drydown but the opening was obnoxious and smelled cheap.

[@lillylou2933]

The elixir smells of those Parma violet sweets ,but to me was cheap smelling ,for teens I’d say

[@brigittelehmann9749]

They are lovely perfumes but all smell the same to me
