Hey guys! Just wanted to give an update! Wore this fragrance last night to bed and the longevity was much better. Woke up and I can still smell the sweetness of this perfume on my chest and arms. The more I wear this, the more I love it! 💕 I recommend this fragrance to those who live in warmer weather and for spring and summer.☺️
Hi Amy, I agree the bottle is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t even buy a perfume if the bottle doesn’t appeal to me 🤷♀️ this one is on my wish list! Thank you doll 🥰
I didn’t like it when I first spray and I’m thinking about returning it but after it dry down , I really love the creamy coconut note , it last all day on my skin . Thank you for your review !
I'm so happy you liked this one! It was not a perfume I thought I would like, but for some reason I tried it anyway, and I just fell head over heels! I'm just walking around sniffing my own wrist! :D It's so warm and cozy, where I live we still have winter, and due to it's warmth, I easyly pull it of as a winter scent - although, by the notes, it does conjure up associations of the beach and tropical drinks. I'm actually wondering if this will be suitable for sumer but I don't even care anymore, I just love how tropical it feels even thugh it's winter! Oh, and it lasts all day for me. I only took two sprays, and after 12 hours I can still smell it very clearly on me!
Im happy you are enjoying it! I ended up decluttering it months after having it because it did start to get cloying since I live somewhere very tropical, but I would love to get another small bottle once I move this fall 😍
I like that you give your honest opinion on each fragrance and don't hype them up just because, Thanks for taking the time to explain the notes and how the scent evolves throughout the day and if it was a hit or miss on you. This helps alot in making a blind buy decision. Buy the way i might need to try out the new LVEB Soleil Cristal, you described it lovely 🤗
Thank you so much for the kind words! I always wonder if I am being descriptive enough and I’ll always go by what my nose tells me 😝 there’s many popular fragrances that I don’t like at all and would never hype it up. 💕 thanks for the support! I hope you like the soleil cristal if you do try it.
Ok, I'm not the only one! I'm coming back to this review after buying Soleil Cristal and mentioning on your IG that this gives me GON vibes. I love it so much!
Yes! I’m so glad that someone else picks that up! I’ve had a couple people tell me they did. At first I thought something was wrong with my nose but I pick up the same orange blossom as girl of now so they remind me a lot of each other ☺️🥰
Girl of Now always strikes me as more "cozy." Like I imagine being in a cozy warm sweater in the winter. LVEB Soleil Crystal reminds me of the beach and summer. I get the citrus and coconut the most and love it! I really want it.
Yes you are totally right.. 🥰 I just wish I would get a little more coconut in the soleil cristal to be able to say it’s super Beachy and tropical but on my skin that orange blossom just wants to steal the show. 😝 but I love both of those fragrances so much. 💕
@@AmyGlam I know, just a bit more coconut would be nice to balance that out. Maybe layering with a bit of a coconut lotion would help? I really want a coconut and lime fragrance with a hint of salt.
Hi Amy. I just tried out Girl of Now yesterday. I wore a sample for the whole day to work. I had the exact same thought, that it reminded me of LVEB Soleil Crystal. I have Soleil Crystal and really like it. For me I prefer it over Girl of Now. I think because I live in a very warm climate and Soleil Crystal lasts better on my skin and projects a bit more. I’ve been enjoying watching your videos. Best wishes from Australia 😊
Hi! I think it’s the orange blossom coming through on both of them and that’s what makes us think of them being similar. I still have girl of now because it just has a special place in my collection and I can’t wait to see how it performs in cold weather 😍🙌🏼 I decluttered Soleil crystal after about a year and a half of owning it. I’m not sure if my bottle turned bad or what but it smelled so different from what I remembered but I might give it another try again after I move 🥰 Thanks for watching! ❤️
Hi! I'm late to both this fragrance and your video. This LVEB is a complex fragrance and it took me a bit to decide I like it. On me it reminds me of a much softer version of Mugler's Angel. I think it's the coconut jasmine bergamot and iris notes. This is a much more subtle and tolerable perfume than Angel; its not a Sillage bomb and like you said it dries down to a skin fragrance after a bit. It does stay noticeable on clothing you may notice it on laundry day. This one is pleasantly different. I got the large bottle as it was the last one and the SA said I could return it but it's a keeper. Thanks for breaking this down so nicely 👌
Just subscribed to your channel a few days ago and I love how detailed you are with the fragrances,I have a list of perfumes I want and you kinda help me decide if I really want it or not,however I'm purchasing the florabotanica edp,Coach floral blush edp, and Alien fusion edp just to have for the spring/summer months for everyday wear....now I'm interested in this 1 as well,lol...
Thank you so much for the support I’m glad you enjoy the reviews ☺️ the list of fragrances you mentioned are all so good. I currently don’t own florabotanica but I did own a bottle in 2015 and I loved it so much, I’m thinking about buying it again. The la vie est belle sólido cristal is so good but definitely one that I think will do good in hot weather. 💕
Hi Amy I just received this in the post, it was a blind buy and my first fragrance from Lancome and I have to say I really like it. I love the bit of spiciness it has to it. Lol
So true! After 5 or 6 uses, when day when I sprayed it on me, it reminds me of girl of now, and since then, they are almost 70% alike expect the coconut
I wore it last night to bed and the longevity was much much better than the first time I wore it. (I did spray a little more than the first time 😝) I would love to hear your thoughts when you get your hands on it. I think it performs amazing in warm weather 💕
Oooh I have la vie est belle intensement in my bin for my next blind buy haul. I can’t wait to sniff that one 😍 I’ve heard so much good things about that one.
Amy would you do a favourite almond/coconut fragrances? I too live in the sweltering heat and our tastes seem to align so I'd be really curious about your recommendations
I like this one, I just got it today at Ulta for my bday on July 4, I got it early because they only had one big size, I felt the same , I felt like it was a little similar to girl of now briefly. I think I’ll layer this with the original one for longevity when fall/ winter get here 🥰♥️
I'm a new subscriber ! I'm definitely a perfume addict lol 🤣 anyway, I love the way you described this fragrance! And you are absolutely beautiful ! I'm so excited I have to try this !!! 💜💛🧡😍
Yay thanks for reviewing this one. I want to smell it so bad but the blind buy urge in me is strong 😆 I own 4 different la vie est belles so far. Tfs 💕💕💕
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 🥰 I ended up owning like 6 of them and I never even liked la vie est belle a few years ago 😆😂 now I want them all 😦🤣
@@AmyGlam My husband bought me la vie est belle original when it first released 3.4oz and I ended up selling it. Then to repurchase it again because I missed the smell lol And after that I bought the intense, eclat and intensement. I love them all but intensement is my least favorite because the patchouli and pink pepper mixed with the raspberry comes off a little screechy but I do enjoy it in colder weather. The dry down is my favorite because the vanilla tones it down. Edit: I just took a sniff and it’s so good. I don’t remember it smelling this good lol maybe my nose has matured once again 😆 I think you will love this one. I sprayed lightly this time because it can pack a punch if over sprayed. Sorry for long rant.
I don’t think they are similar. Dolce garden is way creamier. This one is citrusy in the opening then turns a little warmer and the coconut cone through but with vanilla and patchouli. I think la vie est belle soleil cristal is a little more tropical too ☺️
@@maitemannaerts60 I tried a sample of Dolce Garden and I couldn’t handle that one since where I live is so hot. It was super cloying on my skin and made me sick. I love the way it smells though 😩 but it doesn’t work for me here in the heat.
They are different enough to own both, I think I got similarities back then because I picked up a lot of the orange blossom in both of them but many people don’t pick up similarities between them. ☺️
This one has similar vibes to la vie est belle original but it isn’t heavy on patchouli and it’s much sweeter with coconut, vanilla and a lot of orange blossom 🥰😍
Lol. Everyone thinks this smells like something and no one agrees. Lol. I returned it because it smells like eau de Soleil blanc and I own that already. I only like the bottle. That opening is very screechy too. Not blended well. I wanted to love this but.. nope.
You know what I think it might be? I think it’s the weather. I remember watching your review and I was scared since I had already ordered it and when I got it and smelled it I got such a different scent. Warm, coconut, orange blossom, with a hint of la vie est belle DNA. I think if you try this one in the summer months in the heat it performs so much better ☺️ because the heat here in Puerto Rico is no joke 🥵😂
@@OpinionatedScents 😩😂 lmao! Don’t worry I can send you a sample so that you can try it when it starts to warm up a bit where you are if you’d like. 💕 👌🏼
I don’t think it’s the type of patchouli that dominates in other fragrances and makes it too strong. The patchouli in this one is just perfect to balance out the sweetness. ☺️
I actually got that one not so long ago as well ☺️ I think they can be grouped in the same category but to me they give me different vibes, but they are both gorgeous scents. I live the vanilla in la nuit nude🥰
@@AmyGlamwould you say soleil is worth getting? I smelled it in store a while ago but tbh I’ve half forgotten. Would you say they’re different enough or?🤔
@@laurs5551 I think it is so worth it to get it but if for warm weather. I think it performs better in warm weather. I am going to wear both and test them out thoroughly and I’ll do a comparison video 👌🏼☺️

I didn’t at first. Reach back for it and Yesssssssss I love it ♥️💐
Any similarity to Alien Goddess? Worth owning both?
I’m wearing this now and as soon as you said it has a similar vibe to GoN I smelled my wrist and totally get what you’re saying!
I thought I was the only
One until I started getting a few comments saying they got that as well! 😆🙌🏼
So true! After 5 or 6 uses, when day when I sprayed it on me, it reminds me of girl of now, and since then, they are almost 70% alike expect the coconut
I’m so glad someone picks up the same thing as me 😆 🥰
This fragrance sounds nice. I’ve been considering getting this one. 💕
It’s a good one 🥰😍 totally worth getting 💕
Any updates?
Yeyyyy!!! Thank you for reviewing this ! We still don’t have it here 😫🙃

I'd love to try that one! I have the LVEB l'eclat edt coming soon I hear that one is perfect for spring!
You should try it and l’eclat is beautiful, you will love it 🙌🏼 ☺️
i don't like coconut scents, my favorite is la vie est belle intensement 💜
Oooh I have la vie est belle intensement in my bin for my next blind buy haul. I can’t wait to sniff that one 😍 I’ve heard so much good things about that one.
I wanted so much to like this one. It smelt like burnt rubber to me.
I am interested in The La Vie Est Belle Intensement. I am looking forward to your review on this one.
I should be filming the haul with that one in it next week ☺️💕
This scent is so beautiful and perfect for taking on holiday ,i just ordered the largest bottle today 😉👌

Thank you so much! I don’t remember the details of the makeup I had one but I’m almost sure my foundation was the huda beauty stick foundation. ☺️
How cute is your skin glow it looks just like the bottle
Thank you! 🥰
wow, I have girl of now and I like it, fine with it if they are similar, just ordered SOLEIL CRISTAL, so exciting~

I love coconut scents. I recently got Dolce Garden and I love it. Would you say there is a comparison between the two?
I don’t think they are similar. Dolce garden is way creamier. This one is citrusy in the opening then turns a little warmer and the coconut cone through but with vanilla and patchouli. I think la vie est belle soleil cristal is a little more tropical too ☺️
@@AmyGlam thanks. It sounds really good. I'll have to try it.

@@AmyGlam hmm don’t know what to do now 🤔 I live in Belgium so most of the times it’s not that hot 😅
I love the way it smells, but the longevity is so pitiful that I shy away from buying it. And in the end I prefer D & G Garden over this hands down.
Is it any similar to alien goddess??❤
This perfume is super long lasting
It reminds me of valentino donna born in roma the hint of citrus jasmine fruity and orange blossom…just me?
Ohno I just ordered this one and I already have Girl of now! Hope they are different enough
They are different enough to own both, I think I got similarities back then because I picked up a lot of the orange blossom in both of them but many people don’t pick up similarities between them. ☺️
