💫 The Iris Bloom Reimagined

La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu is a radiant evolution of Lancôme’s iconic gourmand floral, magnifying the role of Iris Pallida — the “blue gold” of perfumery — in a composition that feels both luminous and indulgent. With ten times more iris than the original, this version is deeper, greener, and more textured, inspired by Mediterranean gardens and the wild fig trees of Grasse.

The opening is juicy and vibrant: Cassis Absolute, Orange Oil Brazil, and Mandarin Oil Italy swirl with Ethyl Maltol, Vanillin, and Ethyl Vanillin, creating a fig-like sweetness with a creamy gourmand edge. Beta Ionone, Stemone, and Iris Concrete Synthetic build the floral heart, supported by Neoflorol, Helional, and Rose Base IFF, giving the iris a velvety, powdery lift.

The drydown is musky and sensual: Iso E Super, Ethylene Brassylate, Ambrettolide, and Macrolide form a soft, skin-like aura, while Patchouli Oil, Cashmeran, and Ebanol add earthy depth. Supporting molecules like Trimofix, Cedramber, and Evernyl enhance longevity and warmth.
