Inspired version of La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme (Quality A)

An iris and praline gourmand, sweet and powdery at once, grounded by a clean patchouli base. Soft, rounded and easy to wear.

Fragrance notes

• Accords: Sweet, Vanilla, Fruity, Powdery, Patchouli
• Top notes: Pear, Black Currant
• Middle notes: Iris, Jasmine, Orange Blossom
• Base notes: Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Praline

Works well in:

• Body and perfume oils — rich and sweet on skin; the base gives it real staying power
• Soy and paraffin candles — strong hot throw; the sweet base reads clearly in wax
• Wax melts and tart warmers — one of the better gourmand performers in a warmer
• Reed diffusers — carries a medium room well
• Cold process and melt-and-pour soap — expect some discolouration from the vanillin; stable otherwise

Supplied undiluted and alcohol-free. Quality A is our highest raw-material grade: the richest materials in the range, giving this oil the strongest projection and the longest wear of the grades we offer it in.
