LANCOME LA VIE EST BELLE SOLEIL CRISTAL
The Story
La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal reimagines the beloved LVEB universe through a prism of Mediterranean sunlight. Anne Flipo replaced the original's iris and gourmand sweetness with coconut, peony, and sun-drenched white florals, creating the most luminous, summer-ready member of the La Vie Est Belle family. Released in 2021, it captures the feeling of warm sun on bare skin, the scent of tropical flowers, and the bliss of a perfect summer day.
