Lancôme presents the first fragrance belonging to the woody iris olfactory family: La Vie est Belle L’Extrait. Now in a unique and powerful version, this novelty features notes of rose and iris pallida enhanced by the depth of an oud accord, one of the most exclusive and luxurious ingredients in the world of perfumery. La Vie est Belle L’Extrait embodies the idea that every second of happiness is precious and should be embraced, valued, and shared.


Crafted by master perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, the creators of the original eau de parfum in 2012, La Vie est Belle L'Extrait stands out as a pioneer in the saga. "For L'Extrait, we kept the characteristic notes of La Vie est Belle while intensifying the woody signature with complex and captivating facets. It's an enigmatic and mysterious fragrance," explains Anne Flipo.

In the top notes, the sacred resin of frankincense or incense accord adds a spicy touch to the iconic fresh and fruity opening, combined with bergamot and red fruit accord. The heart of the composition presents a rose essence that revitalizes the bouquet, while iris pallida underscores its sophistication. For the first time in La Vie est Belle, an oud accord brings the woody signature to the fragrance as a base note, adding depth, richness, and mystery to the iconic trail.


Persisting as a warm and sensual vibration on the skin, this woody aspect evokes a captivating allure and bestows unprecedented opulence to the fragrance. Dominique Ropion asserts, "With L'Extrait, we created a perfume that incorporates the richness of woods. A fragrance infused with warm woody notes that blend seamlessly with the captivating depth of oud. It's a sophisticated and deeply sensual olfactory experience."
