La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu ($124 -$158; lancome-usa.com) is a new fragrance from Lancome, a warm, sweet and crisp floral with notes of Iris Pallida, Fig, Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Patchouli. It's a perfect summer-fall transition fragrance that goes on light, yet has great longevity through the day. The opening is floral, very crisp and very slightly sweet without being too cloying. The Iris is the most prominent one with a little sprinkle of the fig and blackcurrant. The Jasmine isn’t too heady and blends well with the other notes to keep it feminine and sophisticated.The fragrance feels more like a gourmand once it dries down and the patchouli keeps it from getting too sweet. The longevity is pretty good much like all the other Lancome fragrances. The bottle design is also lovely and complements the La Vie Est Belle collection of fragrances beautifully. Overall, a gorgeous perfume from Lancome, as always, and makes for a great gift for the holiday season!
