Gourmand Orange Blossom (inspired by Lancome's La Vie Est Belle) starts as a floral trio of jasmine, orange blossom, and orris, blended with a fizzy touch of blackcurrant and hazelnut. As it evaporates, the fragrance develops woody patchouli facets, enlightened with warm praline, brown sugar, and vanilla notes.
Thanks to the natural harmony between orange blossom and gourmand notes, Gourmand Orange Blossom (our impression of Lancome's La Vie Est Belle) is an elegant and sensual composition, full of radiance.

Gourmand Orange Blossom
A sleek and sublime finish
Inspired by the wild elegance of black currants, iris, and pear, Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle Eau De Parfum Spray (the scent that inspired Dossier’s Gourmand Orange Blossom) is a unique take on a warm and spicy fragrance. It may have been launched in 2013, but it’s still winning awards and hearts.
With its deep evolving notes and lingering finishes, the luxury fragrance that Gourmand Orange Blossom is inspired by emphasizes the beauty of life. It is about finding your spark and living it. It is about discovering yourself and inspiring others to do the same. And this particularly invigorating women’s perfume helps you do just that. It is one addictive floral gourmand fragrance and one that can be likened to a shot of tequila – with all that intense verve and force.
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle’s seductive grip on iris, orange flower, and pear delivers a mesmerizing smell that celebrates the joys of femininity. It also has flowery hints of pralines, vanilla, patchouli, and Tonka beans working together to produce a sleek and sublime finish.
Only a handful of fragrances match this legendary aroma. Putting it on it is like putting on the agility of a hummingbird, the gracefulness of a swan, and the elegance of a gazelle.
The luxury fragrance that Gourmand Orange Blossom is inspired by is intense but not intimidating, majestic but not arrogant, ingenious but not boastful, and firm but not cruel. Embrace it like you do the morning sunlight, cherish it like you do a lullaby, and wear it proudly like the lark spreads its wings. If you like the idea of smelling like the auroral clouds just after rainfall, this is the perfume for you.
Maybe you would love for the Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau De Parfum to be yours, but can’t get to one right now. Fear not, Dossier’s Gourmand Orange Blossom has got you covered. Our Lancôme La Vie Est Belle dupe packs a punch with jasmine, pralines, and vanilla. It starts off with a rush of black currants, iris, and pear, before evolving into a comfy, sweet orange blossom and Tonka bean scent as it settles into your skin. A striking fragrance that always turns heads, our dupe gets you noticed, makes you feel wealthy, and brings out the best in you. It’s a warming, somewhat spicy scent that’s ideal for the winter months.


- Katrina G.Verified BuyerI do not recommend this productRated 1 out of 5 stars12/22/25Not as expected
This scent leans more towards old lady scent, in my opinion. Exchanging has become a hassle and it takes days to hear a response. Original order for 3 was $53. 50 on sale. Exchanging for another 3 which is $55. 80 (on sale) yet theyre asking for an additional $39. 50 (on top of original payment for first order). So they're trying to give me the new perfumes at full price, not the sale price that is currently going on and has been going on since I purchased the first 3. I will update this review once they make it right, but in the meantime, I don't plan on ordering from Dossier if this is what it will be like.

- SamanthaI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4/19/25Smells Beautiful! Great Projection!!
I’m a fan of orange blossom and other heavily scented flowers, along with gourmand, in the first place, but I’ve tried this as a sampler twice, and got nothing but compliments (especially from my mom lol). I like perfumes with a strong sillage and this one has got it. Not quite sure if it’s a spring or summer, but I’ll be definitely wearing it to the concert I’m going to in August (after 10 YEARS of working and trying to save up for over and over again)!! I want a perfume that makes a statement and turn heads, and I believe this is the one.
Was this helpful?DPDossier Perfumes4/22/25Okay, Samantha, this review is giving us life! That combo of orange blossom and gourmand is a winner for sure. And YES to the compliments! Sounds like you’re ready to slay at that concert, and we’re here for it.
- Miguel C.I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8/23/24Uncannily the same
I bought this because I received the original as a gift and ran out but I’m running on an in-college-budget- and I might go insane if I pay that much for a perfume so I got this and hopes and IT SMELLS ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW SHOCKED I WAS !!!!!! May whoever at Dossier chose to make this have constantly cold pillow sides.

Very feminine, and while normally I don’t care much for super girly scents, something about this just works. Excellent year-round, but especially spring and summer.

I love this fragrance, it smells just like La Vie Est Belle. It’s sweet but not too sweet and feminine. If you like La Vie, you’ll like this. I took off a star because it doesn’t have much staying power, I can smell it on myself for a few hours but others don’t notice it
