Creamsicle Mood

La Vie est Belle Vanille Nude by LancomeLancomeLa Vie est Belle Vanille Nude3.736 ratings

A bit tired and not looking forward to doing some chores, so I picked a bright layering combination this morning.

LVEB Vanille Nude is probably my favorite recent flanker. Many of the LVEB flankers can be cloyingly sweet, but this one is hardly sweet at all. It's a musk-heavy, slightly savory vanilla that's very easy to wear, even in hot weather. I choose it when I want vanilla but not the sweetness that usually comes with vanilla perfumes.

I've layered Nest Seville Orange perfume oil on top for some added energy. This is my favorite to layer with any vanilla perfume really for the perfect Creamsicle vibes. It is a bright, zesty scent that smells exactly like peeling a tangerine - that moment when you break the skin and the oils and a little juice spurt out. Not too sweet, mostly tart and refreshing.

    I’m curious about that one cause I agree with you on the other flankers. The only one I liked was the one with raspberry that got released not toooo long ago (maybe last year)

      Maybe L'Elixir? Vanille Nude is similar in that it doesn't really smell like the original LVEB. It's a non gourmand vanilla.
