Julia Roberts’ favourite perfume

Whenever we hear someone mention Julia Roberts, we perhaps think of some of her most iconic films that she has played the leading role.

I personally always think of Pretty Woman. The iconic film that had us all believing that fairy tales do come true.

The American actress has been the face of Lancôme since 2012 and is a wearer of the famous La Vie Est Belle alongside another favourite perfume, Spring Flower by Creed.

 

A brief insight into the actors’ history

Born in 1967, to parents who had both worked in showbiz and were talented actors, with Julia Roberts’ mother being an acting coach and the couple met during their performance in the play George Washington Slept Here back in 1955.

Although the Hollywood actor started her career in the late 80s, she became a household name when she headlined alongside her co-star Richard Gere in the worldwide box office hit Pretty Woman. 

Since then, she has starred in many successful box office hits such as My Best Friend’s Wedding and Notting Hill. Another two fantastic films that have us laughing and crying.

The list is endless for her lucrative appearances in many films and has seen her play a variety of characters within her role of comedy and drama films.

Julia Roberts signed a deal with Lancôme in 2010 which began with her being the face of their cosmetics line.
The fresh-faced beauty has caught the eye of both men and women over the years as her gorgeous looks never seem to age.

She has been Lancôme’s global ambassador ever since.

Julia Roberts’ favourite perfume

Launched in 2012, La Vie Est Belle eau de parfum, translated from French meaning “life is beautiful ” is one of those fragrances that not only lasts a long time on the skin but has a lasting impression.

Although it was created for women to wear to the office or a lunch meeting and is most suitable for the daytime, it certainly makes heads turn with its gorgeous selection of fragrance notes.

Top notes : pear, black current

Middle notes : orange blossom, jasmine

Base notes : praline, patchouli, vanilla, tonka bean

It’s easy to see why this perfume is so popular.

Having such beautiful fresh fragrance notes, this bottle captures the femininity and grace that every women strives for.

Its elegance and charm in a simplistic bottle continues a natural beauty and happy journey for every purchaser.

With silver leaves around the neck of the bottle, it almost reminds me of a delicate silk scarf that women used to wear in the 1950’s.

The delicate material offering elegance, poise and charm as many were worn as a glamour accessory.

Such iconic actresses, such as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor were known for the delicate material draped around their neck.

 

Roberts is the perfect match for such an iconic fragrance that omits femininity, elegance and perfection.

The video, which is set in Paris, shows the radiant star having a wonderful time surrounded by female friends as she boards a boat and sails along the river.

With soft music playing, lots of smiles and a glistening Eiffel Tower in the distance, the perfect mood is created for a wonderful atmosphere to match this popular scent.

La Vie Est Belle is one of Lancôme’s best-selling fragrances because it combines sweetness and charm alongside a feminine touch and popular perfume notes.

Not only is it a popular choice for women but also one for the men too.
It has a long-lasting scent that doesn’t overpower or need reapplying throughout the day.

Some may say it is a little too sweet for their liking but what I love about this fragrance, along with a few others, is that other products can be purchased in the same scent.

On eBay, they have a lovely body set that includes a 50ml body lotion, a bottle of perfume and a mascara.

When there is the opportunity to use a body lotion that matches your favourite perfume, it can really make a difference to the scent you carry around all day.

Women can be difficult to buy for but if you do know that your mum, friend, sister or partner is a lover of the La Vie Est Belle fragrance, then treat them to a gift set that you know they will love.
