In the last five years, one perfume has been purchased particularly frequently at Douglas. We'll tell you which scent is the absolute top seller.
Choosing a new perfume can basically be compared to looking for a new book. First of all, there is the opportunity to simply look around and get inspiration on site - without a plan and without bias.
Another option is to decide on a specific direction beforehand and thus narrow down the selection. For books this would be the genre, for perfumes it would be the scent.
You can be even more targeted if you concentrate on recommendations - i.e. go directly to a book recommendation or sniff a scent recommendation. Tips and recommendations like these are worth their weight in gold for many of us. Not only can they speed up the discovery process, but they also provide a kind of security. Because, as the saying goes, what others think is good can't be that bad after all.
Let's move away from the books and concentrate on perfume. There is a perfume that many of us have apparently already bought, buy again and again or maybe even give as a gift. We're talking about women's fragrance„La Vie Est Belle“ by Lancôme.*
This scent is an absolute favorite at Douglas
We spoke to Douglas and asked which perfume is a kind of perennial favorite. Is there a fragrance that is shopped more often than others? A fragrance that leaves all trends behind and permanently occupies a place on the popularity scale?
Although the company emphasizes that it is difficult to define and filter a general bestseller, there is actually one perfume that has been more popular than any other in the past five years (as of October 2024). And that is called “La Vie Est Belle” (“Life is Beautiful”) byLancome.*
What makes the perfume so popular and so desirable? “La Vie Est Belle” is an “iconic fragrance” from Lancôme – this is what the perfume is called on the French cosmetics manufacturer’s website – which the luxury brand launched in 2012.
Iconic scents are characterized above all by their timelessness and their recognizability. This means that these perfumes remain relevant and popular for decades and have a unique and distinctive scent composition.
How does the perfume smell? With Douglas is"Life is beautiful"* assigned to the floral-oriental scents. Lancôme describes the scent as “sensual, passionate, glamorous and addictive.”
And it continues: “It is a fragrance with a special power, with a perfect balance between the nobility of Iris Pallida, the depth of patchouli and an attractive vanilla accord.”
The bottle is also iconic and has a high recognition value with its “crystalline smile”. It is now also refillable and recyclable.
Something important at the end:Apart from the fact that the topic of fragrance is very individual and everyone has their own preferences, not every perfume smells the same on every person. This is partly because the fragrances react to the pH value of the skin. And this pH can vary from person to person.
Therefore: Tips and recommendations are always good. But you can only find out whether you ultimately like the scent and whether it smells the way you imagine if you test it yourself - ideally on your skin and not just on a strip of paper.
