I'm totally in love with my GA Eye Tints but I might give Aquatic Copper a shot

That's pretty. Not sure if I'll get Misty Green after all. Hopefully there will be more swatches, including the three shades that didn't have testers.

These swatches and review were incredibly helpful! I'm either skipping these or getting only Taupe Drop. Misty Green has too much blue in it. I'm also content with my GA Eye Tints (Emeraude, Green Iron and Flannel).

I feel the same way about MG. I'm hoping to get Flannel soon

I'm hoping to get Flannel soon

I hope you love it as much as I do! It's such a unique, complex pink-grey shade. As soon as I saw the swatches, I knew I had to have it.

Great! I like Minuit, too, but I'm going to get Flannel next because I'm hoping to pair it with Shadow

I don't have Shadow, but I think it will pair beautifully with Flannel. I'm so glad the GA eye tints came out first because I may not have splurged on 3 of them at once if the YSL had already been released.

You definitely got three great shades

I love the first 3-4 minutes, when it smells of coffee and then it turns into a lighter version of La vie est belle on me. And I can only smell it in the first 2-3 hours. I wish the coffee lasted longer on my skin.

Funny, I smelled the coffee the first time I wore it but I have smelled it again. I don't really get the La Vie Est Belle comparison but I'll check it out. YSL online finally sent my sample and it arrived yesterday but there is nothing on it noting that it is Black Opium. I think I requested a sample 3-4 weeks ago. They sent it in a huge bubble mailer too. I really want a mini of this.

what do you mean there is nothing on it that is black opium?


I also received my sample last week.

If you look at the notes, the only major difference is that the Black Opium has Coffee and La vie est belle has Praline. The other notes are pretty much the same, just in different quantities. I love LVEB and I'm on my second bottle but I wanted something with coffee in it.

Thanks for the question. I completely goofed. I didn't get a sample from YSL. It was Guerlain. I wasn't expecting anything from Guerlain. I just assumed it was the sample that I ordered from YSL but I didn't even think to try it as I already bought a bottle. I wonder why YSL never sent me a sample. Oh well, I just want a miniature.

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me more about the La Vie Est Belle? I think I read somewhere that the concentrations made for different scents. I know some perfumes are like that. The Edp and Edt smell different from each other. Also, I heard that different editions were different scents. Can you tell me which one you have and if you've noticed any differences between the two bottles you have? Thanks.

I have the EDP and tbh I don't remember how the EDT or the other versions smell but most of the EDP and EDT I've tried smell different. For example, my favourite perfume is Angel EDT but I can't stand the EDP.
I threw away my first bottle of LVEB last week and I bought the YSL and one more perfume and I've been wearing them, so I think I haven't tried the new bottle yet. I'll try it tomorrow and I'll tell you, if there's a difference but I hope there isn't one. I started to get interested in fragrances in more than the "this smells good" and "this smells bad" way just recently and found out which notes/combinations I like in a perfume and which I hate, so I'm not an expert at all but LVEB is widely liked, I haven't met a person, who hates it and that's the only fragrance I get compliments from very different people every time I wear it - it's made to be worn and liked by everyone, so there's a big chance you'll like it (if I've understood correctly and you don't have it?)

No. I don't have it.

EDP is beautiful I am also on my second bottle
when I wear it makes me feel happy. it has such a positive vibe
also I always get stopped and asked what am I wearing. Mind that I have 70+ fragrances and something has to be very special for me to like it as much

 

[Monsy]

LVEB edt I don't think it is even officially launched in the usa
There is legere version (lighter) which is just a tiny bit softer and not as sweet - I like that for warmer spring and summer days

We have way too many pretty options from which to choose.

ysl.com has just posted the black sparkle nail polish and the compact with the white sparkle cover. Yes, I took the plunge....
