Which M&S Perfume Smells Like La Vie Est Belle?
Sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Wondering which M&S perfume smells like Lancome’s La Vie Est Belle? You’ve come to the right place, as I’m sharing what I know about the incredible dupes M&S has in their extensive collection of fragrances.
Despite primarily selling incredible fashion, M&S has some seriously good beauty bits. I usually walk straight past their perfumes and head straight for their women’s fashion section, but after seeing them all over TikTok, I quickly realised what I’d been missing out on.
Just like Zara’s fragrances, those in M&S smell similar to some of the world’s most coveted perfumes, and just like the fashion I mentioned earlier, M&S’ beauty products are seriously affordable. Their perfumes start at just £6 (yes, really), so there’s no excuse not to smell good.
