A trio of shock at the origin of La Vie est Belle
In order to create an exceptional composition, Lancôme called on 3 renowned perfumers, namely Olivier Polge, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion. Olivier Polge is none other than the son of the very talented Jacques Polge, the perfumer of Chanel, whom his son replaced in 2012. Born in Grasse, Olivier Polge lived the love of perfumery through his father. Today, however, he is considered one of the most talented perfumers of his generation. We already owe him beautiful fragrances such as “Spicebomb” by Viktor & amp; Rolf, “Repetto” by Repetto or “Midnight in Paris” by Van Cleef & amp; Arpels. Anne Flipo is also one of the greatest perfumers of our time, even though she grew up in Picardy, so far from Grasse. We owe him “Sweet” by Lolita Lempicka, “Manifesto” by Yves Saint Laurent and “Mademoiselle Rochas” by Rochas. Dominique Ropion is a perfumer who gives free rein to his creativity. He is considered to be a very talented and perfectionist nose. We owe him great perfumes such as “Very Irresistible” by Givenchy, “Trésor in Love” by Lancôme or even “Lady Million” by Paco Rabanne.
