“Very happy with the Flowerbomb and Fireplace dupes. Both smelled (to me anyway) spot-on 100% like the originals, neither of which ever lasted on my skin for longer than half an hour”
reddit post ↗“I absolutely adore the gourmand white flowers, I think they got that spot on . Longevity is lacking”
reddit ↗“I've found them to be spot-on and in some cases having much better longevity than the OGs (the dupes for Flowerbomb and By the Fireplace come instantly to mind, I'll never buy those OGs again!).”
reddit ↗“Flowerbomb which that’s a dupe of”
reddit ↗“I find that the flowerbomb and love don’t be shy dupes are really great and I have finished a full size bottle of both.”

Where people disagree
“Dossier’s Gourmand White Flowers (it’s supposed to be a Flowerbomb dupe). I don’t remember disliking Flowerbomb the times that I’ve smelled it but it’s been years. Anyway, the patchouli on this is so overpowering and I HATE it.”
reddit ↗“Same with the dossier dupe!!! Got the same one because I love Flowerbomb, the dossier one is so overwhelming and almost suffocating”
reddit ↗“I think they're all great dupes except for Flowerbomb only because it doesn't last at all”
reddit ↗“I tried the Gourmand white flowers and there was a hint of Flowerbomb but some other vague scent took over.”
reddit ↗“Gourmand white flowers doesn’t smell like flowerbomb to me. It’s very strong though. Like.. I felt like I got punched in the face with one spray so I love that.. even though it smells nothing like flowerbomb to me”

La Vie Est BelleLancome
19 voices · 9 threads
- Most users view the two as sharing a very similar sweet floral-patchouli vibe, with many noting you likely do not need to own both.
- La Vie Est Belle is generally perceived as sweeter and more powdery from the iris, while Flowerbomb features a stronger patchouli drydown.
- Some feel the prominent iris note makes them distinct, though Lancome is praised for having stronger performance and better value.
Where people agree
“They are very similar. LVEB is more powdery (iris) and a tinge sweeter, Flowerbomb has a bit more patchouli, especially in the dry down”
reddit ↗“La Vie Est Belle/Flower Bomb Two very popular fruit chouli chypres. I prefer La Vie Est Belle simply because it performs better on me, so I feel like you get more bang for your buck.”
reddit ↗“I tried La vie est belle few days ago and during the first minutes, I thought it was very similar to flowerbomb.”
reddit post ↗“I love it. But it’s incredibly similar to Flowerbomb.”
reddit ↗“Lancome La Vie Est Belle definitely is a dupe for Flowerbomb. I remember one time I asked a girl if she was wearing Flowerbomb because she smelled exactly like it and she said it was Lancome”
reddit ↗
Where people disagree
“I think the patchouli in both of them is pretty similar as well, hence why I do not like them both lol”
reddit ↗“I don't think they smell that alike myself, but I think that's because the iris in LVEB is very prominent to me and different from Flowerbomb.”
reddit ↗“Have both both and neither smell alike to me at all”
