Dossier Gourmand Orange Blossom Eau de Parfum
$29−59% per oz
Dossier names La Vie Est Belle as its model and follows its structure: blackcurrant on top, orris, jasmine and orange blossom in the heart, praline, vanilla and tonka at the base; on Fragrantica 12 of 12 voters say it smells like La Vie Est Belle, more than for any other perfume on its page.
What it does worse: Lancôme's pear is missing, Dossier adds hazelnut, and its patchouli sits in the heart rather than the base.
Lowest price per oz
Armaf La Rosa Pour Femme Eau de Parfum
$22.99−84% per oz
Pear and black currant on top, jasmine in the heart and a praline, tonka and patchouli base, the gourmand frame of La Vie Est Belle, and on Fragrantica 86 of 105 voters say it smells like it.
What it does worse: It has no iris or vanilla, so it is less powdery; tuberose, mimosa and ylang-ylang make the heart more floral, and vetiver and hazelnut dry the base.

$39−65% per oz
The same sweet iris-and-patchouli floral, with jasmine in the heart and a sugared base, and on Fragrantica 401 of 623 voters say it smells like La Vie Est Belle.
What it does worse: It is an eau de toilette, so it wears lighter and fades sooner, and sugar cane stands in for the praline and vanilla, which makes it less edible.
