What changed
Fragrantica owners describe a softer La Vie Est Belle from around 2020, with the iris toned down and less projection. A 2023 buyer called a new bottle a muted version of an older tester. The dry-down is described as mostly the same, a little weaker.

Where owners discuss it
Unless the report says the brand announced it, this comes from owners comparing bottles, not from the brand. Two bottles from different batches can smell different; check the batch code where you can.
