I Rode The Lancôme Express. How Far Did Happiness Take Me?

If happiness had a boarding time, I just sprinted for it in heels. The holiday film from Lancôme, titled Lancôme Express, asks How far will happiness take you. With Isabella Rossellini, Julia Roberts, Ni Ni, and Aya Nakamura sharing the frame, the answer feels like a fast track to nostalgia, modernity, and a little bit of mischief.

Let’s talk scent shadows. Julia Roberts still conjures the iris praline glow of La Vie Est Belle. That smiling sophistication, ripe pear brightness, the kind of sweet that flirts instead of shouts. Isabella Rossellini pulls me straight back to Trésor, the peach and rose warmth that made romance feel grown and gold lit. It’s memory you can practically wear.

Across the aisle, Ni Ni reads like the crystalline line of Idôle. Clean rose, luminous jasmine, a streamlined musk that slices through the holiday sugar glaze. If the party needs fresh air, this is how you throw open a window without catching cold. And Aya Nakamura gives me after midnight energy. Think satin on skin and a bassline heartbeat, so my mind jumps to La Nuit Trésor with its dark rose and vanilla glow. No dress code, just presence.

Sniff-map for your own ticket:

• Love elegance with a heartbeat, try Trésor. Peachy rose that still feels like silk and not a throwback costume.
• Want a glow that photographs well, reach for La Vie Est Belle. It is popular for a reason, but skin chemistry keeps it personal.
• Crave a modern clean that isn’t sterile, go Idôle. Rosy, airy, quietly decisive.
• Night creature, cue La Nuit Trésor. It sticks to the memory the way a late song sticks to your head.

What I like about Lancôme Express is that it doesn’t pretend perfume is homework. It treats happiness like a moving target, something you chase, miss, catch, then chase again. That’s how fragrance works on real skin. Today I’m La Vie Est Belle, tomorrow I might be Idôle, and when the clock hits late, I’m unapologetically La Nuit Trésor. How far will happiness take me. As far as the next spritz, and the next story.
