C`est la Fete by Christian Lacroix is, alongside Bazar, a fruity-floral perfume from this brand that I really like, as I’m not a fan of overly strong fruit bombs;) A truly successful scent where fruity and floral notes balance each other perfectly! It reminds me very much of summer, the scent of flowers, warmth, the sun, and fruits enjoyed in the summer heat:)
Right after application, this treasure is already beautifully fresh-fruity, quickly transitioning into the floral, making for a successful mix of flowers and fruits!
Apricot, fresh-juicy pear, and a hint of black currant blend here with floral notes like subtly perceivable jasmine, and strongly the wonderful scent of orchid, sweet-citrusy smelling rose, and a bit of vanilla. These notes from the top and heart notes quickly merge within a few minutes, smelling refreshingly fruity-floral, almost having a relaxing note! Luckily, the black currant doesn’t play too much of a leading role here, which I’m not too fond of;)
A hint of musk, which is not very pronounced here, and also rather little added sandalwood give the fragrance bouquet a slight animalic-woody note, yet in this perfume, the fruity and floral notes clearly take center stage.
