C'est La Fete

19. January 2011 Love this one!!! It is like a pear lemonade, yet it has much more to offer, very universal fragrance for day or night, office or night out. Try it on your down jacket in the colder time of the year and you will be surprised! I thought it is a summer time only fragrance, but then a miracle happen as i sprayed it onto my down jacket during some chilly autumn day! It also lasts much longer on that material than on my skin or my hair. Stocking this up, because it seems that this one is going out!! Fresh and fruity it is a really happy fragrance for me. ---------------- UPDATE summer 2024: This fragrance is still a staple in my wardrobe after all these years since discovering it. I truly adore it and find to be THE best pear centered fragrance ever created, that actually smells like you could taste it: very juicy and mouthwatering. I have stocked up on it and never want to run out of it. It does not last very long during hot summer, but in colder weather it performs much stronger. Only high praises for this amazing fragrance.

I had not tried this one ,but mum had raved about the patchouli version so I bought it unseen for a good price on Ebay and I'm really happy that I did! I found that the top notes all burst out at once when you first spray it on-for me the bergamot,blackcurrant and pear were the most noticeable,then fairly quickly it starts to develop into a more floral scent,ending as a powdery sweet vanilla rose-it really reminds me of the original Tocade by Rochas-a former signature scent of mine. Love it !

I'm on a passionfruit high today, thanx to this baby. Bought myself a miniature coz I loved the bottle but when I smelled the potion I was just inlove. One sniff & i get an image of the Rio carnival. Thats the kind of energy the fume vibrates. Intersting how the top fruity notes blend in with the middle ones. Happy to say it's going to be a keeper. Cocktail of pleasures the name is fitting. Thumbs up!

Is it sweet? Absolutely! But in a very nice way. Usually I have a deep dislike for fruity florals, but this one pulls it off. I can smell the vanilla very clearly amongs all the sweet fruit and flowers, and it makes the perfume more mature, more balanced than most presentday fruity florals. Lovely for a hot summer day.

Lovely, sweet, fruity - flowery, somehow reminds me of some Escada fragrances - maybe because of the fruity notes. To my surprise quite long lasting, but not overpowering - a great deal! I'm so glad I choosed this fragrance!
