Cinéma Festival

Ahhhh! Finally! After I purchased almost every other version of Cinema I finally have found what I was looking for! THIS is Cinema for summer and daytime wear. It is very much like the original with a hint of citrus adding spark and lightness throughout the opening and middle notes. The dry down is indeed almost identical to the original Cinema dry down but still remains a lighter version. There is no addition of herbal or strong lemon notes as there is in the D'ete & Scenario versions. Lasting power, the same as classic Cinema for me which is around 4+ hours. This is pretty much perfect if you really truly want a lighter classic Cinema (and if you don't mind light citrus notes). Yay! I just wish I had purchased this one at the beginning of my search rather than the end.

Gorgeous. I love the vibrant citrus opening. I love how the fresh florals slowly and effortlessly intermingle with the juicy lemon before the whole melange slowly settles onto the yummiest base of vanilla and amber. Cinema Festival is a beautiful balance of cool and warm. It's upbeat but relaxed at the same time. It has the plush dry down of the original but Festival is lighter and brighter overall - it's like sunshine in a bottle. This is one of my favorite summer scents. Plus, the bottle is gorgeous.

beautiful, light perfume. not overpowering or overwhelming... ideal for wearing when working among others. (I'm a diversional therapist) citrusy, but not in a CK1 way. a bit more girly. give it a try.

Thank you JC2109. I had contacted another seller about the same fragrance and was told it was an edp. That didn't sound right for a summer scent. He/she must have made a mistake.

At first I could not tell the difference between Cinema Festival and Cinema Festival d'Ete. And both have suns on them. The Ete came later and is more like the original Cinema but still the lighter version. I like the straight Festival better for the fresher citrus on top. Citrus with cream and spice, very warm like an older Armani scents like Mania can be. I wish-wish-wishee they had made body lotion and shower gel. This is my favorite YSL, not a brand which I usually think of as my style even though one of the first fragrances I ever noticed was (the original formila) Opium which shocked me with its beauty and intoxicating drydown.
