    La Fête Nouvelle A country gathering amongst soft flowers and sun warmed plain grasses. This is a moment in time for sharing and enjoyment...a simple celebration of the day. One of our "skin...

    Decent almond fragrance, but inferior to its sister scents like Rahat Loukhoum, Lea, Etro Heliotrope, etc. This also contains a weird clean/soapy note that just does not go well with the nutty...

    I have this in an oil sample. On contact with my skin, this oil opens with a fresh dewy bitter almond note. The mid-notes of warm grasses and sandlewood follow soon after. I detect a hint of...

    If this is an almond I think I need to reconsider my supposed love of almonds. This smells like the dry powder notes I despise in Amande Delicate and other such scents (BF Musk for example). I love...

    I love this scent. Warm, soft, creamy, faintly floral. I get no almond when I wear it, though, which is fine with me because almond notes don't usually agree with me. UPDATE: I do get a little...

    I've never tried Rahat Loukhoum, so I cannot compare this scent to it. It does remind me, however, of Jour de Fete from L'Artisan. I would say that it is more inspired by the scent rather than an...

    I cannot believe this is being compared to my holy grail, Lea St. Barth! :-( I did not find this similar at all, except that it had almond notes in common with Lea. That's it. It's a different...

    A great sweet almond in the tradition of Etro Heliotrope and Jour de Fete. Not exactly the same as Rahat (honey/cherry notes conspiciously absent) and nothing like Lea St. Barth in my opinion. ...

    Dead ringer for Lea St. Barth--love it! It might be a bit more floral than Lea but they are both lovely. I have La Fete in oil and in the Vitamin E Super Rich lotion, and both are terrific. The...

    If you love L'Artisan Jour du Fête you gotta try this one! Most lovely sweet "comfort food" scent.

    First let me say, I am not an almond fan. However, on that premise, I have tried SL Rahat Loukhoum, expecting to be blown away anyway. Wrong. Not a great scent. This, however, is what I...

    This is very close to Serge Lutens Rahat Loukhoum in all of it's powdery almond goodness. La fête is perhaps abit less complex and without the cherry note, but, otherwise nearly identical. Very...
