<i>A new interpretation of vanilla, sheer and balanced by the light bitterness of almonds to make the fragrance savoury and warm. The delicious fragrance evokes the sugared almond. This fragrance...

I love jour de fete. It is very comforting scent which is very light. Just beautiful. I find it not sweet or cloying at all (but in general I love almond-vanilla gourmand scent). It's so unique. I...

I bought this from the L'Artisan on-line boutique, as this fragrance is hard to find even in Dallas, where I live. But it was a big mistake. Somehow, I had failed to notice that L'Artisan had...

One of the few fragrances from L'Artisan that can definitely be categorized as feminine, this is a beautiful blend of almond and vanilla. Not girly, not old-ladyish, not generic, but an...

At first, I was really pleased with the soft almond scent. A second later, Play-Doh. Another second later, it was gone. Too bad, because it was very pretty - - at first!

I am a mad lover of almond scents. I nearly doused myself in this when I first got it. It's <i>so</i> good. But I am absolutely horrified by the lasting power of this. So this is what the girls are...

I admire this unusual composition so much and wish I could in good conscience rate it more highly, but it's so weak and the lasting power is so poor! I received half a sample vial in swap and used...

First there was a burst of sharp sweetness--I guess that's the candy shell. Then came the purest PlayDoh note I've ever experienced. I loved PlayDoh as a child (and suspect I might now, as well),...

I adore true almond scents, but I did not get enough almonds in this, especially to justify the hefty price I paid for the bottle. I wished this were a bit sweeter. There was too much of a dry...

On my own I probably wouldn't buy this. I love vanilla and almonds but Jour de Fete didn't make enough of a statement for me (for that I'd turn to something like POTL's Luctor et Emergo instead) --...

I am not a big fan of L'Artisan fragrances, they don't seem to work on me and their staying power is left wanting, but this is one of the few I eventually came to like. When I first tried the new...
