Christian Lacroix C'est La Fete is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Jean Jacques. C'est La Fete opens with Bergamot, Pear, Apricot, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Mirabelle Plum, Marigold, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Orchid, and Vanilla. Christian Lacroix's C'est La Fete carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive fruity-floral, C'est La Fete is either a charming summer pick-me-up or a 'cheap shampoo' smell that quickly fades. Lovers praise its juicy, tangy fruit and clean musk, but detractors find it too weak, too sweet, or too generic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opening with a burst of tangy fruit, C'est La Fete blends bright bergamot and passionfruit with the sweet, juicy notes of pear and apricot. As it settles, a floral heart of mirabelle plum, rose, and marigold emerges, adding a touch of vintage charm. The drydown is a soft, clean musk with hints of creamy vanilla and warm sandalwood, keeping the fruity freshness grounded.
