When I first tried this scent, I was a bit put off. It had a green note to it. It smelled like fresh almonds. I didn't detect the foody sugary scent at all at first. I'm glad I didn't wash it off...

This is a very pleasant scent of very soft almond, sugar and wheat. It is very comforting and something I would enjoy wearing on a day when I'm not feeling very well and would find a heavier scent...

I love this! The Salesman told me it was vanilla but I swore I smelled confectioners sugar and almonds. Turns out I was right! As a lover of sweet bakery scents I went mad for this. I only...

This is a "christmas eve" fragrance. There are almonds and (ok I admit it, the infamous play doh note) but the scent conveys a sense of comfort, cashmere and powdered skin. You'd wear it while it...

Soft smelling perfume of sugar coated alomonds - on my skin it lasts for mere minutes. I cannot say it annoyed me - because it is so light on my skin - I will buy something that actually lasts for...

I found myself singing this little song as I smelled this: "Jour de Fete is not for me, not for me, not for me, Jour de Fete is not for me, No, not for me..." Smells just like Play-Doh, But...

My first impression of Jour de Fete was that it resembled an extremely thin version of Serge Lutens Rahat Loukoum, minus the cherry note and with the addition of a nutty note. In the (quickly...

Another disappointment from L'Artisan. Do they make anything good? (Read my review under Tea for Two.) At least I didn't vomit from this one. It smells exactly like creme brulee, not my idea of...

This is pleasant enough. Dry, non-liquory almond note, sugary and a little candy-like without being treacly. There is that wheat note as well, which for me registers as raw pastry dough dusty with...

Jour de Fête means "day of celebration" in French. This is sugar coated almonds, ultra soft vanilla-as light as a one ply cashmere shawl- and a very interesting note of green wheat that to some...

An enveloping cool milky ice creamy sweetness evanesces in minutes to reveal a slow-baked and somewhat flat dry nutty aroma. The notes and their combination have a certain novelty, which I can...

I have finally found the elusive Play-Doh note (I have a toddler and am "treated" to Play-Doh every, single damn day). And it exists in the drydown of Jour de Fete. Almonds...yes. But almost...

I'd give it 3 1/2 lippies, if that were an option. This is a delightful melange of vanilla, sugar, and almonds. Not too sweet, not too foody and very soft. It also smells faintly of baby lotion to...

This is a future classic. ( waves/thanks to barbarellaboy). This smells like almonds and sugar. Or some type of nut with a nice glaze on it. Plus it lasts a long time, well on me it does. For...

If you like the vanilla-coated almonds traditionally swathed in net and handed out as favors at weddings (a.k.a. Jordan Almonds in the U.S.), you will find a fine reminder in Jour de Fête. Most...

The newest L'Artisan is a winner with me. It's not as sweet as Rahat Loukoum, but very soft, and has a milkiness to it, much like Premier Figuier. I love the greenness of the wheat and wish that...
