What does Jour de Fête smell like?

Longevity and sillage sit in the moderate-to-weak range, so it suits anyone who wants a soft trail close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and finds a place at the office too. Most voters read it as feminine.

Laurel and cedarwood build a floral, woody base, and orris root wraps it in a powdery softness. Wheat and almond carry the gourmand side, while Bourbon vanilla keeps the sweetness warm and round. A spicy touch hums faintly in the background. Derek Lam 10 Crosby Something Wild and L'Artisan Parfumeur Bois Farine have a close profile.
