What does Le Temps d'Une Fête smell like?

It opens with galbanum and opoponax, a fresh green start softened by a spicy warmth. Hyacinth and narcissus carry the floral heart. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and oakmoss settles into a woody, animal ground with a powdery touch.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading the occasions. Feminine is the character most voters choose, with classic second. Miraculum Classic and Givenchy Givenchy III (2007) have a close profile.
