🌸 VINTAGE & RARE: C’est la Vie! by Christian Lacroix for Women 0.34 oz / 10 ml EDT Splash Mini | Discontinued | 2 Condition Options

🇫🇷 A Toast to Life — C’est la Vie! by Christian Lacroix Paris

Few fragrance names capture a philosophy as perfectly as C’est la Vie! — “That’s life!” From the flamboyant Parisian couturier Christian Lacroix, this is a fragrance that celebrated femininity with pure joie de vivre. Launched at the height of Lacroix’s fashion dominance and now long discontinued, even a vintage mini bottle of C’est la Vie! is a genuine collector’s trophy today.

📖 The House & Fragrance History

• House: Christian Lacroix — the legendary French haute couture house founded in 1987 in Paris by designer Christian Lacroix, celebrated for his theatrical, opulent, and color-saturated aesthetic. His runway shows were events in themselves — pure spectacle. His fragrances carried the same exuberance.
• Fragrance: C’est la Vie! (the house’s landmark women’s fragrance)
• Launched: 1990 — released at the peak of Lacroix’s global influence, when his fashion house was considered one of the most exciting in Paris
• Discontinued: Yes — no longer in production; Christian Lacroix’s couture house filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and the original fragrance line ceased with it. Any remaining bottles are true vintage survivors.
• Perfumer / Nose: Jean-Michel Duriez — a respected French nose behind several iconic 1990s feminine fragrances
• Fragrance Family: Floral Fruity / Fruity Chypre
• Concentration: Eau de Toilette
• Country of Origin: France 🇫🇷

🌸 Scent Profile

C’est la Vie! is bright, feminine, and irresistibly French — like a summer morning in Provence:

• Top Notes: Peach, cassis, bergamot, mandarin
• Heart Notes: Rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, cyclamen
• Base Notes: Sandalwood, musk, amber, oakmoss, vetiver

Fruity and floral in equal measure, with a warm, earthy dry-down that grounds the brightness beautifully. A quintessential 1990s French feminine — joyful, elegant, and unforgettable.
