Winter festival Eau de Parfum by The Perfumist Ici Paris XL is a women’s fragrance with a distinctive sweet and spicy character.
The Dutch brand created this composition for those who love cozy, noticeable and emotional perfume accords that can instantly change the mood.
The fragrance belongs to the floral, fruity and gourmand families.
It combines soft fruity juiciness, airy florals and an appetizing creamy-woody base, so Winter festival smells not simply sweet, but rich and multifaceted.
From the very first moments, the composition draws attention with spicy cardamom and nutty nuances of hazelnut and pistachio.
This opening is warm, slightly spicy and temptingly dessert-like, yet never heavy: the nutty accord gives the fragrance softness and a contemporary gourmand quality.
As it unfolds, Winter festival becomes more floral. Jasmine, peony and peach blossom create a delicate heart with a hint of fruity transparency.
The floral accord softens the sweetness and makes the fragrance feminine, while the peach nuance adds a youthful, radiant mood.
The drydown unfolds in a cozy, rich way: cocoa, whipped cream and tonka bean create a creamy gourmand trail, while cedar and sandalwood lend it depth and lasting power.
As a result, the fragrance leaves a warm, noticeable impression — like a soft winter blanket, a cup of cocoa and a festive mood all in one bottle.
Winter festival is presented as an Eau de Parfum and has a very strong sillage.
This is a fragrance for moments when you want to stand out: it is well suited to winter walks, festive gatherings, parties and cozy evenings out.
In cool weather, the sweet, nutty and woody nuances unfold especially vividly.
Because of its rich character, the composition should be applied sparingly, especially in a small room or a warm space.
The precise amount recommended for skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, so it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and intensify the fragrance later if needed.
This perfume will appeal to fans of sweet floral-gourmand compositions with a nutty accent.
It does not aim for strict versatility: Winter festival has mood and character, while its strong sillage makes it more of a striking finishing touch than an understated everyday accessory.
The release date, its association with a specific collection, the perfumer’s name and other concentrations of this release are not specified in the available information.
At the same time, the composition clearly reflects the cozy and emotional side of the brand The Perfumist Ici Paris XL, offering an accessible introduction to expressive contemporary gourmand perfumery.
If you enjoy fruity, sweet and noticeable compositions, take a look at Gucci Envy Me, Mugler Angel Glamorama and Van Gils Frosted Light.
They unfold in different ways, but may appeal to fans of feminine fragrances with a vivid character and a memorable aftertaste.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.

Jasmine, peach blossom, and peony unfold at the heart — a delicate floral accord with a soft fruity nuance. The base is composed of cedar, cocoa, sandalwood, tonka bean, and whipped cream.
Woody notes add depth to the composition, while cocoa, tonka, and the creamy accord make the trail warm, sweet, and velvety.
Overall, the pyramid combines floral, fruity, and gourmand nuances into a rich wintery fragrance.
