Christian Lacroix's signature scent is warm and wonderful. It reminds me of a day at the beach -- of course it comes in a seashell shaped bottle! It has hints of vanilla in the bottom notes without smelling too much like all those other vanilla fragrances that are out now. I wear it all day and into the evening.
