Christian Lacroix Perfume by Christian Lacroix, Christian LaCroix is an aromatic scent with a floral and balsamic essence. This fragrance was released in 1999 and developed by perfume-maker Sophia Gojsman. The opening notes of Brazilian rosewood, tarragon, carnation, peach and freesia create sweetness. Ylang-ylang, heliotrope, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley delicately swirl together in the heart. The base of this perfume is made with tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood notes.
