Annick Goutal GOUTAL EAU D'HADRIEN Eau De Toilette Spray 100ML

Vanille Exquise is a sublime well rounded non-sweet vanilla. It reminds me of vintage Guerlain Shalimar minus the leather note plus a bittersweet hint of almond. It starts off with a blast of non-gourmand vanilla and a herbal overtone (angelica?). After about 10 minutes in an incense note gets stronger (benzoin). Later rhum and woods that have been there all along become more prominent, joining the ever deepening vanilla in an oriental dance. Towards the base, I do get a very slight medicinal hint. This comes as an EdT, but lasts about 4 hours on my skin before it gets weaker and less complex. It has decent sillage, but, quite typically for a Goutal, it seems polite enough to be worn year round, summer and winter, work or play.

I bought Annick Goutal passion for my friend and i liked the scent but when she wears it and when it blends on her it drives me wild . I have never had a perfume do that to me before , it is light and very pleasant

Have used Gardenia Passion for many years, and it remains my favorite fragrance.

Every time I wear it around my grown children, they always comment on remembering me smelling like that when they were little. I always get compliments when I wear it. It makes me feel pretty and sexy.

Very well packaged. I've worn this scent for a number of years.. Before you could but it in any other country other than France. It's great to be able to buy this perfume here and know it's genuine.
