Le Chèvrefeuille

Basic Information and First Impression

Goutal Le Chèvrefeuille is a 2002 eau de toilette named after honeysuckle. Its official notes are lemon tree petitgrain, honeysuckle, jasmine, and narcissus.

Perfumer and Brand Background

The fragrance was created by Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. It connects Camille's childhood memories of weaving honeysuckle crowns with the memory of Eau de Camille, a perfume Annick Goutal created for her daughter.

Scent Analysis: Top, Middle, Base

The opening is bright and green with lemon tree petitgrain. The heart brings honeysuckle nectar and soft jasmine. The base leaves narcissus: damp grass, earth, and a wild yellow floral shadow.

Comparisons and Positioning

Compared with other honeysuckle fragrances, it is lighter, more transparent, and more fleeting. It favors garden memory and lemony green air over heavy white floral sweetness or long projection.

Buying Guide, Price, and Recommendation

It is recommended for people who enjoy spring flowers, honeysuckle, lemon tea, honeyed lemon, and delicate green florals. Longevity is short, so it should be tested by those who expect all-day performance.

Wear, Occasions, and Reputation

It suits spring, early summer, morning walks, offices, white shirts, linen, and gentle daytime settings. Reviews praise its clarity and innocence, while often noting weak longevity.
