Annick Goutal

I got a sample of Gardénia Passion, OMG it's a fantastic fragrance!

Any other Annick Goutal fans here?

I never heard of that fragrance before, but it does look like it smells good and the bottle is so beautiful as well.

I've never heard of her until now. I googled it and much to my suprise, it is sold at Sephora. It's also temporarily out of stock, so it must be a hot one.

Here's what Sephora has to say:

Gardenia Passion

The seduction of blossoming gardenias blend with the freshness of a garden after a spring shower. The heady trail of scent that is left by a woman, one will never forget.

Notes:

Tuberose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom.

Style:

Warm, heady and sensual.

I love Annick Goutal's but they don't often work on me. You really need to have the right chemistry, which I don't have. Either that or they don't last very long. That said, they are wonderfully crafted though. The reason why you may not have heard of AG is because it's a niche French line. They don't go through heavy advertising like american brands, mostly word of mouth.

AG's also specialise in pear-based fragrances, Petite Cherie is amazing.

Yep, unfortunately this is its weak point
