Eau De Charlotte

Eau de Charlotte by Goutal is a delicate, powdery floral gourmand that unfolds with surprising complexity. It opens with a bright burst of lily-of-the-valley and black currant bud, presenting a crisp, green freshness that mimics the scent of freshly cut grass. As it settles on the skin, it evolves into a soft, creamy blend of white floral notes—lily and mimosa—woven with a dry, natural cocoa and a subtle vanilla. The overall profile is clean and elegant, with a distinct powdery nuance reminiscent of baby lotion or vintage body care products. Despite being labeled a gourmand, it is not overtly sweet or syrupy; instead, it balances indulgence with restraint, making it both wearable and memorable. The fragrance is best experienced in spring and summer, with a soft sillage that remains intimate and close to the skin. Its longevity is modest, fading within a few hours, particularly in warmer weather, yet it lingers as a comforting memory. Many find its unassuming charm and nostalgic character deeply appealing, while others perceive it as too faint or slightly synthetic. It is ideal for those who appreciate subtle, refined scents that evoke a sense of gentle innocence and timeless elegance.
