by Goutal
Étoile d'Une Nuit by Goutal is a refined, powdery floral fragrance with a soft, intimate presence that lingers throughout the day. It opens with a delicate balance of fruity and floral notes—blackberry, bergamot, rose, and violet—followed by a velvety iris and a subtle sweet vanilla base that grounds the composition. While the label claims lipstick-like qualities, most users perceive it as a soft, elegant powder scent with warm, creamy undertones, more reminiscent of delicate makeup or a freshly powdered skin than a literal lip balm. The scent is consistently described as wearable, understated, and classy—ideal for professional environments or quiet moments. It projects moderately but stays close to the skin, with a lasting presence that can persist into evening hours, though longevity varies between individuals. Many appreciate its balance of sweetness and freshness, with a slightly cool, waxy softness that lingers on the skin.
