Le Jasmin

6.0

Goutal · 2004

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Goutal Le Jasmin is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built on jasmine sambac, magnolia and ginger, and it has been discontinued. Jasmine sambac and magnolia carry the floral heart, while ginger adds a spicy spark. The accords lean fresh, aquatic and green, with a soft sweetness behind them. The notes don't unfold in stages; the scent reads as one whole bouquet from start to finish. It is positioned as a feminine fragrance. Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. It suits those who want a light, clean floral. Goutal Un Matin d'Orage and Cartier Pur Magnolia have a close profile.

Rose Oud Absolu

7.9

Goutal · 2016

Floral · Fruity · Spicy

Goutal Rose Oud Absolu is a unisex oriental built on floral and woody ground, with spice and earthy tones giving it an edge; it has been discontinued. Its sillage is rated good, though that rests on only a handful of votes. It wears without leaning masculine or feminine, in a plainly unisex way. There is no season or occasion information, so it is hard to say when it suits best. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base. Turkish rose carries the floral side, while oud and frankincense add a woody, earthy depth. Cardamom and coriander bring a spicy dryness, and a fruity touch softens the rose with some sweetness.
