About This Perfume
Goutal Tenue de Soiree comes across as powdery violet-laced praliné on soft skin. It opens with pink pepper, Italian bergamot and freesia, moves into iris, violet and water lily and settles on patchouli, musk and praliné. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2016.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $192.
