Annick Goutal Paris Folie d'un Soir: fragrance review & photography

 

If Halfeti (Penhaligon's) and Encens Mythique (Guerlain) were to have a hypothetical child, it would inherit facets apparent in Folie d'un Soir by Goutal Paris. It is the bittersweet myrrh, the hidden but omnipresent rose oil with its most oriental notes, and a patchouli aftertaste like that of Coromandel by Chanel.

 In short, a fragrance that pleases, attracts, and easily creates shivers. A cool or even cold evening brings out the tender fluffy boa that accompanies Folie d'un Soir like a cat's tail wrapped around you ready for caresses.

There is something very feminine and ladylike about Annick Goutal perfumes, however, in the classic French tradition, the lady in question can also forget about her prim manners in the bedroom. 

 Folie d'un Soir is now part of the collection Les Parfums de Geraldine (formely Les Oiseaux de Nuit)
