Nuit Etoilee Eau de Parfum

Don't blame me if I talk too much from my heart. An astonishing perfume .. I did not expect either to go from cool to hot and vice versa by such a beautiful transition and a point of balance; even if the mint / citrus/ immortelle couple for a short time in opening made my eyes pop out of their sockets a little (fortunately this is only a picture! I don't doubt it badly ^^). Regardless, the gradual appearance of this powdery iris, a light touch of black licorice, and an amber / woody accord works wonders with this immortelle in subtlety. I find it very paradoxical, it makes one think of this pine / fir forest in the middle of winter, the snow in abundance then the heat of the night: that of the skin of relatives, that of his beloved in particular. I have only been wearing it for a few hours and find it superb and much better than some iris based. On my skin it plays a central place and the other notes give it a story in which I travel. It is balanced, yet with multiple facets that seem opposite and that come together in a very special moment: Her makeup still fresh, her warm skin (immortelle) and the cold of winter (pine / fir / mint). it reminds me of a famous woman (or skin) or maybe lots of it, an oasis of peace and love in a huge and cold ocean. This scent of skin at once hot, fresh, mysterious and subtly scented, it seems to me so familiar and at the same time so out of reach as an inaccessible memory ... only the smell remains, such a bewitching smell! This blend of iris and immortelle really makes it an exception, and a unique olfactory experience of truly rare beauty! There are scents that don't fill a room, that won't win you praise wherever you go. There are more subtle scents, but once smelled they unleash such an emotion, a resonance and feelings such as you would not have believed! If you can imagine, although I doubt that we can remember the smells like this, but for me: It is the crook of her neck, her bare neck, the tenderness of her skin under my kisses or my caresses, it is is the scent of femininity, of fragility, of its soothing warmth and its strength lies in our willingness to love it (or even our inability not to love it) ... a scent like this to us condemns to go and draw until the last fragrant particle, it is (or perhaps only My) paradise on Earth. Edit: Obviously I bought it as soon as I could, in other words two days later after testing. The projection as some have said seems close to the skin, but yet I could receive full puffs under my mask at more than 3 hours of wearing or even more when it was only a small decant (few sprays, only four). Certainly once a certain time has passed, it becomes subtle and it is a pure success because it plays with the skin as an element that is both personal and external. This perfume mixes two opposing worlds, and create a space of dreams and pleasure!

Aromatic, bright, yet cold. I hear stars twinkling and crickets chirping and the low purr of something sinister. This is a midnight forest laced with a poison vine snaking through the darkness. Cold from the mint notes, cool and bracing with pine, peppery angelica, and a hint of licorice-like smouldering immortelle that suggests an element of danger. A bit redolent of insect spray, but then again natural insect repellent is based on constituents of citronella, mint, pine and other such aromatics. Interestingly, this is not a damp, dark, woody resinous perfume, but a clean, atmospheric woody musk. Botanical forest air, not forest floor. Iris and amber are very prominent. The iris here is like a cold blue musky azure and combined with fir resin, the delicate sweetness of tonka and glowing amber, they radiate a paradoxical aura of woody, warming comfort. My skin really amplifies the licorice/anise like elements of this perfume and I occasionally catch a wafting of something medicinal and almost discordant in juxtaposition to the musk-like iris. Challenging at times, always holding my interest in an intellectually stimulating way. Clarifying. In paring down my wardrobe, Nuit Etoilee EDP replaces three of my favorites: Krizia (cold, spicy, musky), Issey Miyake Lotus (cool, atmospheric floral), Yves Rocher Iris Noir (dark iris). Suitable to wear in the heat or the cold, I'm so happy to have this beautifully intriguing, versatile perfume in my collection. I suspect the EDT to be cleaner and colder without the musky iris-amber base. I look forward to trying that one too!

I am writing this for people who want to know how the EDP compares to the EDT (in my opinion, of course:) The EDP is like Nuit Etoilee meets Heure Exquise. There is a silky, powdery iris in the EDP (it lasts for the duration of the perfume) that is not present in the EDT. It is gorgeous. Also there definetely is a bit of subtle amber, a sweet undertone of it, like the write up says. I find it has less an emphasis on the lemon, mint, and pine--but they are still there, just not as prominent. There is a hint of artemesia-fir tree, a pleasant, natural bitterness underlying it all. They are both really nice--the EDP is beautiful, it is not that much stronger than the EDT, but it lasts a good while. It should not be considered simply a more concentrated version of the EDT. For me both Nuit Etoilees are one of the best perfumes I've smelled in a long time, paticularly among new releases. They really are emotional, they truly evoke the feeling one can get when in the great outdoors, when you are in perfect solitude and in tune with the world, they are well blended and well crafted, like someone put a lot of time and effort perfecting their art. This is also for Adiro who suggested I post this review:)

I loved it from the beginning. I expected this to be much sharper, but is acutally a soft, calm citrus-forest scent with a warm base. :) It develops beautifully on my skin, there is definitely a special warmth to it - like conifer wood that is still warm right after the sun went down. I can sense the coolness from cold waters, grass and stones as well because of the minty citrus-orange note. I am a huge pine lover, pines are one my favorite trees... I can smell it beneath the citrus, mint and powdery woods. They fit together perfectly. The whole combination of natural scents is just so pleasing to me, as I am a nature freak. Still, when I wear it, it is clearly a perfume, not like I spilled fresh resin over my arm. ;) Nuit Etoilée is a perfect capture of a quiet, calm nature in the darkness. The EDT lasts a long time on my skin.

This was my first really strong perfume I liked (I'd previously purchased CK Euphoria years prior but it wasn't a good match). It's very different from anything else I own (mostly fresh or fruity florals) but there's something special about it. Even though it was marketed as a summer perfume, I associate it more strongly with winter and the holiday season (and not just because that's when I tried it on and bought it). When I first sprayed it on and let it sit, I immediately thought of christmas trees. The coolness of the mint reminds me of snow and the crisp winter air. And oranges have a long association with christmas. After it sits for a bit, it gets a bit spicy and starts to remind me of a smoky wood fire.

This is such a cute fragrance! I see people comparing this to toothpaste. It actually opens very minty so I can understand the resemblance. But it's folowed by lovely fir and pine notes and something sweet which on me, gives it some warmth so at that point I don't find it toothpasty but very unique, non offensive, sweet-green with a touch of mint. While I was smelling this I found it somewhat familiar. When I was growing up I remember we had a fir hedge in the garden that every now and then needed to be cut back in proportion. When it was cut it had this distinctive semi-sweet juicy evergreen smell that I really liked. That's what I also smell when I wear nuit etoilee, with a bit of mint.

This fragrance is poetically beautiful. Oh, so light and magical to the core. I smell mint, pine trees, immortelle, orange, angelica, iris and tonka bean. I spent many careless summers on a seaside, next to the pine trees, surrounded by the salty air and parched summer scents among which the immortelle was rousing as an absolute king, captivating all of my senses. The immortelle note in this perfume is out of this world. It is why I have decided I have to have it. Now, far away from the fairytale of my childhood and youth, I get to lose myself in sweet memories with Nuit Etoilee. The power of perfume is a mystery.

I recently fell in unexpected love with Annick Goutal's Nuit Etoilee. I say unexpected because I usually gravitate toward heady orientals and gourmand scents, but somehow I became absolutely enamored by the scent profile of this fragrance. Unfortunately, longevity and projection are minimal at best. Hoping I can get some help finding an alternate fragrance that matches Nuit Etoilee's notes but offers way better staying power and projection. Any ideas? ANY and all suggestions are welcome-- desperate to hear about scents that offer than same citrony, piny, minty vanilla that makes Nuit Etoilee so magical to my nose!

Compare tot the eau de toilette is the eau de perfume less green. As an immortelle lover i smell in the eau the parfume more immortelle and tonka bean. The eau de parfum is a bit sweeter and offcourse last longer than the eau de toilette. Nuit Etoilee is a stunning perfume; little fresh highlights in a dark spicy background. a little dry daylight against evening sweet. It is composed exactly how it is named. The perfume by wearing is elegant and a bit shy,if there could ever be a opposite, this perfume would be the opposite of vulgair The Annick Goutal is a very symphatic ( a lovely sample service) perfume House.

Upon application, Nuit Étoilée EDP has a deeper ambiance and the mint and the citrus are less prominent than in EDT. But overall they're very similar and it's really difficult for me to tell them apart. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is just excellent, 12h+. Since the EDT already has a pretty good longevity on me, I'm going to stick with my EDT and save myself some extra bucks. But for those who have difficulties with perfume longevity in general, EDP is a good option to experience this wonderful fragrance and it worths the price totally.

I already have a review for this before they added this version, but the EDP is what I have, so I just want to say I think the EDP is a bit more well-rounded and stronger conifers in the beginning. It dries down so beautifully soft and powdered, such an enchanting perfume, my bottle certainly is sacred to me. I wore this the other day, and it stayed with me all day, like a little cloud, subtle but beautiful. It is just like a magical winter wonderland every time I wear it...it takes me to my favorite place in the world, Estes Park, Colorado

I purchased this scent in Paris in a freezing day..this added magic to everything. It was th first scent I tried in the store and simply felt in love. Immediately. Warm, feminine, sensual. Wow... such an elegant fragrance. I can clearly smell mint as top note, which perfectely melts with the warmer notes of the amber. For any woman who loves peculiar scents; I swear it cannot be easily confused with any other on the market. When I wear it I feel so self confident and attractive, as well as sophisticated.. a woman in a soft and delicate way.

The mint dominated the opening by about 10 minutes, thereafter it begins to mingle with citrus notes, and after about 15 more minutes on my skin, add the mint, and the overall prevalence is sweet citrus, the orange and citron that cause him to have a footprint very different from other citrus scents. Gradually feel the influence in floral and woody fragrance, but very light, nothing to change the order, but that makes it more sensual, and so it extends to disappear. PS: Sorry for my english :)

Freshly cut citrus under a bed of crushed dried mint, next to a garden of herbs, all enveloped into a thick aromatic balsam. Rich, warm and invigorating at the same time, a wonderful natural smell evoking a green garden on a summer evening. There is something dreamy and sensual about it, addictive also. A winner from Annick Goutal. The longevity is ok, but the projection is minimal after 1-2 hours. Scent: 8.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 5/10

So. I have left a comment under almost every other nuit etoilee, thinking it was this one. This insillage smells of a fresh, citrus tomato leaf, or some green left, vegetal, uplifting and yet has a rounded smooth amber, matched to the tonka, to remove the robustness amber can grant. Very smooth, not great performance for an EDP, but vegetal, smooth amber tonka base. Very calming, uplifting, and "Ready for the day" type scent!

I wasn't sure at first but I kept going back for more and now I have this I'm addicted! I love the way the evolves over time from an invigorating mint to lemony citrus, then to a woody scent, fir resin really coming through. Bizarrely it's also powdery and feminine as well - magic! The iris becomes predominant on my skin after a while and the longevity is great. Love this. Beautiful bottle too.

Amazing! And a very fitting name. It evokes a cold clear winter night. It is difficult to describe how it smells. The mint is noticable yet it is not really minty like in your typical fresh summer scents. It beautifully blends with the iris and fir but not in a cristmasy way. Really unique and elegant with just the right longevity and a subtle sillage. What a gem!

You can move along if you're looking for a realistic coniferous scent. I don't get a true pine note in here, it's more so that the minty fresh opening and warm resinous immortelle heart create a painting of a pine forest in a few broad strokes. Inspired and unique, one of my favorites among the Goutals I've tried.

What can I say...I'm in love! I'm in love with this wonderfully fresh, woody smell. I adore the minty coolness of the first notes and the pine scent of the dry down. I wear it at night, in bed. This calming soothing scent helps me sleep and chase away stress or anxiety...

Well, thank you rschmidt65 for your perfectly wonderful review. I can't say anything more apt at all. I love Nuit Etoilee. I adore the colour and the bottle. Beautiful. It's a beautiful perfume.

To me this is a silent frosty/snowy Christmas eve, with a star studded sky. Beautiful,religious, otherwordly and solitary. Great for Midnight Mass.

Un profumo celestiale! Evocativo in una passeggiata nel bosco in una fredda magica notte invernale. E' un profumo da fiaba 🥰

brilliant. perfection. addiction. retro. totally unisex. must have. 10/10

Spearmint toothpaste with the teeniest tiniest tinge of green grass. That's all it did for me, anyway. SO BUMMED by that, as it's so often mentioned in the company of other great pine-forest scents I love (Fille en Aiguilles, PG Eau Guerriere, etc etc) ... but it just didn't perform for me at all. Seemed heavy on the aldehydes up at the top - on my nose it just lands with a rather harsh, chemical, 'cold outdoors' sort of feel, rather than a gorgeous enchanted forest like some people describe. I got no amber, tonka or iris whatsoever. And sure, OK, I know that my history with immortelle and mint (in perfumes) is mostly an unhappy one, but I couldn't understand how I simply don't pick up 90% of the notes or the beauty mentioned here. And where were my beloved pine and fir? Nowhere to be seen or smelled on me. Not a magic forest, more like a blizzard-blasted tundra. Bizarre. This "nothing's happening here, Marge" effect was so stark and unsatisfying, I assumed the partial bottle I'd bought second-hand had just been ruined by poor storage and age. It sat untouched in my 'get rid of it' box for months, taunting me, as I was too scared to swap/sell it and too guilty to throw it away. But then a tentative deal with someone else specifically seeking Nuit Etoilee EdP revealed that it does just fine on her skin - she says it's in perfect condition and she loves it. So... try before you buy, don't expect miracles, and hope that you're in the lucky contingent who can actually smell the full composition. This is one of the weirdest 'perfume stories' I have to tell - usually, even if I hate something, I can smell and recognise at least part of what other people are getting from it. But this one just had nothing for me to grab onto, beyond the freezing mintiness, and I am clearly anosmic to all its other charms. Weird. And now my sob story is done.

I tested this in the summer and now that it's colder I tried it once more and for the life of me I can't get this to work. I'm not bashing the fragrance as it's GORGEOUS but anything with a slight bit of iris blows up on my skin to the point I can't smell anything else. I spray it and get the minty pine which smells like a summer evening in the forest, then the powdery iris creeps and says "HAVE YOU NOTICED ME YET!?" All I get after is the iris which is such a shame because this smells SO beautiful and soft, very magical if not for that damn iris.. This is my first Annick Goutal purchase and I'm very impressed with the longevity, though it's just powdery. Next time I think I'll purchase the EDT.

Very lovely scent. Sparkly with spearmint, but doesn't come close to the unpleasant toothpaste/mouthwash note. That mint teams with pine and fir notes that manage to avoid the scratchy bitter vibe that often accompanies them, especially in unisex and men's fragrances. A light floral sweetens the whole blend. Frankly, I love this scent, which is why I'm sort of sad that it lasts no more than 2-3 hours on my skin. Sillage is very light. If you work in an office that frowns on loud fragrances, this might work for you.

Nice opening of mint, citrus, like a Mojto. It soon softens with pine, immortelle resin. Cleaned of iris and angelica. This last note contributes a lot to that toothpaste effect I have in the middle phase. It evolves softening further with tonka and amber that emerge and contrast the citrus still in the background. Rather classic, fresh, easy and pleasant to wear on non-busy evenings. The duration is not immense but what it does, it does well, is versatile, relaxing and adapts easily to the skin. Cute.

A truly lovely scent—softly powdery with a touch of green and a hint of vanilla. Do I like it? Absolutely. Do I love it enough to commit to a full bottle? I'm not quite sure yet. I've been on the hunt for everyday fragrances, and this one definitely fits the bill. Still, I’m not convinced I’d reach for it over some of my current go-to favorites.

I was born and grew up in the Finnish countryside so I am very well-acquainted with the smell of evergreen trees like pine and spruce. This evokes some of that foresty smell, but it is by no means literal, so if you are looking for a straight up coniferous concoction, I don't think this is going to scratch your itch completely.

I like this one sprayed in the air but on my skin all I get is the pine. This was a blind buy because I liked the description of its notes and hoped it would work. It just needs the slightest bit of sweetness or warmth to work on me, but I'd love to smell it on someone who wears it as it's meant to smell.

Magical beginning but quickly changes to floral powdery scent which I found annoying. I usually like floral powdery scents but expected wintery, Christmassy scent here and that was so fleeting...

I am so disappointed because the word that comes to mind throughout wearing this perfume is 'annoying'. Perfumes featuring wintry evergreens are among my favorites. I have sampled so many. Nuit Etoilee starts out with lovely prickly pine leaves. It smells like Christmas when the Christmas tree is in your house. But then there is this annoying citrus note--what's that doing there? And then a mint note that borders on toothpaste. Annoying! They smell awful together. Lemon and minty toothpaste at the same time? Yuck. And on top of pine? Double yuck. It did not take long for the natural and promising pine note to become a dull evergreen scent mixed with an anemic immortelle note that smells vaguely like maple, all drying down to an annoying and common synthetic musky base. Sillage is terrible (EDP). That is annoying too. I scrubbed this off after a few hours, it was too annoying in too many ways. For evergreens I prefer a whole host of other perfumes, Tiziana Ecstasy, Odin Tanoke, Parfumerie Generale L'Eau Guerriere, Enchanted Forest, Guerlain Winter Delice...so many

I had high hopes for this one but all I could pick up on was angelica root, so it smelled entirely of ginseng.

Mint, herbs and hand cream NIVEA. Nothing special... :(

Update: I'm wearing it again today and noticing a most delicious sophisticated accord in the mid-drydown. When the sweet, mint and sparkle fade I'm getting a beutifull woody accord. I think it's Amber, immortelle, tonka, but bright notes from the opening, still lingering. It's impossible to discribe, I'v never smelled anything like it before. It may be why this has a rating of 4.45/5 from Fragrantica, higher than Jubilation or Aventus. As close to a masterpiece, a wimpy little fresh scent can get... The most noticeable note is a very realistic mint, like mint leaves. You can smell the greeness of the mint leaves, exquisite ! The mint makes a nice accord with the pine and fir, giving a fresh coniferous woodsy vib. There is some sweetness, not to much, with orange and citron. What really makes it earthy are the piquant notes of Angelica and immortelle. They make it very herbal, green and earthy, reminding me of fragrances like Yatogan, Fou d' Absinthe or Eloge du Traitre. Nuit Etoilee is much lighter than Yatogan. I think the sweetness is not over done, but I would prefer this fragrance more dry and less sweet, but then it wouldn't be as popular... It is still natural, earthy and woodsy enough for me to like it a lot. The notes are great quality, nothing synthetic in a cheap way. I think this is genderless, nothing particularly feminine or masculine. The Iris isn't really noticeable for me. The Amber I notice a bit, adding some woody richness. It's very well blended, nothing really stands out on it's own except the mint. The frag is light and fresh enough for warmer weather, it may be great in Fall and Winter also, versitile in that way. This one is growing on me, I raised my rating twice. The silage is light, and longevity only fair. So I would stay away from the edt, which we read is considerably worse. Don't worry about the added Iris in the edp, it's hardly noticeable. It's the earthy, carroty kind of Iris, not powdery. A sophisticated earthy green, herbal composition, with nuances of bitter sweet orange and citron. Rating: 9/10 God bless. John 3:16

Having fallen for the dichotomy of the EDT's cool/warm, lush/dry, light/dark, I saw a part-used bottle of the EDP on ebay and snapped it up, and have been wearing it all day today. It shares in common with the EDT the cool, bright opening, albeit a little less minty and crisp, and it has a longer middle, with more of a resinous, maple syrupy aroma around the wood, and a more chocolatey dry down, as opposed to the drier cocoa dry down in the EDT. I find it delicious! It is a plusher and sweeter scent than the EDT but is not overly sweet, and is still perfectly unisex. It still conserves the clarity and brightness of the EDT - that fresh outdoor night sky that is the inspiration for the perfume. They are different, but similar, fragrances, and I can sense they will work well for layering and for day to night movement. EDT when I need a sense of space and light, EDP for a more comforting warmth. Both are beautiful, high quality fragrances, and I was able to get them in the blue glass - the EDT in the square bottle and the EDP in the ribbed bottle. Feeling very pleased with myself.

A natural, herbal citrusy spearmint almost set up in contrast with a dry, coniferous woody note that I initially mistook for incense. There's a singed, burnt smokiness throughout Nuit Etoilee that gives the entire composition a very bitter and gauzy gray dimension. On my skin this aspect dominates, and runs parallel to the mint. While it's an interesting combination, my favorite part of this is the opening five minutes before all the gray bitterness enters the picture. I find something about this fragrance depressing, it feels so desiccated and depleted to me, and when I wear it I just sort of watch that beautiful mint note from the beginning succumb to the weariness and dry desolation of its surroundings. It also burns my nose. I've discovered that I don't enjoy mint when it's paired with incense or smoke--Breath of God,Memoir Man, Burning Barbershop, Oriental Mint, Russian Tea, and now Nuit Etoillee--it's simply a combination that has never worked for me. Thumbs down.

I have no idea how a sample of this wormed it's way into my possession. "Pine" is listed as one of my disliked notes on my profile but here I am, happily in love with my bottle. I would say that this fragrance does and doesn't smell like any of the notes described. I can pick them out if I want to but this is one of those "more than the sum of their parts" fragrances. The mint, for example. Generally, I think mint is a terrible idea in a fragrance but here the mint is married to the pine in a way that it smells, not like mint, but like the cool freshness of an evening in the woods. This fragrance is one of those rare scent portraits that successfully evokes exactly what it intends - a starry night in a pine forest. The air is cool, crisp and fresh and tinged with the fragrance of the trees. After the opening dissipates, it's like going home to crawl in to bed to snuggle: a gorgeous, fresh, human scent of skin still tinged with the breath of nature. Fierce love.

Recommend to the holiday season, smell of pine trees (Christmas Trees). But to my mother, nothing special to her, just smell like heavy pine fragrant of bathroom cleansing cream. To me, that doesn't mean bad. I like Christmas Tree very much. In my country, the usual EDP for all Annick Goutal cost around MYR 650 plus, recently they increased the price to MYR 715, by the reason of Annick Goutal has changed the bottles, by right it should cost less replaced the blue tinted bottle to the normal clear glass ones. Suggest purchase online, which the price is around MYR 460 plus without shipping fee. If the boutique or counter is just around your neighborhood, then it's better purchase from the boutique to ensure your perfume is in good condition. If you prefer better quality, longevity and blended Christmas Tree smell perfume, may I suggest Sisley Eau Du Soir, cost MYR 760. My all time Christmas favorite.

Initially, I was a little disappointed. The mint was quite innocent and somehow did not fit the vision I had in my head for this perfume. It's nice and fresh-y, very natural mint. There is a slightly pensive feeling, that does evoke evening or night time - I think it's the coniferous scent. I have not tried the EDT, but the EDP develops into a beautiful clean powder scent. The iris is very beautiful and it's definitely powdery (without being overly dry) instead of anything waxy like lipstick. The mint lingers and gives it a very clean vibe. The powder aspect may be accentuated by immortelle. It's very lovely and artistic feeling, quite dreamy. The drydown, esp on clothes, is very long lasting and divine. I grew to really like this and it's a very comforting scent that makes you want to be in nature in the dark of night.

I associate the mint with penny royal, crushed underfoot on a walk, releasing its fragrance momentarily. I was unprepared for the creamy Jaffa likeness to Elixir des Merveilles, or following on by association to Terre D'Hermes (JCE describes Eau de Merveilles as the sister scent to TDH) Now push those comments aside. The amber and Iris heart of Nuit Etoilee is what remains. If this is what camping under the stars is then I can only suggest that it's 'glamping' and the lackeys doing all the work don't smell at all like this! It's not overpowering even as an EDP. I want more of it. I want to apply in in the morning and keep it going all day. It's beautiful.....and different, and soft but refined. I don't find as much smoke in this as exists in Eau du Sud, which I am also fond of. A winner for sure.

I discovered Goutal fragrances last week when I was at my perfumer's shop and ended up buying four of'em. I wouldn't call it love at first but more a respect to the craftsmanship. I was instantly drawn to the poetry of it, the nostalgia, a vague romantic melancholia hidden in the notes' pyramids. Nuit Etoilée appears to me like a mystery novel, it starts by giving you this impression of lightness with the freshness of the mint then hypnotically lures you into the depth of its pine woods to trap you in the dangerous realm of a seducing iris flower lying naked in a bath of sweet orange tears. You could stay there forever, willingly, but the author has full control... Or not, cause even thought the performance is not ideal you know that all of that magic is just one spritz away...

So I got this because I thought surely people who love it and the original are proof that this version in the newer bottles is good despite being a newer formula. Bc i thought this was released when they already moved on to the bottles pictured above. I didn’t realize there are EDPs made during the blue bottle era lol. I say this to say the second to last version uses this nasty amberwood in the base for that amber accord that completely cheapens the scent. This profile shouldn’t have amber... the beauty of Nuit etoilee is the brisk glimmering night time pine air, it needs to be light to work. But maybe the original blue edp’s are gorgeous and they ruined it? Anyways the ppl below me r right it’s a common boys locker room scent now with this amber

Years ago, I was in love with the previous version.YES! I do consider that there was a reformulation, although it states that this one was created in 2012. Back then, I owned the EDT version. I decided to buy the perfume directly from the Goutal's boutique online and I was so excited to own it again! With the first spray, I was back 7 years ago and a lot of memories poped up in my mind. I completely adore the smell! But with that comes and my disappointment. It's edp,but it lasts 1-2 hours on my skin and it's almost undetectable. That's a shame and definitely not worth 170 EUR. I remember that I didn't have this problem years ago.

A gorgeous unisex fragrance meant to evoke a starry night as you look up at the stars from a blanket outdoors while you're camping in the woods. I smell the fir and pine trees. It's mostly a woodsy perfume. Very aromatic but lightened up with citrus. I can't find any place to wear this so I wear it everywhere when it's raining and it's winter. It smells like a forest. It also seems to evoke the famous painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. This is beautiful and I love the bottle. A night perfume. Very strong so don't spray too much. Love it.

I love the spicy mint in it and how it is mixed with an iris and the freshly plucked pine needles! It reminds me of a summer camp in the woods... a midnight walk with the hands grasp... the thrill of being loved in this innocent caress of two, sharing the magic of the night. After a few hours it is no longer so innocent... it warms up, the iris stands out, warmed by the amber and then ...an immortal love begins to flicker, but close, so close that only in the aura will be felt that real intimacy.

Sweet, barely there, minty evergreen scent. Really lovely but horrible longevity and projection. After 30 mins I can barely smell it on my skin or clothes. On clothes the minty note is the most prominent but on my skin the pine tree really comes out to play and it's actually really well balanced. This is probably the best "freshly picked mint" note I've ever smelled in perfume - the performance of this fragrance is especially heartbreaking because the composition is so gorgeous.

The fragrance lives up to its name Starry Night. I can almost feel the cool night air in the woods, walking alone. I get citrus and mint when I first sprayed, and the fir/pine Christmas tree scent. I don't detect any floral notes at all, and the dry down tonka bean mellows out the mint. It's an invigorating scent and I would wear it both day or night, but not with company. It's a fragrance for solitude.

I love,love,love it, I have now tested both EDT and EDP, I find them quite similar. I prefer the EDP for being more balanced. I smell a sweetened citrus (so fresh that I think I can hear bubbles dancing on my arm), a crispiness which I believe comes from the immortelle, and then an unexpected creaminess over a very gentle incense in the background. Is this the tonka bean? A complex and unique scent!

lovely smell. The fresh mint burst at the beginning gives way to a comforting evergreen needle scent that is only accentuated by a little buttery iris and bittersweet base notes. Not my usual style, but I appreciate how it makes me feel- not every day is a day for big florals (which Goutal does exceptionally too, I must add)!
