Ce Soir Ou Jamais

by Annick Goutal , Isabelle Doyen

Goutal Ce Soir Ou Jamais is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999, created by Annick Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. Ce Soir Ou Jamais settles into a heart of Hibiscus and Rose. Goutal's Ce Soir Ou Jamais carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This Goutal is a proper love-it-or-hate-it rose; don't expect a straightforward floral. It's complex, a bit strange for some, but utterly captivating for those who 'get' its boozy, jammy, and sometimes surprisingly sour charm.

About

Ce Soir Ou Jamais plunges you into a rich, deep Turkish rose, less a delicate bloom and more a full-bodied, almost jammy confection. There's an undeniable boozy, wine-like fruitiness that some liken to pear, underpinned by a soft, warm musk. A subtle amber provides depth and a touch of sweet warmth, grounding the vibrant rose and lending an intriguing complexity.
