Goutal Eau de Charlotte is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1982, created by Annick Goutal. Eau de Charlotte opens with Lily, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Vanilla. Goutal's Eau de Charlotte carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral gourmand with a touch of innocent nostalgia. Some will adore its unique blend of powdery sweetness and floral freshness, while others find it a bit too old-fashioned or fleeting.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

De Charlotte initially bursts with the fresh, green notes of lily and lily of the valley, quickly softening into a delicate mimosa. The dry down is where the magic happens, a comforting embrace of powdery cacao and a subtle, unsweetened vanilla, creating a unique gourmand accord that feels both innocent and refined. It's a soft, intimate scent that evokes a sense of gentle charm.
