Goutal Eau de Lavande is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1981, created by Annick Goutal. Eau de Lavande settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Goutal's Eau de Lavande carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Eau de Lavande pairs lavender with spice, then sweetens the finish with tonka bean and vanilla. It is a classic, softer take on lavender that avoids the barbershop cliche. Easy to like, easy to wear.

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.

About

Eau de Lavande puts lavender at the centre, with spicy notes alongside it in the heart. That gives the herbal, aromatic character of lavender a little warmth and bite. The base of tonka bean and vanilla rounds the scent with a gentle sweetness and a creamy, soft finish. It is a simple, classic aromatic that stays calm and clean rather than loud. A good fit for anyone who wants lavender without it feeling sharp, for either men or women.
