Goutal Eau du Ciel is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1985, created by Annick Goutal. Goutal's Eau du Ciel carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly gorgeous floral that's either 'heaven in a bottle' or 'meh, too much orange blossom'. It's natural, airy, and evokes spring, but its divisive nature means it's not for everyone.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Eau du Ciel opens with a vibrant, green linden blossom, immediately evoking fresh spring air and dewy flowers. As it settles, delicate violet and powdery iris emerge, woven with the subtle, woody earthiness of rosewood. A hint of tea provides a grounding backbone, preventing it from becoming overly sweet, while a gentle orange blossom note adds a touch of creamy warmth. It's a natural, airy composition that feels like a quiet walk through a blooming garden after a spring rain.
