Goutal Folie d'un Soir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Folie d'un Soir opens with Rose and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Myrrh and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Leather. Goutal's Folie d'un Soir carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, confident blast of resinous leather and rose up top, but be warned: the drydown veers into a polarising 'old attic' or 'too sweet' territory for some. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a bit of a challenge.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, long-lasting nature and rich leather-amber profile make it too much for an office setting, but perfect for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement. Reviewers often highlight its 'night out' and 'winter' suitability, reinforcing its limited casual appeal.

Declarable allergens

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

Folie d'un Soir opens with a vibrant pop of pink pepper and rich Turkish rose, before quickly deepening into a smoky heart of frankincense and myrrh. The base is where the real drama unfolds, with a prominent leather note sweetened and softened by cacao pod, creating a dusty, plush, and undeniably luxurious finish. It's a complex dance between spicy, resinous, and subtly sweet.
