Goutal Grand Amour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Annick Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. Grand Amour opens with Hyacinth, Rose, Lily, and Honeysuckle, settles into a heart of Broom, Leather, Jasmine, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Myrrh. Goutal's Grand Amour carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a 'grand' floral masterpiece - a melancholic, sensual, and complex brew. For others, it's an overpowering old-fashioned headache in a bottle. Sample before committing, no two skins wear it the same.

Given its strong sillage and complex, occasionally potent floral-leather profile, Grand Amour is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's a bit much for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport, but its elegance makes it a strong contender for formal events or a memorable date night.

About

Grand Amour unfurls with a rich, heady bouquet of white and yellow florals, the potent sweetness of hyacinth and honeysuckle mingling with indolic jasmine and soft mimosa. This opulent floral heart is underpinned by a surprising hint of green freshness, then descends into a warm, sensual base of soft leather, amber, myrrh, and vanilla. It’s a deep, evolving scent, moving from vibrant bloom to a creamy, subtly animalic drydown.
