Goutal Nuit Etoilee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Nuit Etoilee opens with Citron, Orange, and Mint, settles into a heart of Pine and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Angelica, Immortelle, and Tonka Bean. Goutal's Nuit Etoilee carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Nuit Etoilee is a divisive one. Many find this take on a winter forest magical, fresh and tranquil; others get something closer to minty citrus cleaner or toothpaste. Definitely don't blind buy.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Imagine a cool, crisp forest night: Nuit Etoilee perfectly captures the invigorating chill of mint and zesty citron, brightened by a hint of sweet orange. As it settles, the scent deepens into a woody embrace of pine and fir resin, evoking towering evergreens. A delicate base of immortelle adds a honeyed, hay-like warmth, while angelica and tonka bean provide a subtle, creamy sweetness, rounding out an ethereal forest experience.
