Goutal Petite Cherie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Annick Goutal. Petite Cherie opens with Grass, Pear, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Lilac, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Goutal's Petite Cherie carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Petite Cherie is a sweet, fresh-cut pear bomb with divisive opinions on whether it's a childhood dream or just fancy shampoo. Longevity is a common complaint, so be prepared to re-spray.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its light, inoffensive, and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear or the office, though its weaker performance means it won't project too much. While some find it appropriate for dates, its youthful and fresh nature makes it less ideal for formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a burst of incredibly juicy pear, blended with slightly tangy peach and a crisp, green hint of freshly cut grass. This bright, fruity introduction mellows into a heart of delicate rose and lilac, supported by the airy touch of hedione. The dry down is a soft, clean musk with a whisper of vanilla, maintaining its fresh, subtly sweet character throughout its limited wear time.
