Goutal Vanille Exquise is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Vanille Exquise opens with Angelica, settles into a heart of Musk, Sandalwood, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood and Vanilla. Goutal's Vanille Exquise carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This Goutal vanilla is divisive, splitting the room between those who adore its subtle elegance and those who find it too fleeting, too powdery, or even- gasp- like Play-Doh. For some, it's an exquisite, smoky dream; for others, it's just not hitting the mark. Definitely try before you buy.

About

Vanille Exquise opens with a delicate, non-gourmand vanilla, hinting at smokiness with guaiac wood. The heart unveils a soft, powdery almond balanced by a whisper of Angelica's green, herbal touch and creamy sandalwood. White musks in the dry down ensure a clean, comforting finish that sits close to the skin, making it an airy, elegant vanilla rather than a saccharine one.
