Floral fragrances: find the one that suits you

Since its earliest days, Goutal has written a superb love story with floral fragrances. Many of the House's iconic bottles are rooted in the tradition and expertise of these subtle fragrances, which pay homage to the beauty, harmony and intrinsic perfection of nature.

What is a floral fragrance?

Floral fragrances draw their inspiration from nature, expressing the olfactory richness and beauty of flowers. Its delicate fragrances reveal subtle emotions and weave timeless memories. Rose, jasmine or lily of the valley... These flowers never cease to inspire master perfumers with their elegance and femininity. They are found in a huge number of floral fragrances. Frangipani and magnolia add a singular, exotic touch, while tuberose and orange blossom radiate their superb intensity.

A floral fragrance can venture into fruity accords, combining the freshness of fruit with the softness of flower petals. As for green florals, they incorporate a fresh, vegetal note with honeysuckle or hyacinth. A fragrance can be composed like a bouquet of fresh flowers, with the notes blending together to create a whole new harmony of scents. The notes of frangipani, tiare, ylang-ylang and sambac jasmine in Songes create a sunny fragrance that transports us to a beach in Mauritius.

Perfume or eau de toilette?

A floral fragrance can be either an eau de parfum or an eau de toilette, the latter containing a lower concentration of ingredients. Floral eau de parfum is long-lasting, while eau de toilette is discreet and subtle. To choose the bottle that best suits your needs, analyse the times when you feel like using perfume, and how long you want it to last. In the morning, to let your fragrance blossom throughout the day? Several times a day, for an ever-present, fresh scent? Goutal also offers its iconic Rose Pompon as an alcohol-free fragrance: a delicate alternative, suitable for the whole family, an ode to happiness and simplicity passed down from generation to generation.

Why choose a floral fragrance?

Floral fragrances take you on a rich, sensory journey. You choose to envelop yourself in a fragrance that evokes the natural beauty of flowers. It's a real invitation to connect with what's essential: childhood memories, the expression of delicate femininity or subtle masculinity. Heady or delicate, frail or in full bloom, flowers become the narrators of your life, your story. Each note has its own nuance, each fragrance its own olfactory symphony. Choosing a floral fragrance is a celebration of pure beauty, a language that tells your story in a subtle, joyful way.

 A few tips for perfuming yourself

Because perfume is an art, Goutal has a few recommendations. Wrists, neck, elbows, back of ears: spray your floral fragrance in these areas where the heat is intense. They will ensure that the most delicate notes are diffused throughout the day. Depending on the intensity you're looking for, spray a few centimetres away from the body for greater power, or move the bottle about thirty centimetres away for a more diffused scent. There's no point in rubbing your wrists together as this can alter the nuances of your fragrance. As a final touch, you can lightly perfume your hair, which will leave a discreet note with every movement.
