honeysuckle

The scent of honeysuckle in the air

Anyone who has ever smelled honeysuckle in the air, knows how captivating this scent is. Many women love the scent. It holds fond memories. No wonder it is a fragrance often developed for perfume companies!

Chèvrefeuille (Honeysuckle):

The richness of a Spring Flower.

How is the scent of honeysuckle obtained?

Interestingly enough, the scent of honeysuckle cannot be captured by distillation, nor can it be extracted with volatile solvents. I found a recipe for making honeysuckle fragrance from the flowers, but it cannot be kept very long, for it will not stay fresh.

Thus, the Eau de Parfum Chevrefeuille (Honeysuckle) is a purely imaginary reconstruction by the Perfumer where his know-how translates his perception of the flower's perfume, using various other essences in order to resemble, as closely as possible, the suave and heady perfume of the flower.

What notes are in LJR’s rendition of honeysuckle?

The head notes are enhanced with a fresh opening note of Italian Lemon and St. John's Wort from Paraguay, to develop into a fresh floral bouquet.

Does it smell like honeysuckle?

Yes, perfectly. I've never found a honeysuckle that I liked as well as this one.

It is interesting to me how the hint of lemon focuses the perfume's scent. While the lemon is brighter at the very beginning, you can still get hints of it at the end. That is the art of perfumery: knowing how to add a note to define another note. To have it develop or last to the end is an art all its own.

What does it remind me of?

There are a number of companies that make a honeysuckle fragrance.  But they have a sharpness to them that is not found here. This one is smoother and richer, almost like a parfum.

Who can wear this?

This is a woman’s fragrance. It's quite sophisticated for being a 'simple' floral.

Could you layer this?

Not unless you were trying to add some honeysuckle to or boost the honeysuckle in another fragrance.

I have heard that it is very good layered with LJR's Tubereuse. I will try it!

Edit: See my review of the layering here.

What is this fragrance like?

This is a lovely, rich honeysuckle.  It stays true to the real fragrance of the flower, from beginning to end.  It captures the spiciness of the real blossom.

What I like about it:

It is a true honeysuckle soliflore, but it is more interesting than most.

My take

If you are looking for a honeysuckle fragrance, this is one you should definitely try.

What do you think?

Have you tried any of his fragrances? (If not: Ask Le Jardin Retrouvé for Free Samples - All around the world.) Do you like honeysuckle fragrances? If you have, do you have a favorite? Learn more about Le Jardin Retrouve house and Yuri Gutsatz.

When it comes to perfume fragrances, how can you exemplify the scent of love? Is love a radiant and smiling scent, or is it smoldering as well as seductive? Is the scent of love intoxicating or ravishing? For Annick Goutal Perfume, the answer is clearly that the fragrance of love is intoxicating as well as ravishing, not unlike Guerlain Chamade. The Grand Amour Annick Goutal Perfume serves as a truly beautiful example of the fragrance of what love is all about. This wonderous fragrance offers a tender kiss of honeysuckle mingling with hyacinth which combines well with the warm kiss and embrace of vanilla twirling with amber. The Grand Amour Annick Goutal perfume maintains the exhilarating and breathless sensation of surrendering yourself to such a tender emotion that simply is no longner capable of being maintained.

The Grand Amour Annick Goutal perfume was created by a perfumer named Isabelle Doyen in conjunction with Annick Goutal in 1996. This fragrance exemplifies the unique voluptuous elegance that is shared by Passion, Songes and Heure Exquise. It offers a unique and delicate floral bouquet that sheds its individual lush layers one after another like rose petals before revealing a base that is soft as peach skin. Despite the richness and fullness of this fragrance, the composition is able to maintain a truly wonderful soaring effect without being too much like a bubbly young girl that's been conjured with the help of Quel Amour! Instead, Grand Amour is a woman that has beauty that is intriguing and complex.

The Grand Amour Annick Goutal perfume reclines on a balsamic sort of base of woody vanilla and amber, recalling the same elements of Chamade, however Chamade is better able to play up a radiant crispness of greens, and the sweetness behind the Grand Amour conveys something completely different in the form of a disarming sort of tenderness. In an unexpected sort of twist making this Annick Goutal perfume such a fantastic and fascinating fragrance, you will find a ribbon of myrrh resurfacing beneath the opulent floral bouquet. It offers a somber sort of incantation providing for a brilliant counterpoint against the headiness of the rest of the composition, suggesting that there is a layer of mystery embedded in every great love.

The Grand Amour Annick Goutal perfume features notes of lily of the valley, hyacinth, heather, honeysuckle, broom, jasmine, mimosa, basalms, vanilla, musk and amber. The Eau de Parfum version is generally preferred when it comes to Annick Goutal perfume because it offers a much rounder feel, and the Grand Amour fragrance is certainly no exception to this rule. You should have no trouble finding this fragrance in a number of high end retailers including Saks 5th Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, and it can also be obtained from the Annick Goutal perfume website as well.
