Episode 214 of Love At First Scent

This was a YouTube Live broadcast streamed on Wednesday 29th September 2021. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.

In this episode, I discussed the 40th anniversary of Goutal (formerly known as Annick Goutal) with a particular focus on the brand’s most famous scent, Eau D’Hadrien (1981).

Ninfeo Mio 7:46
Un Matin D'Orage 11:00

Here's the blotter update...

As you'd expect, most of Hadrien's impact comes in its opening. Indeed, it's a credit to the brand and the scent's creators that they haven't loaded it materials that make it last forever, as this would doubtless have diminished the force of that exuberant, lemony opening.
Ninfeo Mio is commendably green-woody-sappy all the way through to the end.
Un Matin D'Orage never quite presents the storm promised by the name: its woody-floral core tends towards quietness and restraint.

Thanks for watching.
