Givrine E. Coudray 2004

Today I stumbled upon the fragrances of E. Coudray for the first time. I tested three, and all candidates won. The first place went to Givrine, because it was the freshest, and we are in summer. It is light, fresh, starts citrusy, then becomes floral - I primarily smell the lily of the valley, which is beautifully contained - and becomes woody in the base.
Givrine is a unique scent; I can't think of anything comparable.

Givrine is now a fragrance that I associate with a wonderful shopping experience. The rather elderly lady who sold me the fragrance had true joy in interacting with me, just as I did with her. She calmly explained a lot, let me sniff at my leisure, without ever appearing impatient in any way. Then she also said: "This is how you buy perfume! You take your time. Feel free to come back anytime, even if it's just to test!" I tested five fragrances and spent three hours in that little shop!
