a sparkling, lively something
With the fragrances of Annick Goutal there are obviously only two opinions: One likes them or one does not like them!
I like them, but I also know which fragrances from the large collection do not suit me at all: I leave them alone!
Or I discover them at a later date with great astonishment!
But then I have changed and not the fragrance!
"I've loved L'Île au Thé from the beginning. Maybe it is also because I like osmanthus tea very much. Because this is the main ingredient of this fragrance.
How many cups of this wonderful flavored green tea I have already enjoyed: a drink for lovers of the special.
This Annick Goutal fragrance opens pleasantly light with several citrusy notes and a hint of recognizable fresh ripe mandarin.
(Where mandarin for me yes always smells a little bit synthetic.)
Immediately thereafter, the fragrance peculiar to the osmanthus flowers develops, which white musk supports a bit. Without him, this fragrance composition would be too light, too bodiless.
But so it is surprisingly alive: tangy and sparkling like a glass of champagne!
Or two? Or even more?
"L'Île au Thé" lifts my spirits, makes me a bit addicted to "more"!
That certain lightness of being - no problem: here it is!
Especially in early spring, when there is still a winter inertia in me, this addition is very welcome.
Since also this, like many Annick Goutal fragrances does not last very long, it is a pleasure to treat yourself again and again a little "more".
The glass flacon, which is very sensual in its shape, invites me anyway to the constant touch.
How tempting it is then to spray also immediately a little "more" ...
"L'Île au The" is like a little Schwipserl - only without a hangover!
Promise!
