Perfect for Easter

Sweet candy lemon, honeysuckle, jasmine, and daffodil. Every note listed comes through brilliantly. The honeysuckle and jasmine here are bright and greenish rather than overpoweringly sweet, and the daffodil note is stunning. The lemon starts off sweet but eventually becomes a little sharp. I am very picky when it comes to florals, and I might not have sampled any purely floral fragrance on my own, but I received Le Chevrefeuille in a Goutal sample set, and I'm glad I did. This fragrance is so bright and joyful, a celebration of rebirth after a long cold winter.

Bitter, green honeysuckle

Le Chevrefeuille is an extremely green scent, almost bitter but lovely all the same.

For those who aren't usually wearers of green fragrances, this may take a while to get acquainted with. Le Chevrefeuille is actually quite delicate and fresh. The honeysuckle, jasmine and narcissus gives this scent an unusual femininity while the petit grain creates an interesting grassy and herbaceous finish.

The lemon is quite dominant alongside the honeysuckle, however this isn't sour citruses, it's more fresh and energizing, with a definite 'zing'.

Oddly enough this fragrance is not sweet. It's rich and quite brash. I disagree with those reviewers that call this a simplistic scent, I think there's a lot going on which makes it very complex for me.

All in all this is a very luscious and happy fragrance which would wear wonderfully in Spring and Summer. The lasting strength is so-so in my opinion, not terrible but certainly not as lasting as other Annick Goutal's that I've tried. If it's possible to get Le Chevrefeuille in eau de parfum concentration then disregard the price tag because that would be your best option.

Unexceptional honeysuckle

In my search for the ultimate Honeysuckle fragrance, I've come across Le Chevrefeuille's sample. I’m unhappy to report that my first few tries have ended in bitter disappointment. This is a very light fragrance predictably centered around the Honeysuckle note. It begins with nondescript citrus which then leads to a green Honeysuckle drydown. The fragrance lasted about an hour on my skin before it completely faded away. It had no sillage (I had to shove my nose into my arm to get a whiff right after first application) and the lasting power left much to be desired. To ensure that my chemistry wasn't playing tricks on me, I tried this in different seasonal temperatures, several times, and on paper as well. I keep getting the same result.

Now I may raise a few eye brows when I say this but... If you are looking for an affordable, simple, and yet realistic Honeysuckle fragrance, look into Victoria Secret’s Sexy Little Things / Heartbreaker. That composition is just as simple as this one – it actually follows a similar note pyramid – however, it’s light enough for warm temperatures with better staying power, balance, and a much more realistic rendition of the Honeysuckle note.

Spring in a bottle

Spring in a bottle! This perfumer is very skilled in recreating the fragrance of a single flower. The only other perfume I know that can reach this level is Synactif from Shiseido, which recreates roses in all their freshness. I would like to challenge Isabelle Doyen to create the same wonder for freesias, my favorite flower that unfortunately smells very artificial in perfumery. Le Chevrefeuille is wonderful and fresh and unfortunately much too expensive for how little it lasts... But! I'm so in love that I've already finished my third bottle, and it will always be part of my wardrobe. Usually after I buy a bottle, I let it macerate for about a year or so and only after that I use it. What I noticed with Le Chevrefeuille, and the same with other Goutal perfumes, is that they become more concentrated in this way, and then they also have a little more projection and longevity. If you apply them to your hair or clothes, then they last even longer. This perfume is mana for my soul and will always be part of my collection.

Primavara intr-o sticluta! Acest parfumier este foarte priceput in a recrea parfumul unei singure flori. Singurul alt parfum care il cunosc si care poate atinge nivelul acesta este Synactif de la Shiseido, care recreaza trandafiri in toata prospetimea lor. As dori sa o provoc pe doamna Doyen sa creeze aceeasi minune pentru frezii, floarea mea preferata care din pacate miroase foarte artificial in parfumerie. Le Chevrefeuille este minunat si proaspat si din pacate mult prea scump la cat de putin tine... Dar! Sint atat de enamorata ca am terminat deja a treia sticluta si intotdeauna va fi parte din garderoba mea. De obicei dupa ce cumpar o sticla, o las sa stea in dulap cam vreun an si ceva si doar dupa aceea o folosesc. Ce am observat cu Le Chevrefeuille si la fel si cu Quel Amour! este ca ele devin mai concentrate in felul asta, si atunci au si un pic mai multa proiectie si siaj. Daca indraznesti sa le aplici pe par sau haine, atunci tin si mai mult. Acest parfum este mana pentru sufletul meu, atat de mult il iubesc.

An overly realistic honeysuckle bath

Le chevrefeuille opens very green an citrus-y, with a sharpness that is unpleasant to me. It's definitely honeysuckle, but it is the whole plant, including a lot of vines and only a small proportion of flowers. There is some petitgrain and jasmine in the background. I blame the petitgrain for the sharp sourness.

It reminds me of the smell when cutting our honeysuckle plant in shape. I guess I'd smell like that if I subsequently took all the cut vines and bathed in them - occasional crushed insect included.

A bit too vine-like for me. I expected sweet honeysuckle flowers. This one is not that. Still deserves a good rating for how photorealistic the honeysuckle scent is.
