Eau de Charlotte

Type: fruity/ floral/sweet

Notes: Balck durrant buds, mimosa and cocoa in a vanilla base

Launched: 1982

Annick Goutal created this for her step daughter Charlotte. This fragrance reflected Charlotte's tastes and personality, one of which was black currant jam. This perfume reveals a spirited, twinkling, generous and romantic woman difficult to resist. 

Eau de Charlotte springs from the bottle in a wondrous mist of black current. Fruity, it caresses the nose and senses rapidly joined by mimosa. As this perfume develops further I can detect lily of the valley even though it is not listed as one of the notes. Onward it goes to the heart of cocoa and finally the vanilla base. 

For me this fragrance brings to mind a light, airy, delicate rose colored cashmere sweater worn over a white lacy blouse. This fragrance is masterfully blended and on me is long wearing, cozy and easy to wear.
