Le Chevrefeuille Annick Goutal for women

I think this one can suit a lot of people. Fresh flowers, happyness in a bottle, eventhough it does not last long

Finally, an AG scent that really resonates with me!

Like scentedrat, I pick up lots of citrus and green notes, no honeysuckle- but the scent is enchanting- the closest thing to the original green Clairol Herbalessence shampoo of the 70s!

This soft, refreshing scent would be just fantastic for hot, sultry summer days- but I like it now, too-

One thing that I've learned with AG- if I want to smell their scents for more than an hour, I have to shoot the wad and just use the entire 1 ml decant- otherwise, there's no point...

Hmmm, all I get from this is citrus and some green. Definitely bright and sparkling, and too sharp for me. Oddly enough, I don't smell honeysuckle at all. The honeysuckle in my garden is soft and very sweet. This is nothing like that at all. I get the furniture polish note, too. Based on all the lovely reviews, I was hoping to finally find a honeysuckle scent to love, but this one isn't going to give it to me.

Le Chevrefuille is such an optimistic country-y green scent makes me think of sunny spring. It starts with a bit freshly-cut grass nuance (I’ve never smelt real honeysuckle, so I guess it must be the honeysuckle accord). Then a discreet floral hint comes, somewhat really quite powdery-ish, like then one I find in Chanel No.19, but much less edgy or typical Chanel-y.

Later on, it stays quite linear, just a bit tamed and less sharp. To me, I can’t really smell much floral scent beside a faint narcissus hint, and it more smells of tomato leaves plus some fresh-cut stems.

The dry down is like really tamed narcissus in the air. It makes me think of the countryside and sunny afternoons when there’s a lot of green lush vegetation and people are chilled.

I do like this one and very glad to have it on my table.
At the start, Honeysuckle leads out for a short while ahead of Petit Grain with Lemon in third place. Narcissus and Jasmine? Just not there for me. After a stretch, Petit Grain and Lemon catch up to and take over Honeysuckle for the lead! And at the finish, it is a very dominant Petit Grain with Lemon close behind. Honeysuckle is a faint third. I.e.,sillage mostly of Petit Grain. On me, a dry, clean scent; astringent with flowers. Expensive and the bottle is very pretty.
There are some perfumes to wear for home and family. For me, this is one of those :)
An awesome summer fragrance!

It's early June in Pennsylvania and the air is filled with the into*icating sweetness of honeysuckle. This has inspired me to run home and sweep out my bottle of Le Chevrefeuille.

Having the natural scent in recent memory, it's easy to determine how this fragrance measures up to the real deal. Le Chevrefeuille is lovely and fresh, but not into*icating such as the woods are today. There is a strong tea-like note that accompanies and tempers the floral notes. After a while the tea recedes and the honeysuckle and jasmine join in a swirling pas de deu* for a few breathless moments until they e*it stage left, leaving only a faint remnant of tea behind.

This is the parfumer's fantasy of honeysuckle, not an appro*imation of the real flower. Lovely though it is, a stroll in the park it is not.

(*sorry about the key not working...)

Mmmmm!!

On me? Goes on GREEN at first: like crushed leaves or grass. This is the predominate note for a few minutes, until LEMON appears. Wait just a few more minutes and...

...there it is! The HONEYSUCKLE! Very delicate; not too sweet. I don't notice the jasmine or narcissus, but it could be because I haven't trained my nose to see past the honeysuckle.

I wish the green would linger a while longer. Still, it's a lovely scent; one I could see myself owning.

ahhhh, I found a perfume I can say that I really LOVE!!
It is oh-so fresh and sparkling, reminds me of childhood innocence, fields of wildflowers, and cosy hugs from mums and Aunties in the early 1970's....yep it takes me back. Purity at it's best. If you don't mind a short lived pleasure (lasts about 1 hour on my skin) then....DO Try it! (mind you at times it's not that easy to find!)

This is IMHO the best feminine summer scent. It is more fresh than green to me. Where a lot of flowers can be sweet and cloying,this is just that faint whiff of honeysuckle after a rain, A joy to wear and never too much.

Very simple and very lovely. Fantastic green flowers. The petit grain and honeysuckle combo, which dominates here, is just simply adorable. It's very feminine, crisp and refreshing. The honeysuckle by itself is very sweet, but the petit graind holds it back a little bit. The jasmin makes the fragrance very warm, so I think it should be suited for those spring days where there's sun, but the air is still a little bit cold.

Wonderful and romantic.

Just stunning!I want to bathe in it!

This is such an honest fragrance. It is all about the entire honeysuckle experience, including the vines upon which it grows.

Like a lot of AG fragrances, the 'green' here is leafy, brusque and realistic courtesy of the petit grain. Unlike Eau de Camille though, the honeysuckle and narcissus bring a moderate floral sweetness to the greenery. Upon drydown, the petit grain shines its citrus light though the foliage.

Also similarly to a lot of other Goutals this has a soft, warm aura which floats up to greet your nose as you wander here and there.

I don't really have an appetite for the scent of leaves so Le Chevrefeuille won't be blazing a path to my permanent perfume collection but I do admire its whole-of-plant philosophy.

It is feminine, fresh, airy, but toooooo green. Does not work on me at all. Pitty.

This is Annick Goutal doing what it does best- a sweet, airy, feminine floral with fresh green undertones which manage to smell natural. If you like AG perfumes you should like this..simple as that

I can not get enough of the narcissus in this one. I feel like Laura Ingels running down the hillside with wild flowers in my hair. It smells natural and clean, just the way you'd want to smell from time to time. It's a must in a perfumista's collection because there is nothing that can really compare.

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.

One of my mostloved scents. Hope it will never be discontinued as it has been released as a limited edition in 2002.

I especially love the tender honeysuckle note in this scent.

Highly recommended!

The honeysuckle is vivid and beautiful here...it reminds me how Annick Goutal always makes her scents close to nature. The honeysuckle is the strongest at first, and then shares the stage with the jasmine. The jasmine is faint in comparison, and I had to concentrate to find it..and I noticed I could find it separately and then at moments I could find it mixed with the honeysuckle. The lemon comes along shortly and is simultaneously tangy and sweet. The petit grain adds to the grassy green nuances, it also seems a bit dry. Once the lemon appears, it does not go away. It stays and overtakes the composition, the dissolving the honeysuckle and hiding the jasmine. The honeysuckle and jasmine last approximately one half hour, the shine and brightness of the scent wear away with it...a soft lemon, and a tender femininity last for perhaps another hour.

C'est magnifique! Not like a sickeningly sweet floral, just a lovely, fresh, feminine, delightful fragrance. When I want to sass it up, I layer it with a little Bandit (Robert Piguet) and they compliment one another well. By itself, Le Chevrefeuille has enough of a musky undertone, but not too overbearing for those who don't like anything too pungent.

Of the entire Annick Goutal line, I think this is my favorite! I love green notes and I think this is one of the best!

I agree with lovelylavender that it is sweet but not overly and it's a very simple scent and that makes it very special.

Unfortunately, the setback is it doesn't last very long!

This is a very beautiful creation which should serve as a model for all other honeysuckle fragrances. It is light and bright and accessible to everybody, even to very young people...
it does not last very long and should be sprayed on generously, since it is an "EAU", not a full perfume.
Delightful.

Once again I smell Kitchen cleaner. Must be something about Lemony scents reminds me of cleaning my Kitchen. Vodka smell is still there too. After that said, I do think the smell is nice and it does remind me of playing in the grass in the summer time and smelling the flowers.. Probably not something I would wear very often, and if I did it would be in the summer..

I really like this one. It reminds me the smell of grass and flower after the rain. However, it does not long last on me.

For me Le Chevrefeuille is the best honeysuckle fragrance ever. One of those things which gives you gooseflesh after you have experienced something really exciting :)))

It's a simply, one line perfume. Great for summer days, or when you want to be total feminime. The honeysuckle is sweet but not overly sweet.

If you like honeysuckle, try it. but if you looking for more complex scent, with a twist in the middle and base, forget it. Le Chevrefeuille is not the one.

It remind me of a young girl, walking in a floral print dress.
