Rose Pompon Eau de Toilette
by Goutal
Rose Pompon Eau de Toilette from Goutal offers a bright, youthful take on the rose theme, blending tart berry notes like black currant and raspberry with soft floral elements and a subtle woody-musky base. The initial burst is effervescent and fizzy, with green, citrusy sharpness from pink pepper and black currant, creating an uplifting, almost edible freshness. As it settles, the rose emerges more clearly—delicate and dewy rather than bold—while the raspberry and peony form a cheerful, sweet core. The drydown reveals a slightly musky, cedar-backed gauze of rose and berry, with a surprisingly long-lasting perfume that some find as juicy and pink grapefruit-like. Despite its delicate sillage and moderate longevity, this fragrance remains well-balanced and portable, perfect for warm weather and daytime wear. It's considered a garden-inspired, wearable rose with a modern, 'pink juice' aesthetic—easy on the skin, unintentionally intoxicating without being overwhelming.
