A QUICKIE ABOUT ‘MY PERSONAL PERFUME’

Something which many of us don’t realize at all, it just how wonderful Annick Goutal is. It was in fact first introduced to the world nearly 30 years ago, in 1981. An age dominated by style, is was the perfect decade for perfumes as original and perfect as those of Annick Goutal’s to be born, and it still retains its distinctive classic French character to this day and age.

I was first introduced to Annick Goutal by my grandmother in 2000, when I received some for my 21st birthday. It was her personal favourite, my mother’s too, and it later grew to be mine as well. But one of the first things I learned about these expensive liquids was that one must not wear them on an everyday basis (unless one really can afford to). For me Eau de Camille (my favourite) has always been a perfume to be loved and treasured, and a perfume which is only to be worn on special occasions. (Eg. Don’t use it as a substitute for Frebreeze!)

The next thing I learned was just how much this magnificent perfume meant to my grandmother. She had tried her first sample when she was a woman of 60, and fell in love with it. It was also a wedding anniversary present given to her by my grandfather, giving it a huge semtimental value to her, as she lost him during the winter of 2001.  Now, if this perfume had such a direct link with my family, then I was going to feel it too. I loved my Grandfather, and the perfumes of Annick Goutal always makes me think of him, which I think is nice.

The final thing I learned (and this is the opinionated part) is that (for me) Annick Goutal Eau de Camille is simply the best perfume in existence.  I just love it: its distinctive and indescribable fragrance, its beautiful natural-looking colour. Everything about this perfume for me is just wonderful.

So there you have it: The Rolls-Royce of perfume, all summed up in a bottle. Hope you enjoyed this!

L’Oreal, the popular perfume manufacturer, has lost a case against Dubai Based firm Scion International, who markets the Scion’s Creation Lamis range.

The case was brought to court after L’Oreal claimed that Scion’s perfumes smell like L’Oreal’s products Tresor, Miracle and Noa, and retail for less than £5.

In ruling however, the judges said “It is not suggested that anyone ever thinks a ‘replica’ product of the kind with which we are concerned is the original.”

“Nor is it suggested that anyone thinks a replica is anything other than a cheap imitation of the original or is likely to be of the same quality as the original, even though it may smell somewhat the same.”

L’Oreal is now expected to take it’s case to the European Courts, after infringement of it’s trademarks when Scion market their products.
