Annick Goutal Eau du Ciel

this is a strangely lovely little scent. usually Annick Goutal scents morph badly on my skin, but for this one the common "rose lotion"y scent that i get out of the bottle morphs into something much nicer on the skin. Eau du Ciel is a very strong, green lime-and-iris blend on me, and while i still smell something akin to lanolin in the base, it's not unpleasant at all. it's a springtime scent - a thick floral sweetness underlined with the true muddy-wet smell of burgeoning plant matter coming up through loam. it's kids picking flowers for their mother on mother's day, then coming home covered in mud, smiling in delight as they hand over their wild bouquet. i really enjoy it.
