The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Des Lys by Goutal, launched in 2003, is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the elegance and refinement of French perfumery. This composition opens with a burst of freshness and green notes, complemented by white florals that add a delicate touch of sweetness. The heart introduces soft spicy and aromatic elements, creating a subtle tension against the floral and fruity accords. As it settles into a woody base, Des Lys retains an ozonic quality, reminiscent of the crispness found in the air after a light rain.

How to wear it

Apply Des Lys to pulse points for the best effect. The fresh and ozonic top notes will dissipate within an hour, so plan accordingly if you want to enjoy its full character throughout the day. It pairs well with light layers like cotton or linen, allowing it to stay close to your skin.
