Vent de Folie. Wave of madness. Do they mean impulsive? I don't find Vent de Folie either mad nor impulsive but she is a sunny character.
Most of the Annick Goutal scents that I've tried are on the lighter side of life, apart from standouts like the seductive Ce Soir Ou Jamais and the voluptuous Grand Amour, which are two of my favourites from this house.
Vent de Folie is a carefree sprite, a fresh and pretty fruity-floral on a background of clean musk, with a soft scent trail but a very good longevity, I got over 12 hours but only on clothes, on skin it disappeared after about two hours wear.
Anyway back to what it smells like, which is very appealing especially if you are into sheer, joyful beauties. I smell a basket of freshly picked, sweet and tart berries with a bunch of long stemmed pink roses on the bed of berries. It stays this way for a while, a happy-go-lucky scent before the berries and rosiness are joined by notes of white musk and powder, giving the impression of fluffy white clouds in a clear blue sky above a huge rambling garden bursting with blooms. I wore Vent de Folie to sleep and woke up to a lovely rose and woody musk, the fruit having vanished in the night.
An enjoyable experience, Vent de Folie is all joie de vivre and cannot fail to rub some happy dust on her wearer.
