Big Love for 'Grand Amour'.....

Now, I did say to myself when starting this blog I would not bore everyone with my frankly sickeningly lovey dovey, head over heels in loveness with my husband (to be), BUT......when said husband to be arrived home for the weekend he had in tow a little gift for me, As soon as I spied the bag I knew I was in for a treat for this exclusive perfumery is among one of my favourite things in the world (along with Cath Kidston, Cupcakes, Kittens and Christmas...oh and Starbucks)
Annick Goutal is a Parisian gem that has found its way across the channel and into the likes of Libertys and even has it's own boutiques in Belgium (Avenue Louise) and London  (Motcomb street in Belgravia and on Mount street..ooh la la indeed!) The brand also does a skincare and bath and body range...not something I've been lucky enough to try but as soon as I get my mitts on some I will most definitely be telling you what I think, If its anything like the fragrances then it will be all ticks and gold stars!!
 I have previously purchased 'Petite Cherie' from Annick Goutal...mainly for the utterly divine bottle it comes in, think frosted pale green glass with amazingly shiny gold lid (I do believe in a previous life I was a magpie) the bonus being that the fragrance was one of the nicest in the land- Fresh, Romantic and stays on for hours, Many compliments have been received when wearing 'Petite Cherie'...'Little darling' is the translation...And that indeed is exactly what it is!
 Ok....Slightly side tracked there...This blog post isn't about Petite Cherie...No, It's about the one and only 'Grand Amour' different in almost every way to the latter, Sensual,  Subtle, Warming and when you are wearing Grand Amour the world seems like a sexier place (zero harm in that!) ...the bottle is like something out of Disney's Snow White and the seven dwarfs and excitingly comes with an atomizer that makes you feel like a 1920's starlet when spritzing it the air and sashaying through...Yes, this perfume actually makes you do that!
 At £100 it is rather expensive...However, As the fragrance is so strong you only need the smallest of squirts and it does (like Petite Cherie) Last for hours, (Also the bottle won me over before I'd even sniffed it) Boys, listen up....this is the perfect gift for your girlfriend/wife/lover and will get you mahoosive brownie points if you present this treat from such an exclusive 'only those in the know' boutique...but take note...might be slightly weird for you to get for mum/sister or worse sister in law :s
I love love love it. What a lucky, lucky lady I am :)
