Summer is winding down, and I am giving all my favorite citrus fragrances a last hurrah before putting them away until deep winter, when they will move to the front of my cabinet again so that I can pretend it isn’t really freezing cold outside. Annick Goutal<\/a> Eau du Sud is one of my favorites (see my Top 10 of Summer<\/a> list). It was launched in 1996, and has notes of bergamot, mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon verbena, peppermint, basil, persian lime, and woods.<\/p>\n Eau du Sud<\/span> starts with strong citrus, heavy on the bergamot and grapefruit. There are light herbal undertones; the mint and basil are noticeable but subdued. As it dries down, it takes on a slight but distinct smoky note \u2014 tobacco leaf, maybe? \u2014 and farther on, there is a tinge of sweat hovering underneath the verbena and woods. The smoke and sweat are light enough that I find them distinctive rather than repulsive, but many find Sud too harsh, and although it is unisex, it leans more towards masculine than the other Annick Goutal unisex fragrances.<\/p>\n If it doesn’t suit you, you might try Eau d’Hadrien<\/span>, which I would guess outsells Sud by a mile. Hadrien was released in 1981 and has notes of lemon, grapefruit, citron and cypress. It is lighter, simpler, smoother and more cheerful. I love the mixture of citrus and cypress in the top notes, but most of the citrus disappears in short order, and the dry down doesn’t hold my interest. If I want lots of lemon, I’d rather wear yesterday’s Mediterraneo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eau du Sud and Eau d’Hadrien are each available in two bottles: the men’s, shown above, and a girlier women’s version. The juice is exactly the same, so buy whichever bottle you find most attractive. Eau du Sud is available as Eau de Toilette only; Eau d’Hadrien can be purchased in Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum concentrations.<\/p>\n Annick Goutal fragrances are available at major department stores and many online discounters.<\/p>\n A side note: if you have any recommendations for other fragrances with lots of cypress, please comment!<\/p>\n Update<\/span>: Eau d’Hadrien is widely reported to have been significantly reformulated in 2009. I have not tried the new version, and I have not heard anything about Sud but it seems likely to have been redone as well.<\/p>\n Read the rest of this article »<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer is winding down, and I am giving all my favorite citrus fragrances a last hurrah before putting them away until deep winter, when they will move to the front of my cabinet again so that I can pretend it isn’t really freezing cold outside.
