Fragrantica - "This is innocent childhood in a bottle, clean hair, freshly washed clothes, ripe fruit specifically peaches and pear, soft skin, being fussed over in a gentle way. There is something tender and innocent that is in a lot of Goutal fragrances. It is classy, elegant, and feminine."
Fragrantica - "oh this one is sooo lovely <3 i recently purchased leila lou from by / rosie jane, but i think this is much more delicate version of that perfume. it's far more airy, perhaps even unisex, and fresh. i think this might be a my dream spring fragrance, it's so inoffensive and chic!"
Fragrantica - "If A Goodnight Kiss is the scent of the mother I imagine, then Petite Chérie is the scent of the mother I remember. My memory of my mother’s smell has never been complete. It always appears in fragments—briefly, when I am close to her, carried lightly by the air. The pear note in Petite Chérie brings me back immediately to the moment she cuts fruit. A freshly peeled pear—watery, slightly green, with a soft sweetness. The smell is brief and light, but so real that it makes my heart soften. Then a hint of grass appears. In everyday life, that note feels like the scent she carries home from outside, like the faint smell of the market lingering on her clothes. She was never surrounded by flowers, but her presence existed in the quiet rhythms of daily life. The rose and lilac are very subtle here. They don’t feel like flowers arranged in a vase. Instead they resemble the traces left on her clothes—shampoo, skincare, the faint scent of a wardrobe. All of it blending together over time, gradually becoming her scent, the smell that stayed with me for so long."
Fragrantica - "This is probably not the most complex fragrance you'll ever smell, but nonetheless I find it beautiful in its simplicity. Fresh, bright, youthful, sparkly and sweet. Very inoffensive, suitable for school and workplace beacuse the sweetness isn't overbearing."
