   |  Eau du Sud is a beautifully, truthfully rendered lemon-centered fragrance with a bracing herbal component that lifts it beyond the horde of limp, "fresh" scents that crowd the nasal passages these days. The heart accord is very well blended and not overly sweet. The only note that really sticks out to my nose is basil, which does send me some culinary signals. Not enough to make me want to chew on myself, however. Very pretty, clearly unisex, and extremely well executed. Not the kind of fragrance that I get excited about, but I do have to ackowledge its quality. As an aside, I find Eau du Sud far more interesting than Goutal's more popular (and overrated?) Eau d'Hadrien. 26 August 2009 |
  |  On paper, this smells like a very pleasant lemony neroli - quite delicious. On my skin, however, this very quickly changes into a very HARSH lemon fragrance, and stays that way for a good few hours. After that, it fades to a sweet, mild oakmoss-chypre base.Only moderate longevity, but quite good for a citrus. Sillage quite good, but suddenly soft once the lemon vanishes. I wish my skin chemistry didn't do what it does to this fragrance, but I'm giving this the benefit of the doubt, so try it on yourself first - it could be just the citrus you're looking for. 23 July 2009 |
 | I am in love with this scent! Start to finish though my only complaint with this is that it does not last past a couple of hours :( wish I could get it stronger. Still give this a thumbs up. 05 July 2009 |
 | The best of Annick Goutal's much-loved lemony scents. A bracing/refreshing lemon-verbena concoction spiced by mint and basil. Lemony and subtly edible, this scent is fantastic for spring/summer -- with noticeable sillage. If Eau d'Hadrien is light/fleeting, Eau du Sud by contrast is "dense". I have read the attribution to "salt" and this is perhaps correct. A classic -- a summery lemon scent slightly intrigued by darkness. Marvelous! 02 July 2009 |
  | Very nice herby-citrus as described, with a mossy base. Certainly green, but not really bracing or fresh despite its notes. I thought it was more "cool" and a little reserved, a green along the lines of Chanel No. 19. 15 June 2009 |
 | Citrusy and salty but a touch spicy with basil. Very refreshing verbena or peppermint note brings it all together. Fantastic to wear in spring. Very enjoyable. 10 May 2009 |
