Spring is in the air…and it if isn’t in your neck of the woods, spray some Annick Goutal Grand Amour.
Grand Amour opens with huge amounts of pollen from lilies mixed with delicate forest lilies like lily of the valley. All the flowers grow larger and “grander”, reminding me a bit of Guerlain Chamade. Spring hyacinths enter the mix. The dry-down of Grand Amour hangs on to the green rose and mixes it with sweet, powdery resins.
Notes listed include white lily, hyacinth, Turkish rose, honeysuckle, amber, vanilla, and myrhh. Launch date 1996.
Give Grand Amour a try if you like spring florals. Or perfumes like Guerlain Chamade, Tom Ford Private Blend Ombre de Hyacinth, Bond No. 9 NY Chelsea Flowers and/or Van Cleef & Arpels First EDP. Grand Amour is feminine.
Grand Amour has average projection and longevity.
The 1.7 EDP retails for $99 and the 3.3 oz. for $160. Grand Amour is available at Nordstom. And I see it at fragrancenet.com all the time on discount.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – Powdery spring floral. I really like it but I think I like Guerlain Chamade better; hence, I don’t own a bottle of Grand Amour.

Hey there,
Funnily I own Grand Amour and not Chamade. For exactly the same but opposite reason.
Thanks for the Link Love,

I may be telling myself that I like Chamade better because that is what I already own 😉 I’ll probably end up buying a decant of Grand Amour because I do like wearing it.
Sounds just like a perfect perfume for Spring! Love the bottle.
