CE SOIR OU JAMAIS - EDP 100ML

Ce Soir ou Jamais - Eau de Parfum


From the dawn of 1984 until the year of her passing in 1999, Annick Goutal poured her heart and soul into the creation of "Ce Soir ou Jamais - Eau de Parfum". This fifteen-year period was not simply a time dedicated to creating a fragrance; it was a journey of love, a pilgrimage in search of the pure essence of beauty. Every moment of those years was imbued with an unwavering passion to capture the ineffable, to give olfactory form to the ideal of perfection that Goutal carried in her heart.


With more than 160 ingredients meticulously selected, Goutal sought to weave together notes that could embody the pinnacle of floral perfection. The rose, symbol of love and dedication, was at the center of this search, representing not only the object of Goutal's desire but also the metaphor of her own quest: elusive, complex, and profoundly beautiful.
Notes:
- Top Notes: Red Fruits, Spices
- Heart Notes: Various Rose Variations
- Base Notes: Musk, Amber


In "Ce Soir ou Jamais", the fifteen-year timeline becomes a powerful symbol of Goutal's commitment, a personal epic that defies time itself. The decision to release this fragrance in 1999, the year of her death, reveals a keen awareness of the ephemeral nature of life and beauty. The name "Tonight or Never" reflects this urgency, this awareness that the moment to share her love with the world had arrived, that it was time to let go of her creation, incomplete in the eyes of its creator but infinitely perfect in the eyes of the world.
"Ce Soir ou Jamais" is therefore much more than a perfume; it is a legacy of love, time, and passion. Annick Goutal, through this her ultimate work, invites us to recognize beauty in imperfection, to pursue our dreams with ardor, and to live every moment with the depth of one who knows that the art of life lies in the courage to express oneself completely and without reservation in the present, for tomorrow might be too late.
