Several months ago, we fell in love with Annick Goutal Petite Cherie, a fruity-floral fragrance with notes of pear, peach, rose musk, cut grass and vanilla.

Annick Goutal created this fragrance in 1998 for her daughter Camille as she became a young woman. While this fragrance is meant for the young woman (been there, done that) it truly represents everything we love in a scent—light, sweet, cheerful.

On our skin, the initial pear scent dries quickly to a light, grassy-vanilla that lingers for hours. Petite Cherie ($95 for 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray) is a delightful daytime scent that we finally caved on and brought home with us from New York.

(Unfortunately for our pocketbook, Petite Cherie is not the only fragrance we came home with. More to come!)
