Annick Goutal
The fragrance creations by the Maison Goutal are inspired by a clever blend of poetry and nature, botanicals and culture, harnessing their storytelling power to embody the vocation of "Conteur de Parfum". Eau d’Hadrien remains the perfect example, the flagship fragrance of the House that tells the story of the famous Tuscan hills and the tribulations of the namesake emperor, described by Marguerite Yourcenar in Memoirs of Hadrian.
The name of each Goutal fragrance sounds like the title of a novel, painting pictures that spark the imagination. Each fragrance tells a story that can be experienced on the skin and by the senses.
In an effort to offer the most authentic ingredients and the most environmentally friendly products, the Maison Goutal strives to adhere to green principles at every stage in the development process.
Going against popular marketing opinion, the fragrances are not coloured and the bottles have been refillable from the very beginning, while packaging is designed to use as little paper as possible. Ethics and awareness that Goutal places at the very heart of its creation.
