Eau d'Hadrien, Petite Chérie, Sables: these classics wrote the legend of Annick Goutal, a Parisian auteur house founded in 1981 and a pioneer of niche perfumery. Here you recognise the hand of Annick Goutal herself, the pianist turned perfumer who passed away in 1999, whose daughter Camille Goutal carries on her vision, for many years alongside Isabelle Doyen. Quite simply, the fragrances to start with.
The fragrances in the line
Eau d'Hadrien, lemon, cypress and bergamot under the Tuscan sun, a citrus masterpiece from 1981, continues in Eau d'Hadrien Mixte, a luminous variation on grapefruit and musk. Petite Chérie, a tender accord of pear, rose and vanilla, embodies softness; Sables, with immortelle, amber and sandalwood, remains one of the great amber woody fragrances of niche perfumery.
Les Incontournables at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953
Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down from generation to generation. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a reference in niche perfumery; today, his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold this standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). Our team introduces you to the whole Annick Goutal universe with expert advice and guided trials, and guides you with our guide to olfactory families.
