The journey of Annick Goutal.
Opening chapter
nnick Goutal was a French perfumer whose artistic sensibilities led her to establish a distinguished fragrance house.
02 · Formation
Born in France in 1946, Annick Goutal initially distinguished herself in music and later as a model. Her pivotal introduction to the world of perfumery occurred during a modelling assignment in Grasse, inspiring her to undertake seven years of dedicated training with a master perfumer. This extensive apprenticeship culminated in 1977 with the opening of her inaugural Parisian boutique, featuring three original fragrances, including what would become her signature creation, 'Eau d'Hadrien'.
03 · Practice
By 1980, Goutal had formally established Annick Goutal Parfums, expanding its presence internationally while meticulously preserving the brand's exclusive appeal. She crafted 25 distinct fragrances before her passing in 1999, leaving a profound impact on the industry. Her daughter subsequently assumed stewardship of the house, ensuring the continuation of Goutal's unique creative spirit and refined aesthetic.
