Annick Goutal: The personalities behind the perfumes

Born in 1946, Annick Goutal’s childhood saw a passion for music, destined to become a pianist, alongside the expectation to become a model. However, with a curiosity for perfume, Annick journeyed to Grasse where she met a man that would change her fate forever and open her eyes to the world of perfumery. Becoming a perfumer in 1979, her talent, sensoriality and passion have produced sensational, successful scents.

Each of Goutal’s fragrances tells a story, from her first creation Eau d’Hadrien; inspired by the hills of Tuscany and the history of Emperor Hadrian, to Petit Cherie; a tribute to her daughter who she always taught the importance of following her dreams and having fun.

One collection in particular ‘Les Parfums de Geraldine’ is a favourite of ours here at Scentstore; each fragrance inspired by a part of Annick Goutal’s personality.

 

Nuit et Confidence

Nuit et Confidence is the interpretation of seducing the camera, an art that Geraldine, Annick’s alias, had mastered as a model with such magnetism. This fragrance captures Goutal’s playful and confident nature. Opening with aromatic Lavender, be led to a sensual, sweet heart of Vanilla and amber with a base of irresistible Musk.

Available in a 50ml & 100ml Eau de Parfum in-store and online.

Etoile d’Une Nuit

A personal favourite of mine, Etoile d’Une Nuit is inspired by the confident femininity and daring sophistication of Annick Goutal, a side not always shown in her day to day life. This fragrance is reminiscent of opening your favourite make-up powder. A blend of 3 main notes; powdery Iris, elegant Rose and fresh Raspberry.

Available in a 50ml & 100ml Eau de Parfum in-store and online.

Tenue de Soiree

Revealing the daring and mischievous character showcased when Geraldine entered a room, Tenue de Soiree plays with the timeless structure of perfume in an exciting and intoxicating way. Prominent in chic Iris, witness a fresh opening of pink pepper blend into a heart of powdery Iris and Rose before a base of warm, addictive Patchouli settles onto the skin.
