The 4 fundamental emotions
Happiness
The fundamental emotion of Goutal
"You should never forget that happiness is fragrance’s ultimate goal." Annick Goutal.
Deve godersi la vita – which means “you should enjoy life” in Italian, was like Annick Goutal’s mantra... When she founded her House in 1981, she created a bountiful world that was guided by pleasure. The pleasure of composing her perfumes with the heart. Of offering them in the most refined of bottles. Of creating “boudoir”-style decor for her boutiques that would become a Goutal trademark. Following an unforgettable happiness, during a vacation in Tuscany, Annick Goutal composed L'Eau d'Hadrien, her first success.

Freedom
A cherished independence
Annick Goutal chose to create in her own name to hold on to her free spirit. It was a requisite condition for her to follow her instincts and desires, without having to worry about trends or be limited by costs. That is how she gave birth to such extraordinary fragrances. Maison Goutal is a key player in the “niche perfume” market and remains as free as ever today. Camille Goutal, a photographer by trade, carries on her mother's legacy off the beaten track.
Ce Soir ou Jamais is one of the fruits of this independence. To compose it, Annick Goutal took every liberty: 15 years of work, and more than 160 ingredients in a formula of rare complexity.

Love
Nature, an endless source of inspiration
"All my perfumes came from an irresistible urge I felt when I was with my loved ones." Annick Goutal.
At Goutal, there can be no perfume without love. The House’s creators translate into scents the things that move them, be they moments, places and those dear to them. Annick Goutal drew on her loving relationship with her husband, Alain Meunier, to compose some of her greatest masterpieces such as Sables (1985) or Grand Amour (1997). Camille Goutal, who inherited her mother’s custom of making declarations in perfume, paid homage to her mother, who passed away in 1999, with Mon Parfum Chéri.

The Complicity
A legacy of femininity
From Annick Goutal to Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal, the Goutal's creators have passed down a singular vision of sweet, bountiful and poetic femininity to each other, like a torch. This is expressed in Goutal’s fragrances themselves, but also in the House’s aesthetic codes. The delicate visual world of Goutal is imbued with a typically French refinement that has set it apart from the rest of the contemporary perfume landscape for 40 years.
A delicious collaboration
Angelina and Goutal were destined to meet! The legendary tea house meets the Fragrance House who introduced the gourmand family to perfume. For Goutal's 40th anniversary, Angelina’s pastry chef Christophe Appert dreamt up an exclusive pastry in the shape of the iconic boule papillon. When you taste it, it reveals the notes of Petite Chérie-rose and pear, with dashes of vanilla and almond. A gourmet and refined composition, faithful to the spirit of this key Goutal fragrance.
