Goutal Eau d’Hadrien Eau de Toilette is a sunlit citrus portrait that feels like a stroll through Tuscan terraces, where sparkling lemon and radiant grapefruit glow against the shade of cypress and soft petals. The effect is bright yet serene, elegant yet easy, a silk shirt in warm weather that dries sheer on the skin and leaves a breezy memory of summer gardens, cool stone, and ripe citrus groves from morning errands to quiet evenings.

Story and Positioning
Born from Annick Goutal’s reading of Memoirs of Hadrian and her love for Italy, Eau d’Hadrien became the emblem of the House, celebrating ochre earth, warm sun, and cypress-lined vistas. If you enjoy refined citrus signatures, it sits gracefully alongside polished classics in the fresh citrus family and anchors a line that later welcomed Les Nuits d’Hadrien, Hadrien Absolu, and Bois d’Hadrien.
Bottle and Design
Presented in the Maison’s iconic round bottle shaped with sensual pleats for feminine references, or in a timeless round unisex version with a metallic anthracite cap. Iconic references are refillable in boutiques, and the bottle styling has been modernized while the fragrance remains faithful to its original idea, giving a refined hand feel and strong presence on the vanity.
