Annick Goutal is an Upscale Perfumery House created in 1981 by one woman with a remarkable destiny. It all began with the moving tale of a young lady rebelling against a seemingly inevitable career as a pianist. After many years studying music, she decided to embrace the opportunity to become a model, a path which aligned perfectly with her innate sense of refinement and genuine elegance. Some time later, a chance encounter with a perfumer from the French town of Grasse would drastically change her life: she discovered within herself a true talent for creating fragrances and embarked upon an artistic olfactory journey, culminating in her own success in creating a brand. In 1980, Annick Goutal opened a small boutique on Rue de Bellechasse, where she presented her creations to her growing clientele. After a few years, her perfume range had grown and she had built up a very faithful set of customers - people who knew and loved her fragrances and were delighted to have found a Goutal fragrance that suited their personality. Day by day, Annick Goutal's reputation grew by word of mouth, spread by her long-time customers and journalist friends who were utterly convinced of her talent.
