A Tuscan Journey – Eau d’Hadrien
The Limited Edition Collection
For the perfumer Annick Goutal, many of her inspirations came from intense emotional moments she experienced in her favorite corner of the world, Tuscany. Eau d’Hadrien, one of her first creations, celebrated the passion and times of Roman Emperor, Hadrien.

Eau d’Hadrien – The most sought after Annick Goutal fragrance, is a subtle combination of bold citrus notes which evoke the heat of the Mediterranean sun and the coolness of the shade of a lemon tree.

Sicilian lemon, grapefruit, touches of citron, green mandarin and woody cypress.

The Inspiration: The Mandrake Plant
A wonderful and mysterious plant, the mandrake has inspired numerous legends. One such legend tells that its roots, pulled from the earth and warmed in the sun, gave birth to mankind itself.
In the Middle Ages, powdered mandrake was said to work as a love potion and aid fertility. In alchemists’ writings, it was known as an aphrodisiac with life-giving and pain-relieving properties.
Drawing inspiration from the darkest and deepest side of the mandrake plant, Camille and Isabelle created a spicy & bewitching fragrance.
The Ingredients
