Goutal Paris: the final editions of a house now called Annick Goutal again
A house founded in 1981 by Annick Goutal
A pianist, then a model, who became a perfumer, Annick Goutal opened her first Paris boutique in 1981 and asserted an author's perfumery: emotion before marketing, a perfume whispered rather than proclaimed. Under the Goutal Paris name, the house continued that repertoire while extending it to candles, diffusers and scented care. Her full story is told on the Annick Goutal page.
Why are there two Goutal collections at Soleil d'Or?
It is one and the same house, under two successive names. Founded in 1981 as Annick Goutal, it was renamed Goutal Paris in the late 2010s by its previous owner Amorepacific, before being acquired by the French group Interparfums in March 2025 and recovering its original name. This page gathers the bottles and objects of the Goutal Paris era, offered while stocks last; the current references, in their ribbed bottles brought back into the light, are presented in the Annick Goutal collection.
Goutal Paris candles, gift sets and collector's pieces
This is what makes this page particular: everything the house created beyond perfume. The scented candles Une Forêt d'Or, Rêverie d'Oranger, Bois Cendrés and Une Maison de Campagne, the Une Forêt d'Or paper diffuser, the candle snuffer, the Crème Universelle and the hand balms. The gift sets pair a perfume with a candle and a balm, around Eau d'Hadrien or Petite Chérie. And above all, the Baccarat crystal collector's pieces: Eau d'Hadrien 1999, Eau d'Hadrien 2005, Songes and Les Nuits d'Hadrien — bottles found nowhere else.
The perfumes of the Goutal Paris era
The repertoire remains that of the house's great classics: Sables and its immortelle, Le Temps des Rêves, Le Chèvrefeuille, Folie d'un soir, Encens Flamboyant, Musc Nomade, Ambre Sauvage, Un Matin d'Orage and Rose Pompon. Eau d'Hadrien comes as an eau de toilette, as a feminine and a unisex eau de parfum, and even in an alcohol-free version.
How to choose among the final editions?
These references will not be restocked: they are the last examples of the Goutal Paris era. If you are after a particular bottle, it is best not to wait too long. To explore before choosing, our custom discovery box brings together five 2 mL samples hand-prepared from our catalogue. The candles and gift sets also make excellent presents.
Goutal Paris at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953
Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a niche perfumery reference; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold that standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). Our team has known these bottles for years and will tell you which ones are still available.
