The Story
Eau d'Hadrien is a legendary citrus cologne that defined the Goutal house. It opens with a burst of Sicilian lemon and grapefruit, then softens into a green, herbal heart of cypress and basil. The base is a clean, woody musk that keeps it grounded. This discontinued gem is a piece of perfume history, still sought after for its timeless, sunny character.
