New Annick Goutal Boutique 955 Madison Avenue
La Maison Annick Goutal unveiled their new boite on Madison Avenue June 9th. Sharing the Avenue with fragrant neighbors Le Labo,Jo Malone, Diptyque, Creed, Bond No.9 and Frederic Malle uptown is a destination for luxury and niche perfumes. On June 11th a private invite only press event was held to celebrate all things Annick Goutal. The day was steamy but our spirits were high.
Upon entering we were greeted warmly and presented a glass of libation of choice which was paired with delectable treats
Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen
Madame Camille Goutal and long time collaborator, master perfumer Isabelle Doyen were on hand to celebrate the boutique opening. They guided us on a journey through recent launches and previewed wonders for the fall.
Notes and scent blotters for L’Ile au The
The presentation started with the new citrus aromatic (mandarin, osmanthus and green tea) unisex release, L’Ile au The. The inspiration coming to them from a trip off the coast of South Korea to the island, Jeju. As Camille said, “one never knows where and when inspiration will lead to a new creation.”
L’Ile au The Fragrance and Candle
Madame Doyen spoke about fragrance as a journey of emotions. Fragrance blotters were passed around to sample. L’Ile au The is presented in both the women and men’s traditional bottles and candle format. A most splendid summer scent!

The anjou rose infused skincare collection, La Ligne Splendide (originally released in 2005) has been re introduced and re formulated ten years later.
