I just love this scent. Something many people don’t know about Annick Goutal fragrances is that many of them are unisex – this and Eau d’Sud being the two most obvious examples.  So I (being a man) don’t feel ashamed at all when I wear d’Hadrien.

Thing is, this fragrance has many things that most don’t. Originality, style, sensibility, charm, rather than just an avalanche of concocted chemicals to distort ones nostrils. (Although, one thing I really don’t understand is why on earth it is called “Eau d’Hadrien”. I mean, what’s it got to do with the “emotions evoked by the Emperor Hadrien”, as Annick Goutal put it so wonderfully themselves…)

This is a perfume made all about citrus. Annick Goutal claim that the main scent of the fragrance is “Sicilian Lemon”. What on earth the difference between “Sicilian Lemons” and “Lemons” is, I have absolutely no idea. But the fact remains, that lemons are delicious.

Ever tried a drink called “Limoncello”? It’s a liqueur from southern Italy, whose smell you would no doubt recognize. Well, the alcohol and the lemons in Eau d’Hadrien mirrors the ingredients of Limoncello.  Add a bit of bergamot, orange juice, and a teabag, and you have Eau d’Hadrien. Ok, sounds simple….well it is! (But you can’t just do it yourself though, obviously….)

Eau d’Hadrien is a happy fragrance. It will show people you are not a miserable moaner, but a happy individual who loves life. It’s an upbeat, colourful, and effective fragrance, well worth it’s price tag. And the only difference between the “pour homme” and “pour femme” versions, is the bottle! However, Goutal only make this in a Eau de Parfum concentration in the “pour femme” bottles. So Beware!

Overall, an excellent perfume, well worth trying. It is Annick Goutal’s trademark, and since 1981 has been a favourite of perfume lovers across the world.
