Fragrance story and mood 

 A trip to Tuscany with this fresh citrus scent... Fascinated by the reading of Hadrian's memoirs, a Mediterranean summer in Tuscany, Annick Goutal wanted to pay tribute to this famous novel in which the Roman emperor meditates, recalling his military triumphs, his love of poetry and music, and his philosophy. Iconic and timeless, l'eau d'Adrien is the house's first great success.

Here's the olfactory description of Eau d'Hadrien Eau de Parfum by Annick Goutal

Heart note: At the heart of the composition, Italian green mandarin and juniper berries add a herbaceous, spicy dimension. These notes complement the citrus, creating a subtle complexity at the heart of the fragrance.

Base note: The fragrance's base is characterized by cypress, ylang-ylang and musk. These notes add woody depth and a hint of suave floral, creating a lasting impression that persists throughout the fragrance's evolution.
