Fragrance history and ambience 

 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 company's first major success.

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

Heart note: Italian green mandarin and juniper berries at the heart of the composition add a herbaceous, spicy dimension. These elements intertwine with citrus to create a complex, rich olfactory core.

Base note: Cypress, ylang-ylang and musk in the base note bring a woody, floral depth to the fragrance. These elements add a touch of warmth that lingers delicately, creating a lasting impression.
