Annick Goutal returns to her roots: what this niche house is preparing in 2026 will surprise the faithful

On Wednesday July 8, 2026, the Interparfums group presented to the press the new face of Annick Goutal, a pioneering house of niche perfumery. After its acquisition in 2011 by Amorepacific Europe then the adoption of the simple name Goutal in 2018, the brand had gradually lost its uniqueness. The Parisian presentation opens a new chapter, with a clear promise: reconnecting with the original spirit.

Since mid-March 2025, the date of acquisition of the rights to Maison Goutal, and its integration into the portfolio in January 2026, Interparfums has placed this relaunch at the heart of its shift towards Haute Parfumerie.
