Annick Goutal will launch Les Absolus, a new luxury trio, in October. Vanille Charnelle, Ambre Sauvage and 1001 Ouds were developed by perfumer Isabelle Doyen.
Vanille Charnelle ~ a 'milk bath' / second skin fragrance, with vanilla, ylang ylang, pepper and tonka bean.
Ambre Sauvage ~ a classic amber with pink pepper, lavender, iris, vanilla, styrax and patchouli.
1001 Ouds ~ a modern oriental fantasy, with pepper, rose, papyrus, myrrh, guaiac wood and agarwood.
Annick Goutal Vanille Charnelle, Ambre Sauvage and 1001 Ouds will be available in 75 ml, €195 each.

Are there a thousand ouds out yet so that this can be the 1001? Vanilla Charnelle sounds like one I’d like to try
I was thinking it should have been 2786 Ouds, ha….
Hey, if you take the L’Occitane into account it would be 2787 😉
And by the time these launch in October…
That Vanille sounds divine, but I hope it’s horrible, because $$$.
The Vanille sounds vaguely like Vanille Exquise…which is only $$. 😉
I can’t believe I haven’t tried that one yet. I will!
They all sound lovely, those prices just keep going up!
Yep!
These do sound nice…no thanx on the price
Goutal enters the Middle East game a bit late, but better late than never I guess.. I’m pretty sure those not so original juices will find their audience. I bet they’ll be an exclusive to Harrods.
They did the Orientalistes in 2007. Those were a bargain by comparison, but all lines seem to have upped their prices considerably.
75ml for 195€? No thanks. So glad I have a lifetime supply of the previous Orientalistes.
For anyone interested in a comparison with the Orientalistes amber (Ambre Fetiche), this one (Ambre Savage) is much warmer and even a bit oud-ey. I liked it much better than Fetiche.
The Vanilla was pleasant but too sweet for me. ‘Second skin’ (in their description) is a bit too optimistic, I didn’t find it as sensual as that implies. I’d probably class it more as a safe and comforting gourmand.
