About This Perfume
Ambre Fétiche by Goutal is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Ambre Fétiche was launched in 2007. Ambre Fétiche was created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Top notes are Amber, Incense, Labdanum, Vanilla and Styrax; middle notes are Benzoin and Iris; base notes are Leather, Vanilla, Patchouli and Geranium. The collection Les Orientaistes brings three oriental fragrances inspired by the 19th century painting that presents the beauty rithuals in harems. The oriental notes that Annick Goutal presents in this trio are amber, myrrh and frankincense. The first one is Ambre Fétiche (Oriental-Fetish), with the notes of amber, frankincense, labdanum, stirax, benzoin, iris absolute, vanilla and Russian leather. It comes as a three-bottles collection in a leather case, that hides the three fragrances – amber (Ambre Fetiche), frankincense (Encens Flamboyant), and myrrh (Myrrhe Ardente). Each bottle contains 50ml EDP and each of them will be available separately in 100ml bottles. The whole collection was created in cooperation between Camille Goutal and perfumer Isabelle Doyen, in 2007.
