Songes

Description

A gentle jasmine opening, in which Sambac jasmine absolute is garbed in tiare flower and frangipani blossom. A balsamic-vanilla heart where French vanilla extra-absolute meets ylang-ylang absolute. From heady and sweet, the fragrance evolves towards a wood-and-amber trail.

At a glance

Nocturnal, spell-binding… Songes (“Dreams”), a voluptuous melody of white flowers and vanilla.

History

Nocturnal, dream-like… a sumptuous alchemy of absolutes. Songes, a magnificent floral, is true to the house of Annick Goutal’s tradition of grand, heady scents. Some 7 million Sambac jasmine blossoms are required to obtain a single kilo (2.2 pounds) of extract. That makes of Songes a rare perfume, a pure moment of extraordinarily sensual pleasure.
