One autumn day, Camille Goutal was strolling through a nighttime garden and was pleasantly enchanted by the twilight aroma emanating from the white frangipani flowers. The perfumer couldn't resist the intoxicating and enticing scent, so she captured this magical moment of a delightful night in a new fragrance named Songes.
This oriental floral composition invites you on a journey through the romantic, fairy-tale world of Mauritius with its magical sunsets and exotic gardens. In the luxurious perfumery bouquet, the opening notes reflect frangipani with tiare and jasmine, which then transition to the heart notes where frankincense with vanilla, copahu balm with pepper, and ylang-ylang emerge. The “base” is composed of vetiver, sandalwood, amber, and styrax, elegantly completing the composition.
Tenderness and enchantment permeate every facet of the exquisite and graceful bottle, which is adorned with a lightweight bow featuring numerous golden stars. This airy framing gives the classic design, inherent to Annick Goutal, a bright individuality.
I didn't buy it here; I made the purchase in a niche perfume store in Italy. However, this perfume impressed me so much that I had to come back for it. It's truly enchanting, feminine, and delicate. It has a harmonious blend of notes, nothing excessive. I've become so attached to it that it envelops me with its aura. The packaging is a bit outdated (I don't particularly like the bottle, it's very old-fashioned), but the perfume itself is very good and long-lasting. It has vintage undertones, but I can't really feel them on myself. I mostly notice the gentle and creamy notes, as if it's some luxurious body care product.
Wow! I'm delighted! The fragrance is incredibly vibrant, feminine, and unforgettable. The trail it leaves behind is out of this world!
I didn't buy it at the Makeup store, but these perfumes are luxurious and incredibly long-lasting. They have a powerful tuberose scent with hints of tiare and sun. It's a dense and intense fragrance. In this case, even a tiny spritz on the back of your neck can last for a very long time and stay strong for two days. My bottle has the older design with a ribbon and a podium-like box. I'm very satisfied!
At first, I didn't really like the scent. However, I realized that it's not worth jumping to hasty conclusions based on the initial notes, it's better to wait... and the unfolding of the fragrance enchanted me. Frankincense with vanilla and something that seems honey-like. Although, I would have liked it to last a bit longer...)))
