Brand «Voyages Imaginaires»

A new French dream-team in the world of perfumery

The brand Voyages Imaginaires is a young but incredibly ambitious player on the niche perfumery scene, born in France in 2020. Its founder and creative inspiration is Camille Goutal, heiress to the legendary perfume house Annick Goutal. From the very beginning, the project was conceived as a creative dialogue between generations and arts. The brand's DNA is built on a unique concept: each composition is an olfactive (smell) journey, closely intertwined with a specific musical genre, melody, or even an entire era in music. These are not just perfumes, but true audio-aromatic essays, inviting the nose and ear on a joint adventure.

The creation story: where music and scent meet

The idea for Voyages Imaginaires was born from Camille Goutal's deep personal passion for music. She aimed to overcome the boundaries between senses and find a way to "sound" a fragrance. To bring this complex task to life, she is aided by the highly experienced perfumer Isabelle Doyen, who collaborated for many years with her mother, Annick Goutal. This tandem is the heart of the brand: Camille, as creative director, sets the musical theme and overall mood, and Isabelle, with her impeccable skill, transforms these abstract ideas into harmonious chords of notes. Their joint work is a synthesis of traditional perfumery art and a modern, bold approach.

Philosophy and style: fragrances as a soundtrack to life

The philosophy of Voyages Imaginaires lies in creating multifaceted unisex fragrances that, like good music, can evoke strong emotions and personal associations. The perfumery style of the brand can be described as refined, often unexpected, and free from gender stereotypes. Here, you won't find banal floral or woody compositions; instead, there are complex, often contrasting chords, where bitter tea can meet the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll, and the delicate orange blossom can meet hot sand. Each bottle is an invitation to embark on an "imaginary journey," where scent becomes a guide in memories and dreams.

An interesting fact: the fragrance creation process often starts with a playlist. Camille Goutal shares selected compositions with Isabelle Doyen, setting the rhythm, timbre, and emotional color of the future perfume. This method allows for achieving remarkable depth and integrity in the final product.

Iconic fragrances and bestsellers of Voyages Imaginaires

Although the brand is young, it already has its recognized hits, each telling its unique story. The undisputed bestseller and signature scent of the brand is the fragrance Tea & Rock‘n‘Roll. This bold, sugar-free composition, inspired by the energy of guitar riffs, challenges traditions by combining bitter notes of matcha tea and smoke with balsamic warmth.

Equally popular is the sunny Azahar, dedicated to the orange blossom and the sounds of flamenco. It captures the moment between the tenderness of a blooming tree and the passionate rhythm of dance. For lovers of classic elegance with a twist, Le Grand Jeu was created—a scent of intrigue with notes of iris, leather, and cardamom, reminiscent of the glamour of old casinos.

For those seeking a sensual and mysterious composition, it's worth paying attention to La Couleur De La Nuit, inspired by jazz ballads. And for a journey to a wild, untouched meadow, the bright and herbal L'Échappée Sauvage was created, sounding like optimistic indie-folk.
