Quality control in perfumery: how fragrances are tested

It is part of the L'invitation au Voyage collection and expresses the character of the brand through a poetic, sensual and expressive composition.
This perfume belongs to the oriental and floral families, combining the richness of white flowers with a soft gourmand warmth.
Songes Eau de Parfum does not try to go unnoticed: its mood is sunny, exotic and slightly hypnotic, like an evening garden on an island where the air is filled with the scent of blossoms in full bloom.
Their approach brought together creamy florals, sunny exoticism and a soft, subtly sweet base, giving the fragrance a cohesive and rich impression.
At the heart of the composition are frangipani, jasmine and tiaré. These white-floral accords create the effect of a lush floral cloud: airy yet dense, delicate yet noticeable.
Vanilla adds a velvety quality, while ylang-ylang heightens the sensual, slightly sun-kissed nuance.
It opens noticeably around the wearer, making it especially well suited to those who enjoy expressive white-floral compositions and want their perfume to leave a lasting impression.
Songes Eau de Parfum is perfect for an evening out, a special occasion, a romantic date or a holiday in a warm climate.
In cool weather, its floral-oriental character becomes especially cosy and deep, while in summer it is best applied sparingly to preserve its beautiful effect without overwhelming the scent.
It is ideal for those looking for more than just a light everyday perfume: a distinctive signature with a strong character, gentle sweetness and a noticeable presence.
If you would like to compare it with other fragrances in a similar style, take a look at Montale Intense Tiare.
As an alternative, you could also consider Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines or Goutal Paris Songes — they offer a fresh perspective on the theme of white flowers, tiaré and sunny exoticism.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition features frangipani, jasmine, tiare, vanilla, and ylang-ylang.
Since the available data does not distinguish individual top, middle, and base notes, the fragrance is more accurately described as a cohesive white-floral scent.
Frangipani creates an exotic floral mood, while jasmine adds radiance and depth. Tiare enhances the creamy tropical accent, making the composition especially expressive.
Vanilla softens the floral bouquet with a velvety gourmand warmth, while ylang-ylang accentuates its sensual, exotic character.
As a result, Songes Eau de Parfum smells lush, sunny, and rich, combining floral, white-floral, and gourmand nuances.
