Character and History of the Fragrance
Soivohle Somniabunt is a unisex fragrance by Soivohle, released in 2018.
This eau de toilette has a distinctive, very powerful sillage, making it especially appealing to those who appreciate noticeable fragrances and enjoy leaving behind a memorable scented trail.
The name Somniabunt seems to invite you on a journey between sleep and reality, while the combination of green, woody, spicy and floral facets reinforces this mood.
Soivohle takes an unconventional, emotional approach to perfumery.
The brand’s philosophy is based on the idea of “inspiring vibrations of healthy, loving energy”, and Somniabunt fits this positioning well: the fragrance does not try to be simple or predictable.
It is built on contrasts — fresh and warm, airy and dense, natural and sensual-floral.
Olfactive Profile and Development
By character, Somniabunt belongs to the fougère and green fragrance families.
The composition features cabreuva, linaloe, sandalwood, clary sage, seaweed, coriander and carrot seed, while pear, iris and ylang-ylang support its fruity-floral direction.
Tonka bean adds a gentle sweetness and roundness, bringing the spicy, woody and floral nuances together into a unified scent.
The fragrance pyramid is not divided into top, middle and base notes in the database, so it is more accurate to experience Somniabunt as a cohesive composition.
On the skin, it may unfold with a green, aromatic character, accompanied by the cool nuances of seaweed and sage, before revealing the spicy dryness of coriander and carrot seed.
Iris and ylang-ylang make the character more supple, while the woody accord of cabreuva, linaloe and sandalwood, together with tonka bean, creates a deep and long-lasting trail.
Who Is Somniabunt For?
Soivohle Somniabunt is presented as a unisex fragrance, and its gender versatility emerges precisely through the balance of its notes.
There is no obvious association with either a distinctly feminine or masculine scent: green freshness, spicy herbs, dry woody nuances and soft florality can reveal themselves differently on the skin.
It is a choice for those who prefer unusual fragrance profiles over standard sweet or fresh compositions.
Because of its very powerful sillage, the eau de toilette should be applied sparingly, especially indoors, on public transport and at work.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided, so it is sensible to start with one spray and add another if necessary after observing how the fragrance develops.
In cool air, its green-woody character may sound particularly expressive, while in warm weather it is better to use a small amount.
The Perfumer and Its Place in the Collection
The fragrance was created by perfumer Liz Zorn.
Her work with aromatic herbs, woody materials, iris, spices and marine nuances gives Somniabunt an intellectual, nature-inspired mood.
Rather than offering a straightforward pyramid, the fragrance presents a gradual interaction of accords, making it interesting to explore and discuss each time you encounter it.
There is no information about Somniabunt belonging to a separate collection, nor are there details about other concentrations of this release.
For further exploration, you might consider Kenzo Ca Sent Beau, as well as Jeanne Arthes Most Women and Thymes Clary Sage Tea.
They may appeal to lovers of green, floral, spicy or unusual woody nuances, although each fragrance has its own distinctive character.
