by Goutal
Songes by Annick Goutal is a richly evocative, creamy white floral fragrance that feels like a dreamy tropical paradise captured in a bottle. It opens with a powerful, heady blast of frangipani, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, creating an exotic and voluptuous aura that dominates for the first few minutes. This is quickly tempered by a warm, sweet, and slightly animalic vanilla base that lends depth and sophistication. The fragrance gradually evolves, with the floral notes becoming more tender and the vanilla merging into a powdery, gauzy drydown, leaving a long-lasting, sensuous scent that feels both intimate and bold. While the initial strength may feel overwhelming for some, it mellows into a captivating, mature floral that feels romantic and timeless. It’s best worn on warm days, in evening settings, or when embracing a sense of luxurious femininity.
