Le Temps des Rêves
by Goutal
Le Temps des Rêves is a crystalline, highly refined white floral perfume that captures the essence of orange blossom, neroli, and bergamot in an unapologetically floral and airy composition. It opens with a sharp, bracing citrus green note from bergamot and myrtle, quickly softening into a creamy, luminous veil of white florals that feels ethereal and timeless. The scent unfolds with pure elegance—smooth, bright, and deeply natural—evoking lush meadows and sunny floral gardens. Sandalwood is present but subtle, providing just enough depth to prevent the fragrance from being overly linear. It lingers pleasantly throughout the day and leaves a moderate sillage on skin and clothing. While some find it emotionally restorative and deeply enjoyable, others perceive it as too concentrated and weighty on the florals, lacking balance or complexity beyond the core floral profile.
Pros
- +Exceptional realism in white floral accords—feels like a living bouquet of orange blossom and neroli
- +Elegant, subtle sillage and longevity that performs well across mild to warm weather
- +Boasts a sophisticated, naturalistic character with no synthetic or perfumey qualities
Cons
- −Overwhelmingly floral with little contrast—can feel monotonous to those seeking depth or intrigue
- −Too intense or mature for anyone seeking a lighter, more playful or playful floral
- −Not suitable for cold weather or night wear due to its airy, ethereal character
