D’ORSAY Songe à La Douceur C.B. is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Karine Chevallier. Songe à La Douceur C.B. opens with Carrot Seeds, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. D’ORSAY's Songe à La Douceur C.B. carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a slow burn, but utterly rewarding. Don't let the initial quirks put you off; give it time, and you might just fall head over heels for its unique, seductive charm. A divisive opening, but a universally loved dry-down.

About

Songe à La Douceur C.B. by D’ORSAY opens with a surprisingly earthy and green pop of carrot seeds, brightened by a zesty, almost bitter grapefruit and bergamot. It quickly settles into a creamy, softly powdery heart of magnolia, lending a sophisticated floral touch. The dry-down is utterly captivating, merging clean musk with a subtle, grounded vetiver, creating an elegant, fresh, and slightly leathery-powdery finish.
