Goutal Le Temps des Rêves is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Julie Massé and Mathieu Nardin. Le Temps des Rêves opens with Myrtle, Bergamot, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Bran and Sandalwood. Goutal's Le Temps des Rêves carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Goutal scent is a beautifully blended, delicate neroli and orange blossom that's been polarising folks. Some call it an airy, creamy masterpiece, while others find it a bit too fleeting, soapy, or just not substantial enough. Definitely for the white floral lover who prefers understated elegance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its delicate sillage and fresh, clean profile make it an excellent choice for the office or casual wear where you don't want to overwhelm. While some find it long-lasting, the generally 'subtle' and 'close to the skin' performance means it won't project too much for formal events, and it's too refined for active sports.

About

Le Temps des Rêves opens with a bright, zesty burst of neroli and bergamot, underscored by the green freshness of myrtle. This quickly mellows into a heart of sweet, ethereal orange blossom, rounded out by a soft, undefined floral accord. The dry down introduces a creamy sandalwood and an intriguing, subtle bran note, giving it a unique, cozy finish that lingers close to the skin.
