Goutal Songes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Songes opens with Tiare Flower and Frangipani, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Goutal's Songes carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Divisive but captivating, Songes is a dreamlike tropical floral that doesn't shy away from its animalic edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for those it clicks with, it's a rich, sophisticated love affair.

Given its strong projection, substantial longevity, and rich, occasionally indolic floral profile, Songes leans more towards special occasions. It's too bold and diffusive for most office environments but perfectly suited for a romantic date or a sophisticated evening event. Its tropical nuances also make it suitable for warm weather casual wear, but only with a light hand.

About

Imagine stepping into a humid, moonlit garden filled with exotic blooms. Songes opens with a potent, almost rubbery burst of indolic jasmine and creamy ylang-ylang, a heady white floral symphony. This quickly softens into a lush, tropical heart of frangipani and tiare flower, reminiscent of sun-drenched skin and faraway islands. A rich, sweet vanilla underpins the composition, creating a warm, comforting sensuality, occasionally hinting at a subtle, spicy, almost animalic warmth that adds depth and intrigue. It dries down to a powdery, elegant floral vanilla.
