Majda Bekkali Songe pour Elle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Dorothée Piot. Songe pour Elle opens with Caraway, Petitgrain, Neroli, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Leather. Majda Bekkali's Songe pour Elle carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a quiet, unique oriental floral that's a slow burn rather than love at first sniff. Give it time and it will reveal a subtle, stylish beauty, though it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 moderate projection and unique, subtle character make it highly suitable for casual wear and office environments, where it won't overwhelm. While it has a sophisticated warmth, it's perhaps too understated for grand formal occasions and certainly not for sport.

About

Songe pour Elle opens with an intriguing herbaceous kick from caraway and petitgrain, quickly joined by the green, slightly camphoraceous lift of elemi and a subtle hint of blackcurrant. As it settles, a clean white floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine emerges, softened by a balsamic warmth. The dry-down introduces an elegant woody foundation with papyrus and cedar, deepened by the earthy, musky nuances of labdanum, guaiac wood, and a whisper of incense, giving it an unexpected sophisticated edge.
