Songes opens with a very indolic jasmine-strong white floral bouquet with tropical frangipani bringing a slight banana-esque quality to the scent, warm and sweet and creamy. The fragrance is so well-blended that the vanilla sneaks in gradually, making it seem like it had been there all along, and is a perfect match for the creamy white floral notes. While the above are the standout notes in Songes, there's also a noticeable bit of amber and a rather gamey-smelling sandalwood in the drydown which lasts several hours. Many hours later, nothing is left but a slightly powdery yet still creamy vanilla.
Luxurious and heady, Songes is perfect for a romantic summertime evening, when there's still a bit of heat in the air and on the skin....
