Le Temps des Rêves

A soft Mediterranean orange blossom eau de toilette where sparkling neroli and bergamot meet a creamy floral heart and settle into milky sandalwood touched with bran. Gentle, luminous and quietly comforting, it wears like sun-warmed skin under orange trees.

Scent Development and Character

A luminous orange blossom composition that drapes bitter-orange groves in soft light. Neroli and bergamot give a bright, slightly green citrus opening over aromatic myrtle, leading into a creamy, petal-soft heart of orange blossom framed by gentle floral nuances. As it settles, milky sandalwood and a subtle bran accord lend a tender grainy warmth, turning the fragrance into a serene, Mediterranean-sunlit skin scent.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to everyday wear when you want a discreet but present floral aura: office, study days, relaxed weekends and quiet evenings. Its lightness and soft warmth make it ideal for mild to warm weather and indoor settings where an intimate, non-intrusive trail is preferred. Best suited to spring and early summer, with enough softness and warmth to work in mild autumn; less ideal for very cold or very hot extremes. Sillage is Soft to moderate projection, forming a discreet aura within arm’s length that stays relatively close to the wearer. Longevity is Moderate for an eau de toilette: typically around 4–6 hours on skin, with the orange blossom and soft woods lingering longest as a close veil.
