Our view
Le Temps des Rêves evokes a suspended moment, when the world slows down and thoughts drift away. For Annick Goutal, this reverie was born in Grasse, where she learned the language of raw materials. The freshness of neroli and bergamot recalls a Mediterranean morning, orange blossom absolute brings a honeyed softness, then milky notes draw a tender veil that sandalwood and white musks prolong.
When to wear it
All year round, by day. A soft, luminous orange blossom, as comforting as a childhood memory.

If you love Le Temps des Rêves…
Try Eau d’Hadrien, more citrus, or Diptyque’s Tam Dao for a soft, milky sandalwood.
