Description
The freshness of eucalyptus and the floral notes with animalic facets of Osmanthus provoke a magnetic encounter with Australian sandalwood, opening us to the most beautiful olfactory dreams.
The Dreamtime designates the era preceding the creation of the Earth, a period when all was only spiritual and immaterial.
The aborigines use smoke emanations to communicate with this oneiric time.

Famille olfactive : Woody / Aromatic & Floral
L'évolution du parfum
Le Temps des Songes opens with an intensely pure aromatic breath, evoking the crisp air of the Australian bush. Eucalyptus and Tea Tree bring a camphoraceous freshness, while Blue Cypress already establishes a woody base. The heart then reveals itself, like a floral mirage in the middle of the desert. The fruity and complex notes of Boronia and Osmanthus create a sweet and surprising interlude. The trail is a return to earth, a deep meditation. Australian Sandalwood unfolds its creamy, milky and woody facets, leaving an imprint of remarkable serenity and longevity.
The ingredients that compose it
Eucalyptus (Australia) · Top note
The fresh breath of the Australian bush. Eucalyptus offers an aromatic, camphoraceous and cineole-rich freshness of incomparable power and clarity. It is a note that evokes the open air and blue-green leaves under the sun.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the vast eucalyptus plantations. The harvesting of leaves and branches is mechanized, then the plant material is steam distilled to extract the essential oil. It's a story of efficiency and control to achieve consistent quality.
History & Origins
Eucalyptus is the emblematic tree of Australia, where there are hundreds of species. Its blue-green leaves have been part of the life and rites of Aboriginal peoples for millennia, who know every species.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
An emblematic tree of the Australian bush, eucalyptus is now being explored by niche perfumery for its intense aromatic freshness and naturalness.
The Ingredient's Signature
A fresh, green shiver, like a frosted leaf crushed between the fingers: eucalyptus opens the air around you, camphoraceous, clear and very lively on the nose.
Impact
Supporting sustainable eucalyptus supply chains means valuing an iconic Australian resource in an environmentally responsible way.
The wind in the tall trees, a scent that takes hold, A limpid freshness, like a sky clearing. The breath of the earth, a song that blooms again, Wild Australia, an infinite treasure.
I chose a Radiata Eucalyptus essence, gentler and less aggressive than Globulus Eucalyptus. It has a more floral and less medicinal facet, making it easier to integrate into fine perfumery. Its role is to bring a powerful yet elegant aromatic freshness to the top notes.
Eucalyptus is the gateway to the Dreamtime. We wanted that feeling of fresh air, of pure and wild nature. It's a note that immediately evokes Australia and prepares for an introspective olfactory journey.

Blue Cypress (Australia) · Top note
A unique aromatic wood, with a complex fragrance. Blue Cypress offers a woody, fresh and resinous scent, with smoky facets and a surprising fruity sweetness. It's a note that brings woody elegance from the start.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the Northern Territory in Australia. The blue cypress trees are cultivated in neat rows. The wood and branches are harvested and then distilled to produce an essential oil of a magnificent blue colour, rich with all the aromas of the bush.
History & Origins
The Blue Cypress (Callitris intratropica) is a conifer native to northern Australia. Its wood, naturally termite-resistant, was used by Aboriginal people for building and in their rituals.
Yesterday's and Today's Uses
From construction timber to perfume ingredient, Blue Cypress is now cultivated in sustainable plantations for its essential oil, appreciated for its unique woody signature and bluish color.
The Ingredient's Signature
A fresh, resinous green, like the air of a tree-lined path: blue cypress brings the perfume a woody, clear and silent freshness.
Impact
Supporting this sector encourages sustainable forest management and a local economy based on renewable resources.
In the arid bush, a sky-blue tree, Offers its precious wood, a pure scent. Smoky, fruity, a reassuring note, The spirit of the Outback, a sure strength.
Blue Cypress is a fascinating raw material. It has the freshness of a coniferous wood, but with a fruity softness and roundness that makes it unique. I used it to create an aromatic top note that is not only camphoraceous, but also woody and textured.
Blue Cypress is the woody note that structures the opening of 'Le Temps des Songes'. It brings a woody and smoky facet from the first seconds, which interacts with the freshness of eucalyptus and heralds the depth of sandalwood in the base.

Tea Tree (Australia) · Top note
The tea tree is a concentrate of aromatic freshness. Its scent is powerful and camphoraceous, with green and earthy notes. It is a lively note that evokes wild, untouched nature.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the plains of New South Wales. Tea tree leaves are harvested and distilled on site to guarantee maximum freshness. It is a story of science and nature, seeking to capture the best of the plant's scent.
History & Origins
Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is native to Australia. Its leaves have been part of the daily life of the Bundjalung Aboriginal people for centuries. The name 'tea tree' was given by Captain Cook, whose crew used the leaves as a substitute for tea.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
Well known in natural cosmetics, tea tree is now being cautiously explored by perfumery for its unique aromatic freshness.
The Ingredient's Signature
A fresh, camphoraceous and lively green, like morning mist over a meadow: tea tree brings the opening a very pure aromatic clarity.
Impact
Supporting organic Tea Tree farming preserves the biodiversity of Australian ecosystems and ensures a pesticide-free product.
The leaf of the ancients, the strength of the earth, A lively, camphoraceous green, a clear freshness. Its scent is a wind, an austere light, The wild breath of a primal Australia.
Tea Tree is a very powerful note. It must be used sparingly so that it doesn't dominate. I integrated it for its camphoraceous freshness which creates a striking top note and for its earthy facet which already foreshadows the woody base of the fragrance.
Tea tree is the liveliest touch of our composition. It reinforces the freshness of eucalyptus and brings an aromatic, natural dimension that lies at the heart of the perfume's Aboriginal inspiration.
Information is given for guidance only. A fragrance is a cosmetic product. Tea Tree essential oil is very potent and must be used with caution, never undiluted on the skin.
Osmanthus (China) · Heart note
A flower with a fruity fragrance. Osmanthus is a small white flower that offers an extraordinarily complex scent, with floral, fruity notes of apricot and prune, and a leathery and animal facet. It is a rare and precious note, of sophisticated sensuality.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the Guilin region of China. In autumn, the osmanthus flowers bloom, perfuming the air. The flowers are harvested by hand, shaking the branches over sheets. They are then processed to extract the absolute.
History & Origins
Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans) is a shrub native to China, where it has been cultivated for over 2000 years. It is the symbol of Guilin city. Its flowers are used to scent tea, wine and pastries.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
From emblematic flower of Chinese culture, osmanthus has become a highly luxurious raw material in perfumery, used for its unique floral-fruity-leathery signature, particularly in floral and chypre compositions.
The Ingredient's Signature
A tea flower with glints of apricot and fine leather: osmanthus brings the heart a fruity, luminous and very elegant softness.
Impact
Supporting osmanthus cultivation means preserving a unique agricultural and cultural heritage.
In the gardens of Guilin, a discreet flower, Offers a fruity scent, a secret sweetness. Apricot and supple leather, a poet's soul, A rare sensuality, a complete beauty.
Osmanthus absolute is an incredibly rich raw material. I used its apricot facets to bring a fruity sweetness to the heart, and its leathery note to create a link with the woody base. It's a note that brings a lot of texture and a very chic signature.
Osmanthus is the fruity and leathery bright touch of 'Le Temps des Songes'. It's a flower that has the sweetness of a fruit and the depth of leather. It brings a sophistication and originality that blend wonderfully with the rarity of Boronia.

Boronia (Australia (Tasmania)) · Heart note
One of the rarest and most expensive treasures in the perfumer's palette. Boronia is a small pink flower from Australia with an extraordinarily complex fragrance: floral, fruity (raspberry, blackcurrant), green and with a tea facet. It is a note of absolute richness and originality.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to Tasmania, where Boronia fields colour the landscape. Harvest is a race against time, as the flowers must be processed very quickly after cutting to avoid losing their fragrance. It's a story of passion and high technology serving a wildflower.
History & Origins
Boronia megastigma is a shrub endemic to southwestern Australia, but it is primarily cultivated in Tasmania for perfumery. Its cultivation and extraction are extremely delicate, which explains its rarity and price.
Yesterday's and Today's Uses
Used in high-end perfumery since the beginning of the 20th century, Boronia remains a confidential raw material, reserved for the most prestigious creations for its unique olfactory signature and its prohibitive cost.
The Ingredient's Signature
A wild Australian flower, fruity and green at once, recalling apricot and tea: boronia brings an unexpected, almost sweet light to the heart of the perfume.
Impact
Supporting the Boronia sector means preserving a unique culture and fragile biodiversity, while supporting a high value-added local agricultural economy.
In the heart of Tasmania, a secret flower, Offers a fruity fragrance, a poet's soul. Raspberry and green tea, a complete scent, A treasure of nature, a perfect beauty.
Working with Boronia absolute is a rare privilege. It's a raw material that is a fragrance in itself. My work has been to highlight it, to chisel it with osmanthus to exalt its fruity facets, and to lay it on a bed of sandalwood that sublimates its richness.
Boronia is our best-kept secret. It's a raw material of extreme rarity and cost, but its fragrance is so unique that it was worth the investment. It brings to 'Le Temps des Songes' this inimitable floral-fruity facet, evocative of Australia's unique and precious flora.

Australian White Sandalwood (Australia) · Base note
The wood of serenity. Sandalwood offers a woody fragrance of unique softness and smoothness, with milky, creamy and comforting facets. It is an exceptional fixative that brings incomparable richness and roundness to a composition.
Origine & récolte
It's a story of rebirth. The journey takes us to Western Australia, where sandalwood plantations stretch across thousands of hectares. It takes 15 to 20 years for a tree to be ready for harvest. It's a long-term investment, proof that it's possible to reconcile luxury, ethics and sustainability.
History & Origins
Used for over 4000 years in India, Mysore sandalwood (*Santalum album*) has fallen victim to its own success. Overexploitation led to the development of sustainable farming practices in Australia, where the Indian species is now ethically and sustainably cultivated.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
From sacred wood for rituals in the Orient, sandalwood has become a luxury ingredient in the West. Today, thanks to sustainable supply chains, natural sandalwood is experiencing a true renaissance in perfumery.
The Ingredient's Signature
The velvety caress of a creamy, warm wood, like peach skin in the sun: sandalwood wraps the trail in a woody, milky and luminous softness.
Impact
Choosing this sandalwood is investing in a conservation model that ensures the long-term survival of the species for future generations and combats poaching and deforestation.
The heart of the old tree has kept the secret, Of a scent of silence, milky and discreet. No cry, no exuberance, just a perfect trail, That anchors the soul to the world, envelops and fulfils.
Australian-grown sandalwood *album* is a marvel. It possesses the creamy signature and richness of Mysore, but with remarkable cleanliness and consistency. I use it to create a comfortable and addictive base, a second skin that extends the sillage infinitely and elevates the aromatic and floral notes.
White Sandalwood is the foundation of 'Le Temps des Songes'. Faced with the Mysore sandalwood crisis, we made the ethical choice to turn to sustainable plantations of *Santalum album* in Australia. This responsibly grown sandalwood is incredibly pure. It brings that creamy, spiritual base that is the soul of the fragrance.

FAQ
Definitions of top, heart and base notes
Top notes: generally hesperidic (citrus) and aromatic families (e.g. orange, yuzu, eucalyptus). Their intensity is very high at 0 h and drops quickly after a few hours. This is the expected behaviour of these volatile notes, which define the first impression of the perfume.
Heart notes: generally floral, spicy or fruity families (e.g. fig leaf, cherry blossom, tuberose). Their intensity is moderate at first, peaks around 6 h, then gradually fades. They form the character and main theme of the perfume.
Base notes: generally woody, amber, leathery or chypre families (e.g. vetiver, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli). They start with a low intensity that increases and stabilises to become dominant after 12 h and 24 h. They form the sillage and ensure the perfume's longevity.
Our perfumers pair the most volatile raw materials with base or structural notes to improve their natural longevity.
Does the perfume change on my skin?
The notes of each Parfum du Voyage react differently on every skin, creating subtle or sometimes striking variations that reflect your individuality. When you wear one of our perfumes, you live a personal olfactory experience that no one else can copy.
Ingredients chosen one by one. Essential oils, absolutes, natural extracts: our perfumers in Grasse work with materials sourced at origin, from supply chains we know by name.
87% to 100% of natural origin. When a composition calls for it, a few high-quality synthetic molecules extend a note or sharpen its colour. They enhance nature, they never replace it.
A readable formula. The full ingredient list is on every product page: you know exactly what you wear.
One bottle for life. We are constantly working to reduce our impact: your 50 ml refills with our 100 ml and 200 ml refills. Keep the bottle, only buy the fragrance again.
What are the differences between a 100mL and a 200mL refill?
The main difference lies in their filling method and ease of use. Although both can refill your 50mL and 11mL bottles, they are designed differently:
- 100mL refill (with funnel) It is used with a supplied funnel for manual filling. You pour the perfume from the refill into your bottle yourself, which takes a careful hand. Ideal if you are comfortable pouring by hand.
- 200mL refill (with RT Twist tip) It has a built-in "RT Twist" tip that screws directly onto your bottle. Filling is automatic and overflow-proof: the perfume flows by itself once the refill is screwed on. It is the simplest and quickest solution, with no risk of spills.
In short, both sizes are economical and eco-friendly, but the 200mL refill is more comfortable to use thanks to its innovative filling system.
How do I refill the bottle with a 100mL refill?
To fill the 11 ml travel bottle or the 50 ml bottle with a 200 ml refill, follow these steps:

2. Screw the "funnel" tip of the refill onto the bottle to refill, clockwise.
3. Once screwed on tightly, the bottle fills by itself thanks to the air intake. If it does not fill immediately, shake the refill gently to help the perfume flow down. Wait until the bottle is full. When there are no more bubbles in the refill, filling is complete.
4. Unscrew the refill by its tip, holding it firmly.
5. Screw the pump back onto your bottle. You are ready to wear it.
Note: when handling the refill, take care not to unscrew the "funnel" tip from its 200 ml bottle.
