Why It's Escentual:

Perfumers Julie Massé and Mathieu Nardin created Le Temps des Rêves to recall a cherished, pivotal chapter: the precise moment Annick Goutal allowed herself to dream of becoming a perfumer. Capturing the breathtaking landscapes of her early days in Grasse and the comforting aroma of orange blossom that defined them, this scent evokes a true vision of happiness.

Housed in the Maison's emblematic Art Deco-inspired gadroon bottle—a nod to Annick Goutal’s history as an antique dealer—it comes complete with their signature tied bow to symbolise generosity. The fragrance has a soft, romantic magic that feels perfect for quiet everyday moments, effortlessly shining in the warmer spring and summer months when its radiant floral warmth truly blooms.

The Best Way To Use It:

We also recommend the following perfume tips:

• Target areas where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, allowing the fragrance to emanate. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows.
• Resist the urge to rub your wrists together after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
• Hold the perfume bottle about 6–8 inches away from your skin when spraying. This ensures a more even distribution of the fragrance.
• Store your perfume in a cool, dark place, away from light and temperature fluctuations. This helps maintain the integrity of the fragrance.
• If your perfume fades throughout the day, consider reapplying to pulse points or areas where your skin is warm.
