The Story

Launched in 2012 by Guerlain and crafted by Thierry Wasser, Songe d'un Bois d'Ete is a Woody Spicy fragrance that evokes the essence of an autumn twilight. The dry, spicy opening with saffron and cardamom creates an immediate sense of warmth and depth, while the jasmine heart adds a subtle touch of elegance. As it settles into its base notes of oud, myrrh, patchouli, and leathery undertones, Songe d'un Bois d'Ete transforms into a smoky, earthy embrace that feels both familiar and mysterious.

The story behind the bottle.

The last light of an autumn day, where the warm glow of sunset mixes with the crispness of falling leaves, creating a moment suspended between seasons.
