    I thought something was wrong with my nose, or that I had picked up the wrong tester to try, but Songes smelled nothing like a floral. Instead, it smelled like Rice Krispie cereal. I went back to a...

    I just received this one as a gift. My goodness. The first whiff is so off putting I cannot believe I didn't jump into the shower to wash it off. It does dry down with vanilla coming thru until...

    It is very ladylake and dated, I would say. The first note, as many before have said, is almost agressive and very unfeminine (yes, a burned rubber tire), but I like it the most. The rest - well,...

    I will not write extensively about this fragrance because I have little to add to BerryDelicious' comments which are quite accurate and comprehensive. I agree that "dusky" is a good adjective for...

    The story of Songes, in six words: Tried. Huh? Rejected. Bought. Swapped. Encore. Because I expected a jasmine fragrance, and probably a vanillic fragrance beneath it, Songes was a...

    Songes reminds me of the scent of a florist's shop - in a good way. It is a heady floral that walks a nice line between the heavy, spicy scents of winter and the light, crisp & clean scents of...

    Sometimes something says to me that Songes is not total love for me, that it could possibly be too heady and powdery, but then I catch a wisp of it and ahhhhh, it is love, there is just something...

    My grandmother used this one particular soap - I can't remember the name and I've never seen it in stores here - that was a green box with a lady on the front, and the soap was oval, and a pale...

    I'm not crazy about florals, or vanillias, but I love this! There's something about the combination of plumeria/jasmine/vanilla that's just right for me. I'm quickly using up my sample. I seem...

    Reading the previous reviews I understand why I like Songes so much. It is a white flower scent for people like me whon usually can't stand white flowers. There is without a doubt a spicy and...

    Too powdery and old lady for me. I do smell the floral in it, but the powder just kills it for me.

    Too floral for my tastes. Something is missing from Songes. Or... maybe it's me. (This is the 3rd Annick Goutal scent I have tried that did not work well with my chemistry.) Oh well...

    I'm beginning to grasp the true essence of Songes. Well, I'm no longer impressed. There's a weird note that makes Songes almost unbearable. People mention "curry" and I can't agree, but I...

    Songes reminds me of Boudoir -- it's a powdery jasmine-inflected floral over, well, something that starts as The Dreaded B.O. Note then moves to cootchie. I have never tried out a cootchie perfume...

    Songes fools you with its opening into thinking it's a simple, bright floral, nothing more. It starts with a lovely, creamy frangipane that is pure and light, reminiscent of Chanticaille's lovely...

    Songes intoxicates with its lovely white blossoms: creamy, rich and lush. Notes of Frangipani, Absolute of Ylang-Ylang, Absolute of Jasmine and Absolute of Vanilla are marvelously blended...

    I am not sure if perhaps I was given an incorrectly labeled sample from Aedes, but *my* sample of Songes had the distinct impression of pepper and an almost cumin-like meat note that was so odd. I...

    I can see where the notes would lead one to believe this is a lush, tropical floral, and somewhere among the sour milk/vanilla/rubber notes, they might exist. However, not much good comes out when...

    Songes isn't quite what I was expecting it to be, but it's an interesting perfume nevertheless. I bought the EDP version (US$120 overseas) and the initial smell was very vanilla on my skin. It...
