The journey: Somewhere Mediterranean...The dazzling sun at its zenith, an exhilarating warm, delicious wind sweeps over the south side of the Island…Air scorches the parasol pines, the wild fig trees, cracking twigs into a merry anarchy. Pine needles crush under bare feet releasing a sensual summer scent.
L'Echappee Sauvage is a creamy wild fig, splashed with the coolness of bergamot and lemon, warmed by the passion of cedar and gaiac woods, and tonka beans with their hint of almond.
Notes of wild pink pepper appear in its wake, making the getaway truly wild.
All Voyages Imaginaires formulas are created only with natural ingredients or from natural origin and wheat organic alcohol.

THE BRAND
Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen are long-time partners in perfumery passionate about using natural materials to create 100% all-natural perfumes in organic wheat alcohol. Their goal is to create unique and fine fragrances that sublimate the natural ingredients to abstraction. Their inspiration comes from real or imaginary voyages to lands of magnified ingredients, hidden memories, and dreamy destinations. They believe that the escape must feel complete and the scent should be bewitching for both women and men.
Isabelle Doyen is a professor at the ISIPCA (College of Perfume in Versailles) who has trained many perfumers, including Francis Kurkdjian and Mathilde Laurent. She worked with Annick Goutal for many years and never left her side. During this time, she also met Camille Goutal, whom she considers a niece. Isabelle describes herself as an "enthusiastic sponge" who draws inspiration from her love of reading, art exhibitions, conductors, dancers, and lyrics. Her creations include L'Antimatière and Turtle Vetiver for Les Nez, Nuit de Bakélite by Naomi Goodsir, and Ce Soir ou Jamais, which she co-designed with Annick Goutal.
Camille Goutal was a studio photographer before turning to perfumery. She has a very visual approach to the creation of perfumes and is the artistic director of Voyages Imaginaires. In the shared lab alongside Isabelle Doyen, she learned to be a "nose" and uses all her senses at once.
For Voyages Imaginaires, each creation is a tender-scent journey that is reminiscent of something familiar and, at the same time, takes us to a new, virginal land. It is a journey of discovery with a magnifying glass, a pilgrimage to a land of faded memories, or a hike through a dream landscape. The memories are clear, and the ideas are about to be born.
