About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Songe d'un Bois d'Été is a 2012 unisex woody spicy fragrance from Guerlain. Its listed top notes—agarwood (oud), myrrh, saffron, bay leaf, cardamom, cedar, patchouli, and jasmine—are unusually dense for a top, but that is exactly what collectors should expect: a resinous, spiced opening that leans immediately into oud and myrrh rather than a bright citrus lift. The main accords confirm the character: warm spicy at 100%, followed by oud, woody, amber, fresh spicy, and aromatic facets. There is no separate heart or base listed, so the composition reads as a single sustained arc rather than a traditional three-stage pyramid. This suits collectors who want a dry, saffron-laced oud with bay and cardamom bite, not a sweet or floral oud. It wears well in cool weather and evening settings, and its unisex billing is accurate—neither conventionally masculine nor feminine. If you already enjoy resinous, spice-forward woods, this is a focused, no-filler addition to a serious wardrobe.
中文簡介
Songe d'un Bois d'Été 係 Guerlain 2012 年推出嘅中性木質辛辣香水。香調表將沉香、沒藥、番紅花、月桂葉、小荳蔻、雪松、廣藿香同茉莉全部列為前調,所以開場已經係濃密嘅樹脂同香料感,唔會有好明亮嘅柑橘前奏。主調以溫暖辛辣為主,配合沉香、木質、琥珀同清新辛辣嘅層次,整體係一條持續嘅沉香主線,而非傳統三段式結構。氣質乾燥、帶番紅花同月桂嘅銳利感,適合鍾意辛香沉香、唔愛甜味或花香沉香嘅收藏家。秋冬夜晚或正式場合最啱,中性定位準確,男女都用得。

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
