Voyages Imaginaires
Voyage to the centre of creation, real or imaginary. Through the countryside of the soul. To the land of magnified ingredients.
Created in complete freedom, Voyages Imaginaires’ perfumes invite us to see new horizons and to re-enchant life with poetry, daring and whim. They offer us an immobile voyage through time and space, over past and future, into dream and reality, between body and soul. In this ultimate change of scenery, they dare us to pass through the looking glass and travel through our inner worlds: unconscious desires, the lost paradises of childhood, and rediscover the source of our inspiration.
All-Natural Philosophy
Evidently in an era where we must more than ever protect our environment, but even more so because Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen have always been unreasonably fond of natural materials. Offering the luxury of all natural, marvellous, raw materials sculpted without recourse to stalwart synthetics. A crazy magic trick. A wild challenge, met with exhilaration. To smell good, naturally.
Dare to go the distance, even if more costly, like a Haute Couture of Perfume, a complex route of reinventing creation using a restricted palette, shunning the ever-present molecules of modern perfumery.
A formula 100% natural in organic wheat alcohol.
Two-Legendary Names: Isabelle Doyen & Camille Goutal
As a professor at ISIPCA, Isabelle Doyen has trained lots of perfumers, including Francis Kurkdjian and Mathilde Laurent. An independent perfume designer, she worked with Annick Goutal from the age of 26 and never left her side. It was at this time that she met her daughter, Camille, who is “like a niece” to her. Isabelle describes herself as an “enthusiastic sponge”, drawing her inspiration from her love of reading, painting exhibitions, and offbeat tastes for a conductor, dancer, pianist and two lyrical singers whose performances she assiduously follows.
Camille Goutal was a decoration and studio photographer before turning her hand to perfume. She “uses all her senses at once”. She learned to become a nose alongside Isabelle Doyen, initially by weighing her formulas in their shared laboratory. She has a “very visual approach to creation” and has overseen the artistic direction of Voyages Imaginaires. All the photographs are hers.
