Douce Insomnie
6.6L'Atelier Parfum · 2021
Floral · Sweet · Synthetic
L'Atelier Parfum Douce Insomnie is a sweet unisex scent that opens on orange blossom and pink pepper, then sets a floral jasmine and heliotrope heart on a vanilla and woody base.
Orange blossom and pink pepper lead the opening, while jasmine, heliotrope and cappucino build a floral, creamy, gourmand softness in the heart. In the base, New Caledonian sandalwood, vanilla, iris and patchouli take over, and the scent turns sweeter and settles into a woody, lightly spicy warmth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is hardly chosen. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and voters read it as more feminine, though many also call it modern. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Lalique Satine (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
