Le Grand Jeu (Dolled up)
Le Grand Jeu literally big game, but really it means dolled up for some big date, event or adventure.
A beautiful white floral perfume sentered around gardenia and tuberose.
Somehow a porpular choice of the brides to be.
All Voyages Imaginaires perfumes are made with only natural ingredients and organic wheat alcohol.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The register is dressed-up intimacy rather than brisk formality: bare shoulders still warm from the sun, a change into evening clothes, conversation drawing closer. Creamy coconut and expansive white flowers give the scene a languid sweetness, with enough glamour to make getting ready feel like part of the occasion.
How to wear
Try a light application in warm weather, when the creamy white floral profile may feel fuller; one or two sprays is a sensible starting point. In cooler air, wear it on the neck or upper chest so body warmth can bring out its floral richness and coconut-vanilla softness. Adjust the dose before adding more.
Who it’s for
For lovers of voluptuous white florals who enjoy gardenia and tuberose softened by coconut and vanilla. It suits a taste for tropical glamour and creamy sweetness rather than sharp freshness, austere woods or dry floral minimalism.

The nose
Isabelle Doyen is credited as the perfumer, though composition credit is also shared with Camille Goutal in some listings. Doyen is closely associated with the Goutal house, where her work ranges from transparent botanical compositions to more unexpected, atmospheric fragrances. Her longstanding creative partnership with Camille continues at Voyages Imaginaires, here exploring a rich white floral character within an all-natural palette.
Collaborators
Camille Goutal helped shape the fragrance’s imaginative world through her memories of visiting French Polynesia, alongside Isabelle Doyen’s recollections of childhood in Tahiti. Their shared connection to tiare flowers and warm sandy beaches informed Le Grand Jeu’s tropical inspiration.
Voyages Imaginaires’s story
Voyages Imaginaires, founded by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal, treats perfume as travel through memory, childhood and imagined landscapes. The house works with an entirely natural palette and organic wheat alcohol, embracing those constraints as a creative discipline. Refillable bottles and reusable packaging extend its concern for materials beyond the formula.
Le Grand Jeu (Dolled up)’s concept
Le Grand Jeu draws on the founders’ personal connections to French Polynesia, particularly tiare flowers and warm sandy beaches. Gardenia, tuberose, coconut milk and vanilla translate that memory into a glamorous fantasy: sun-warmed skin giving way to an evening dress or tuxedo at a gambling table.
Extra info
Le Grand Jeu was one of the house’s five inaugural fragrances. “Dolled up” is an explanatory English rendering, not a separate edition. The bottle reveals a photograph through the glass on the reverse of its label, and the metallic cap’s design was inspired by a discovery in a DIY store’s plumbing section.
