Anna Sui Live Your Dream is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Live Your Dream opens with Water Lily, Floral Notes, Lily of the Valley, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Teak. Anna Sui's Live Your Dream carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral woody musk. Some find it a charming, peppery rose, while others are underwhelmed by its perceived generic nature and synthetic feel. It's a nice option for a younger crowd looking for an uncomplicated, pretty scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh and clean floral character, make it suitable for casual wear and the office. It's too subtle for formal events, and while fresh, it lacks the zing for sport.

About

Live Your Dream opens with a fresh, slightly spicy kick of white pepper and dewy water lily, creating an invigorating start. As it settles, a blend of delicate florals emerges, predominantly a soft, romantic rose, complemented by hints of jasmine. The dry down introduces a comforting woody base of cedar and sandalwood, softened by musky undertones and a touch of tonka bean, leaving a clean, warm, and subtly sweet trail.
