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.

Best For:
Casual

With moderate longevity, this perfume is generally considered light and clean enough for casual wear and the office, especially given its fresh and fruity floral character. However, its perceived 'heaviness' by some means it's not ideal for very formal events or sport.

About

Wishes & Dreams opens with a bright, juicy burst of pear and bergamot, lifted by the fresh, airy essence of freesia. As it settles, a floral heart of jasmine, violet, and osmanthus emerges, adding a touch of sophisticated sweetness. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace, underpinned by subtle woody notes and an elusive patchouli that occasionally peeks through.
