First Dream of the Year

by Aliénor Massenet

Floraïku First Dream of the Year is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Aliénor Massenet. The fragrance opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Iris.

Our verdict on First Dream of the Year: Favourite

A divisive scent, many find this orange blossom and grapefruit bomb beautiful and clean, but for a good number, it's just a soapy disappointment that's far too basic for its frankly absurd price tag.

About

First Dream of the Year opens with a sharp, zesty burst of grapefruit, bright and invigorating. This quickly gives way to a lush orange blossom heart, bringing a sweet, clean floral warmth. The iris note is subtle, providing a soft, powdery backdrop that rounds out the composition, aiming for a sophisticated, fresh laundry appeal. It's a citrus-white floral journey, with a whisper of elegance.
