Floraïku First Dream of the Year is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Aliénor Massenet. First Dream of the Year opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Iris. Floraïku's First Dream of the Year carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

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.

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.

Its fresh, clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear and the office, especially given its moderate projection. While some find it elegant enough for dates, its perceived lack of uniqueness and high price often deter use for formal events.

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.
