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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dreams opens with a cheerful burst of candy apple and bergamot, brightened by a hint of star anise, immediately bringing to mind a festive caramel apple. This juicy, sweet start quickly melts into a creamy heart of lily of the valley, freesia, and honeysuckle, providing a delightful floral lift. The drydown reveals a comforting, rich base of warm vanilla, tonka bean, and sweet caramel, underpinned by a soft, subtle musk and patchouli that prevent it from becoming overly saccharine, leaving a cozy, addictive trail.
