Marissa Zappas Lilac Dream is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Marissa Zappas. Lilac Dream opens with Bergamot and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Neroli, Lilac, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean.

This isn't just a lilac scent; it's a 'cottagecore' dream in a bottle. Some find it a bit too green or simple, while others praise its comforting, nostalgic vibe. It's a divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.

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.

About

Lilac Dream opens with a soft, gentle whisper of bergamot and petitgrain, hinting at dewy greenery. Soon, a delicate, airy lilac takes centre stage, wrapped in the creamy warmth of neroli and the subtle refinement of ambrette. As it settles, a cosy base of vanilla, musk, and tonka bean emerges, creating a soft, dreamlike embrace that's both floral and comforting, like a childhood memory.
