What does Dream Big for Men smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good by those who voted, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The fresh, sweet character makes it easy to wear day to day, and it is sold as a men's scent. It has been discontinued.

It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange giving citrus freshness. Cypress and orange blossom form the heart. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and praliné sweeten the scent and bring out its gourmand side. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (Eau de Parfum) and L'Artisan Parfumeur Tonka Blanc have a close profile.
