What does Dream (Elixir) smell like?

Mysore sandalwood and champaca open it, while blackcurrant absolute and pistachio bring a fruity, creamy softness to the heart. In the base, caraway, Malayan vanilla absolute and benzoin take over, and the scent settles into a spicy, powdery, slightly smoky sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, though the ratings rest on few votes. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and its gourmand, woody character suits cooler weather well. Hendley Perfumes Mown and Loewe Un Paseo por Madrid - Doré have a close profile.
