PowderyWhat does Scent of a Dream smell like?
The top notes of bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and peach give it a bright freshness, while saffron and black pepper add a spicy edge. In the heart, violet, jasmine and tuberose bring a soft floral feel, and patchouli and frankincense pull the scent toward a smoky, oriental tone. The base of ambroxan and ISO-E-Super closes it with a clean, synthetic finish. Chypre and powdery accents keep the sweetness in check. Its profile is close to Tiffany & Co. Tiffany for Men (Cologne) and Juliette Has A Gun Lady Vengeance.
