What does Histoire d'un Rêve smell like?

The top holds bergamot, mandarin orange and cardamom; in the heart, iris, rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine and cinnamon join the floral core to a touch of spice. The base of patchouli, cedar, vanilla, ambergris and sandalwood settles it onto a warm, woody ground.

It is described as a women's fragrance. Both longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so this rests on a limited sample. Gianfranco Ferré GFF Donna and Mauboussin Mauboussin have a close profile.
