What does Lucid Dream smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer barely chosen. It is favoured mostly for nights out and evenings. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads as truly in between. Khadlaj Oud Noir and Byredo Reine de Nuit have a close profile.

The opening is bright and fruity from citrus fruits and davana, with pink pepper adding spice. In the heart, osmanthus and rose bring a soft, sweet floral note. Frankincense and patchouli settle into a woody, earthy, slightly smoky base.
