What does First Dream of the Year smell like?

It opens with orange, petitgrain and grapefruit, bright and slightly bitter. In the heart, orris, orange blossom and jasmine sambac bring a soft, powdery floral note, with green and spicy touches alongside. Woody notes, musk and amber settle underneath as a warm, clean base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Sold as unisex, it leans a little more feminine in voters' eyes. Bois 1920 Agrumi Amari di Sicilia and Monotheme Macchia Mediterranea have a close profile.
