Pleasant floral with pepper
I surprisingly like this fragrance despite the fact that Anna Sui doesn't always rock my boat. Live Your Dream is a pleasant rose fragrance with a peppery twist.
My favourite peppery-rose fragrance is Perles de Lalique, and although this fragrance shares similar accords, Live Your Dream is a touch sweeter and less earthy. The floral notes feel quite soapy and feminine on my skin, but I am very grateful to the cedar and pepper that gives this fragrance more dynamic.
I've worn this fragrance out on a few occasions, and have received many compliments. Live Your Dream really is quite a romantic and pretty scent. Like Michellehii (Fragrantica reviewer) mentioned, it's not an irritating fragrance at all, it's enough to make you smile, feeling refreshed.
At times I swear I can smell subtle hints of peony and lemon. In those regards, Live Your Dream smells a little bit like Gucci's Envy Me, just not as fruity and harsh. I am enjoying wearing this fragrance, however it's not something that I'm likely to re-purchase.
I think it could be worn all year to be honest, it doesn't scream out any particular season. The longevity is good, perhaps a little average, but lasting nonetheless. All in all, it's one of Anna Sui's more wearable offerings.
