14Hour Dream… does that mean that the fragrance is a dream and lasts about 14 hours, or does it mean that you have a fourteen-hour dream? I’m leaning towards the former, but I wish I could have a fourteen-hour dream, who knows what I would dream about, or um… who I would dream about :D (not to mention that I would have to sleep that long, which is a challenge for me… I… who often can’t even sleep three or four hours straight…!).
As I mentioned, since I often sleep poorly or very little, it always seems to me as if I never dream, at least I only remember a few of my dreams.
And yes,… before you ask…. Yes, I have also dreamed about Batman a time or two. Either that I was Batman, or that I met Batman…
I probably shouldn’t share the following because it’s really weird, … but… I was even… a WOMAN in one of my dreams!!! A very good-looking one, too! A woman who could fly… I hope it’s just because I was really into the Supergirl series at that time and thought the Supergirl actress (Melissa Benoist) was totally WOW :D
But… that was so obvious. Out of fear and nervousness in real life, I hope to at least be surrounded by hot women in my dreams, and what happens? I dream that I am a woman myself… argh!
Well, let’s get to the fragrance:
The Fragrance:
The fragrance starts off heavily sweet with vanilla, which for a brief moment even has a chocolaty scent, perhaps due to the combination of vanilla and patchouli. In any case, iris (or in this case, iris butter) also mixes in, making the fragrance, which already begins quite powdery due to the vanilla, even softer and gentler.
A little later, I smell pepper. But for a fragrance that lists pepper absolute, I find the pepper not very strong, which I actually appreciate because it wouldn’t have fit with the gentle notes otherwise. As it is dosed here, it fits well with the rest.
The fragrance, with the spicy pepper and the sweet-gentle notes, reminds me of Christmas treats, for example, like peppernuts (well, sometimes there isn’t real pepper in them, but you know what I mean).
Woody notes come into the base, from which you can best smell the cedar. The pepper does become a bit stronger towards the end, but never to the point of being bothersome. In the later base, vanilla is the strongest note and smells, as often, sweet and powdery and just good.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The projection is good, which is to be expected from a sweet-spicy fragrance with wintery notes. It also leaves a small scent cloud behind.
The longevity is impressive with its nine or ten hours. I think the fragrance could last fourteen hours, but I’ve never sprayed it on for that long myself.
The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has an orange hue. It has an extremely thick base. Apparently, the bottles are inspired by jukebox music machines, which would also explain the disc-shaped cap that is meant to represent a vinyl record. The label also looks like the cover of an LP, from which a vinyl record is also protruding. An interesting idea and nice to look at.
Ah, the fragrance reminds me of Christmas time, which is somehow my favorite time, with all the atmosphere and everything, even if many say that these holidays have become extremely commercialized, well… I still like it. As always, I’m already looking forward to getting a Christmas tree again, as well as decorations, window snow, endless lights, and endless sweets… and let’s not forget Haydut, my cat, who gets to wear a Christmas hat all December long, if he allows me to put it on him, which can sometimes be a real battle, but he definitely has to lose that one :DD
14Hour Dream has become a very nice, soft, and sweet-spicy fragrance that can be worn well in winter. It probably won’t stand out at a Christmas market, but it’s still a lovely scent :)
Yes, I would give it a try.
* sigh * still so long until Christmas, and it’s only summer… some say about 5 months until then… others might say something like “only 3 more showers, and then it’s Christmas!” :DDD
So, let’s see if I dream about something today… something pretty… but I’ll probably dream about buying high heels or something for myself, argh! At least I was damn hot as a woman, yeah… oh man oh man…
