Dreams of Being a Good Girl, but Stands on Her Own

Miss Dream is a clone of Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Eau de Parfum. The art on the box for Miss Dream blatantly resembles the shoe bottle design of Good Girl.

----

I can sum up the smell of Miss Dream in one word: Bewitching.

The vanilla and tonka bean at the base blends the fruity and floral notes together to create a silky fragrance with a decisively feminine touch that is bold and confident.

However, if you like gourmands, you're probably upset that it is missing the coffee note that Good Girl has.

----

In terms of sillage and projection, Miss Dream is amazing. It reaches a level beyond what would expect from an affordable fragrance. Miss Dream is a definite head-turner; people will notice as you pass by. However, if you are too happy with the sprays, you can be smelled before you enter a room.

If you are looking for something that will project well from the morning commute to bedtime, Miss Dream is not the best option for you—the fragrance only lasts about six hours before fading away.

----

The major drawback for Miss Dream is that it lacks social versatility.

Because of the strong projection and sillage, this is not a good fit for the office.
In the summer heat or a warm climate, or during a long workout in the gym, Miss Dream can become outright obnoxious.

However, despite the lack of versatility, Miss Dream absolutely shines bright as an evening or date night fragrance, especially as the temperatures cool down and the night becomes more lively.

----

Overall, Miss Dream is an outstanding fragrance that less than $25.00. However, like it's inspiration Good Girl, it is also a highly situational scent that is not for everyone.

If you are a person who does not like to attract attention or wants a daily scent with versatility, you are better off skipping this dream, as it will leave you waking up with disappointment.

However, if you seek attention, or just want to make a bold statement during an evening out with friends, or on a date, Miss Dream is an absolute treasure at this price point.
