No need to dream...
To Dream, what on earth can I say? Your complexity and unconventional nature has me both perplexed and captivated. There are many dynamic components and character to be found in this particular composition.
I expected a pretty violet fragrance, done to perfection, with subtle woody undertones and soapy, crisp powderiness. But this fragrance is not so straight-forward.
To Dream opens with a fizzy champagne accord, with a touch of fruity pear juice, not unlike Guerlain's Champs Elysees. On paper this opening is most prominent, however on my skin the scent gets straight-down to business, with unsweetened violet and woods.
The woods are quite resinous and bold at first, a tad medicinal, however the violet, rose and heliotrope smooth the scent into something deliciously dusty and sensual. The vanilla note is only slight, as the cedar, oak and suede notes tend to overpower.
It's a delightful fragrance, despite being quite reserved. The opening may be strong, but the drydown has a rather intimate projection. It could have lasted a little longer on my skin, but luckily that was my only objection to this fragrance.
Ambery and musky incense rounds off this fragrance in a polite yet attractive manner. There's a hint of oily buttery-ness throughout that also creates an interesting texture. Vetiver finishes To Dream with a dry and grassy feel which I think captured this unisex fragrance well. I highly recommend.
