Am I dreaming right now?

One day I came home late from work....just before midnight.
Tired, exhausted and happy to have arrived home.

A parcel was delivered to me containing, among other things, The Dreamer Eau de Toilette.

A small, dark blue perfume box with stars on it...
Inside was a beautiful, small, transparent bottle that had a special effect on me...

3 sprays in the air... "very pleasant" I hear the voice in my head say...
3 sprays on the forearm...
A situation immediately plays out in my mind's eye...
Me and my best friend, sitting in his room playing Gameboy Advance...Friday evening, 1 hour before my dad picks me up.
Am I dreaming right now? Did I fall asleep for a moment? This memory...how incredibly realistic.
Very strange...

That very smell in the opening is what I think I know.
This particular spiciness at the beginning, which quickly becomes more floral, powdery, sweet and soft.
This calming and relaxed nature...

The small perfume box, which is somewhat old-fashioned and dreamy in design and also triggers a special feeling in me...
the bottle, which radiates something magical...
this fragrance profile and the realistic childhood memory...
me,just after midnight,half awake/half asleep sitting on my chair...
this name "The Dreamer"...
15€ for 50ml...
It all seemed very surreal...

I immediately fell in love with this perfume...
The whole presentation, in combination with this particular situation I found myself in when I tested the fragrance for the first time, was like a little movie.

I love wearing this fragrance.
It works best when the weather also seems a little strange...a little dull and gray, but not cold or warm...on a day when nothing is compelling.

A very peculiar perfume...
It almost seems as if the fragrance itself has a personality and a character of its own...

The fragrance has been on the market for so long and yet I became aware of it very late.
No one around me ever wore the fragrance...
no one who ever talked about this fragrance...
no marketing, no TV advertising...
nowhere on display in stores...
an absolute phantom...

Just the way it seemed to appear out of nowhere a few years ago was very strange.

Now it's in my collection and I have no intention of letting it go again...
