Cozy Sunday vibes, I can use them more often in everyday life! A fragrance that is comforting, creamy, silky-sweet.
I remember when Corakirsch drew my attention to the fragrance release; somehow everyone seemed to be looking for THAT milky-creamy scent anyway, if they hadn't already discovered it for themselves in
Blanche Bête - Eau de Peau.
A week before Christmas, I was sitting at the hairdresser on a Saturday morning, the color had to set, and I ordered it blind!
How atypical for me, but you knew how quickly it would sell out again at Navitus.
Then it was a long wait.
I already have the "Venom of Love | Navitus Parfums" (a beautiful sweet oriental cherry for me) and recently the
Baklava Royale, which I expected NOTHING from and had the worst fears that it could be an oriental honeycracker, which thankfully didn't turn out to be the case.
So now the
Lost In A Dream arrived; here, too, I no longer had any expectations, as it had long since been torn to shreds at Fragrantica with the accusation that it smelled too much like
Milk, which I don't know, and where were the promised pastry notes???
About the fragrance:
The sweet mandarin evaporates very quickly and I then smell strongly
Replica - By the Fireplace without that blatant autumn smokiness, but I perceive cinnamon chestnut with marshmallow sweetness;
the bright spicy-sweet creaminess of
This Is Her!.
The fragrance consistency is more liquid like the Cleopatra bath from tetesept, but less sweet, but warmer and spicier due to the cinnamon.
I can guess what is meant by the croissant accord, but it lacks the crispy butteriness that characterizes this pastry; the café-croissant snack time vibes that many naturally expected (me too) are missing, because the scent is not gourmand for me. Perhaps it's more like a brioche bun dipped in latte, "pastry-like" without being really edible.
No one would sit next to you and say, "Oh, you smell like pastry and coffee!" Nevertheless, it develops sweet and creamy, but not really blatantly laconic, although the Cleopatra bath milk vibes go in that direction.
I find the
Blanche Bête - Eau de Peau to be similarly creamy, but I'm glad that the
Lost In A Dream does NOT have that harsh "dirty mustiness" and baby bottom vibe that I unfortunately noticed from time to time with the
Blanche Bête - Eau de Peau.
However, I can understand that many people are disappointed, as it is precisely these pictorial accords in fragrance pyramids that raise (false) expectations, such as croissant, ice cream, banana bread, almond cream, etc.
The environment doesn't really notice specific fragrance notes or fragrance accords anyway; often, when I wore something sweet, people around me commented on it with "Hmmm, vanilla!", although the fragrance might say chocolate, cotton candy, marshmallow or something similar.
For me, the fragrance didn't fail, although I was prepared for the worst. I liked
This Is Her! earlier and the
Replica - By the Fireplace was too smoky longer term for me, although it's well made, I like milk baths too :)
So I find it very comfortable to wear!
