Loading... Please wait...A comforting, dreamy but sophisticated and complex blend of woods, florals, incense, and gourmand notes. To Dream features soft violet and rose with a base of heliotrope, tonka, amber, vanilla, frankincense, oakwood absolute, orris, cedar, sandalwood, and hints of cocoa, suede and moss. This scent uses French oakwood absolute produced from wine barrels made of Quercus robur wood. The absolute has a rich and warm woodsy aroma with some mossy, fruity, and sweet facets. It is quite different than either sandalwood or cedar and complements the soft florals, moss, and orris in the formula. The frankincense in To Dream is an essential oil rather than the CO2 used in Incense Pure; this EO is gentler and better suited to floral blends. Iris root, also called orris, is a fine perfumery ingredient that contains ionone-like substances called irones. The oil is extracted from the aged dried roots of Iris pallida and adds woody and powdery floral characteristics. Ionones give Viola odorata its characteristic violet scent.
Notes:
Violet, rose, heliotrope, cedar, amber, frankincense, oakwood absolute, vetiver, tonka, orris, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, subtle suede, cocoa, and aldehydes.

Tried this from a sample. It is very beautiful, rose/violet but I don't smell either of those, the mix is seamless. Drop dead gorgeous scent. Not too woody, not too floral, not too powdery, balanced delicately right in the middle of these. It's assertive, not gentle, despite the name but certainly dreamy and beautiful.
