The quiet tension of a library where fresh paper meets aged leather, with the faintest hint of ripe fruit in the air.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Dmitry Bortnikoff launched Dream in 2023 as a bold statement within the niche perfumery landscape of Bortnikoff. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a fresh spicy accord that introduces unexpected depth, anchored by Mysore Sandalwood and Champaca. The heart of Pistachio and Black Currant adds a playful contrast to the rich vanilla and amber base notes, creating an intriguing interplay between warmth and brightness.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient — the fresh spicy notes are immediate but brief. The rich base notes will develop over time, so it’s best to let them unfold naturally without reapplying. This fragrance is ideal for a cozy evening rather than an afternoon outing.
