The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Charlotte Tilbury, Scent of a Dream was created by perfumer François Robert as an ode to the luxurious and enchanting world that dreams can evoke. This chypre floral fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord featuring bergamot and lemon, which gives way to a heart filled with saffron and tuberose. The base notes of patchouli, incense, and amber create a warm, spicy embrace that feels like stepping into a cozy, intimate space.
Scent of a Dream projects strongly from its top notes, so one spray is enough. The base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, making it ideal for layering with other scents or wearing alone as the day progresses.
