The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Dream Dusk by Estée Lauder is a floral fragrance that captures the ephemeral beauty of an early spring garden. Perfumer Jean-Marc Chaillan envisioned a lush Asian garden where cherry blossoms and black currant blooms fill the air with soft pink petals. The composition opens with the delicate scent of cherry blossom, leading into a heart of black currant blossom before settling on the herbal warmth of geranium. Dream Dusk is a proof of new beginnings, symbolizing hope and renewal.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance close to your skin for a more intimate experience. The cherry blossom top note is fleeting, so allow it to bloom for a few minutes before going about your day. It pairs well with light layers of clothing, allowing the scent to stay close to you throughout the day.
