The story behind the bottle.
Day Dreams by Montale was launched in 2017 and crafted by Pierre Montale, capturing the essence of a gourmand floral with its distinctive blend of citrus and vanilla notes. The fragrance opens with mandarin orange and tiare flower, creating a bright and fresh top accord that transitions seamlessly into the heart's jasmine and neroli. The base notes of sandalwood, vanilla, and coconut provide warmth and depth, making this composition both inviting and complex.
Apply Day Dreams two to three times, as it blooms over time. The citrus notes are prominent at first but give way to the rich vanilla and sandalwood base after about an hour, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.
