The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2007, Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger is a floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Trudi Loren. The composition opens with the sweetness of peach and pink pepper before leading into the heart where freesia, tuberose, and lily create a lush bouquet. This florally rich core is softened by powdery and musky notes that merge seamlessly into a base of sandalwood and amber, giving it a warm, enveloping finish.

Dreaming has become known for its ability to blend sweetness with sophistication, making it a versatile choice for those who appreciate both the softness of white florals and the warmth of woody accords. It is a fragrance that effortlessly transitions from day to night.

How to wear it

Dreaming blooms best with two sprays. The top notes are delicate but vibrant, giving way to the floral heart after about half an hour. For a longer-lasting impression, reapply lightly at night when the base notes have fully settled in.
