Lovely Dreamer

For the longest time I avoided smelling this scent whenever I went in BBW because I don't typically like musk, woods or iris. However, I decided to do a sniff exploration during a recent Buy 3, Get 3 Free and smell everything in the store that I've never smelled before and got around to Lovely Dreamer. Wow, was I in shock! This is really nice! Musky (but not dirty musk, clean musk), slightly woody (no pencil shavings here thank goodness), really beautiful Iris and a touch of sweetness from the bergamot make this one of those 'your skin, but better' types of scents. I got the whole set and each one smells really nice. Definitely a good bedtime type of fragrance and I can see this being nice for the office or any time you want a scent that is comforting, cozy and has a little zing to it from the bergamot. Nothing screams here, nothing stands out like a sore thumb and there is no chemical after smell. Really great job BBW! Now, I need this in a candle and my life will be complete! ;)

This is a beautiful powdery yet dewy iris! It’s so fresh, floral, and feminine. I mostly get the iris, the musk, woods, and just a touch of fresh bergamot that adds to its fresh, dewy feel :) so feminine and fresh! It reminds me vaguely of both Mar Jacobs Daisy Dream in the blue bottle, and Lake & Sky 11 11 Azure, both have dewy purple floral nuances as well as slight powdery-ness that I love. I do see why it’s compared to Glossier You because it has similar iris/violet notes and a similar level of musk and powdery-ness, but You is a lot more ambrox heavy and much more woody where as Lovely Dreamer is primarily airy florals, bergamot, and musk. Gorgeous scent overall! I’m so glad I grabbed this from B&BWs semiannual sale this year, I will definitely be wearing this through this winter and spring :)

Lovely Dreamer Body cream, is on first application, a bit plasticky smelling. After a minute or two, it calms into a fresh, light musky sweetish scent. The more I smelled it, the more it kept reminding me of Niki Minaj Pink Friday perfume. I really like this scent. It’s an everyday wear, soft and clean... your skin , but better smell. I’m tired of Bath and Bodywork’s very perfumey selections. Some are just too strong, or too powdery/perfumey. This review is on 2023 version. Note: This also smells so good with Tiffany Intense perfume! They both have notes of iris and vanilla. I hope they don’t discontinue this scent.

This is surprisingly indolic! If you hate white florals you may want to skip this, but lucky for me white florals are some of my favorite notes! Interesting that Fragrantica doesn’t have white iris listed as a note because it’s very different than purple iris or orris root. This is slightly sweet, musky, powdery, and indolic— a skin scent for sure with just a little extra sweetness. Doesn’t last long unless you layer the lotion and it’s about a good 4 hours on me.

This is one of the best B&BW scents to me. Absolutely amazing and comforting. This is a powdery and very slightly floral musk. While this is a perfect layering partner to Glossier You, I do not think they smell alike. I think Lovely Dreamer smells just like Lacoste Pour Femme, as they both have that soft and powdery feminine comforting scent, while Glossier You is more peppery and unisex.

Ok if you could smell clouds this is what they would smell like. Or... well, fluffy fantasy clouds. Te he This is just absolutely beautiful! Soft, delicate, a touch of powdery floral with a teensy bit of musk. Perfect! Love love love! Edit... I still absolutely love this in the little perfume spray. I'm longing for a much bigger bottle. EDP. That would make me so happy!!

December 2023 Lovely Dreamer has been re-released. I interpret it as a woodier muskier version of The discontinued BBW “Hello Beatitul.” Lovely Dreamer is a Beautiful cozy musk scent that is NOT gourmand. I like cozy scents without vanilla. I own the cream, the lotion, and the mist and am happy I do.

Oh my gosh! Im so glad i chose this scent over anything else for my free item. This has easily become my everyday scent. So fresh fresh and lightly sweet. It gives me a light violet petal vibe.The musk is so well done in this and not at all overbearing. This a perfect clean girl scent!!!

I prefer the original 2018 formulation of this fragrance way more than 2023 version. However, it’s a nice clean and fresh scent. I would go as far to say that this is one of my favorite bath and body works scent ever.

I bought this off Ebay for Christmas last year for my mom because it's her favorite scent out of everything she's ever owned. She was very happy. It smells incredibly pleasant and soft.

I really like this one. Its a little nostalgic of the perfumes that were trendy in 2000s. A powdery floral with a young vibe. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a popular office scent.

I really wish they still made this one. I actually ended up reselling my bottle and I regret it. It was a soft powdery but not too powdery scent.

I so love this scent!!!! Long lasting, powdery with an earthy scent. Just sad that they discontinued it :(

smells like sweet clouds. i love it

I bought this just yesterday because I knew my husband would love the scent. He’s a big fan of clean fragrances, and I am too! I wasn’t sure about this one out of the nozzle, but once it was on my skin, I caught myself enjoying every little whiff that I got as I moved around. There’s something reminiscent of Cacharel Noa here, another clean scent. I am actually very surprised not to see it on the “This Perfume Reminds Me Of...” list. I do smell You in this too though, so it makes sense.

I find this fragrance to be fairly safe! The powdery notes and bergamot come through very clearly, and settle to be a very fresh and floral fragrance. I wear this with Graphite (also by B&BW) as I prefer to combine my masc and fem fragrances quite frequently. Very notable, this scent *fills a room*. I exited my car to head into my job once, and a lady across the isle of the parking lot hollered at me to let me know how nice I smelled.

Oh wow, this scent is PRETTY! Soft, airy, and powdery - this fragrance mist is perfect for hot and humid days. It also has aloe vera extract to keep the skin from getting dry as compared to other perfumes. I do not get the resemblance to Prada Iris Infusion tho. I have both, but Prada is more soapy and dense to my nose, while B&BW is lighter and has much less of that really powdery iris punch.

I love this!! It’s a clean, floral, musky, slightly woody, iris fragrance and will layer so well with other scents in the same genre! Glad they brought this back, but still hoping that they will bring kaleidoscope back one day 😔

I got this after it was brought back briefly. It is worth grabbing when you have the chance. It is very dreamy and feminine. I wear it on dates with my husband. I would layer it with a musk lotion.

This is the scent of fluffy, clean, white clouds. It's a beautiful, ethereal clean musk. So fresh and pretty. They captured the scent in the packaging for this one.
