Dreams by Tabu

This was my "signature" scent back in high school and even now I still like it! I would say it leans towards a "watery" type scent - very fresh, light florals. It can turn too sweet if you really drown yourself in it but light application = nice daytime scent or a chill evening around the house. If you like light florals, it's definitely worth a try as I remember it not being all that expensive (probably what attracted me initially in high school lol). One downside I do remember is that I think it tends to wear off kind of quick, but for the price, it's not really that bad of a drawback!

I ordered this perfume after reading the reviews here, and I'm so glad I did! I would describe this as a very soft, fresh, absolutely beautiful, subtle floral scent with the tiniest hint of green. My nose mostly picks up the flower notes, and although I can't identify the flowers individually, as a group they are oh so lovely. I don't pick up any of the fruits or base notes listed. Other than the florals, I only pick up a slight hint of green and also a little warm sandalwood. Sadly, this is really a skin scent for me. I sprayed some on quite liberally a couple of hours ago and my husband who is sitting 2-3 feet from me never smelled a thing. Also, it really doesn't last long on my skin at all. (Sadness!) So, to enjoy this fragrance as much as possible, I keep the bottle handy for frequent reapplication. I just ordered another bottle because I must admit I'm already an addict! This would be a perfect perfume for a lazy day spent in sweats at home, for a casual outing with friends, would be appropriate for running errands or going to appointments, and is definitely non-offensive enough to be worn even in a very small, confined office environment. This is definitely a keeper!

I like how rich this one is and how it lasts a long time without overpowering the room. I definitely sense the vanilla listed in the verbal description, but I can't find where to vote on it. The top notes are very quiet even when first sprayed. After a few hours of wear, it's all sandalwood.

citrus-heavy in the top turns into a sweet floral with peony, freesia, some cassis and supporting notes of peach and sandalwood; this is a sweet floral but the fruits are not overt like today's fruity florals, this is a vintage floral with fruit notes

this starts with an odd dusty floral with a hint of black currant leaf, which adds a slightly tart freshness. after a bit i get a fair amount of sandalwood. the freesia gets stronger over time and something goes quite sour on me. maybe it's old and has turned. i am unsure, but it's really not working for me.

It smells nice, however unless your nose is against your skin, you can't smell it. If you like bold scents, you won't like this one. Will be great if you like barely there perfumes.

I dated a guy in 1995 who bought at least three bottles of this for me, he absolutely loved it when I wore it. As for how much he liked (it was not love, let's not delude ourselves!) me, perhaps notsomuch, we broke up a week into 1996! I miss having it in my collection despite my strong suspicions that it would bring up embarrassing memories I'd rather not revisit 20+ years later. What I do remember about this fragrance is that it never lasted very long after application and had a kind of metallic tinge to it after it dried on my skin. Yet, when I wore it, I did love it and despite the less than fond memories that are tied to it I am tempted to snag a bottle off Ebay to keep in my collection for weirdly nostalgic reasons.

This is one typical feminine fragrance. Very safe, long lasting and beautiful florals. I can't point one floral as being prominent here. To me, it gives the image of a very prim and proper lady who is loved by children, like teachers, nurse, librarians maybe. I couldn't detect the lime maybe because the florals are overpowering but the delicious blackberries do play hide and seek on my skin. I love wearing this to my workplace on the days that I don't have the drive to think about my perfumes and this is very uplifting and pleasing to the nose. Nothing exciting about the frag but you can't go wrong with this.

********** I guess this could be the "safer" Tabu - as the original will CLOBBER you with an old purse. I got a 1 oz. bottle for $5.00 Nice for a "drug store classic". Worth trying once. I think this is actually hard to find in stores now. The dry-down has a nice berry-powder thing going on.

I bought this with naturally vanilla by naturistics. Naturistics had dead notes ( heads up to future buyers). Tabu dreams smells ‘healthy’, no dead notes. Light, bright and floral. Can be a bit piercing close up. All in all, it has held up, and is an uplifting scent in my opinion.

Relaxed 90's floral-fruity-aquatic. Same family as Ocean Dream, Cool Water, Claire de Nilang. Nostalgic. My bottle has held up well (I got a two-pack for very little money on Ebay.) Nice!

Gap perfume cost too much, so this was the next best thing. I used to wear it in my discount Lerner New York Jeans and black scoop neck tee and second hand Doc Martens. Sigh.

This is a very nice, long lasting scent. I can only find this online so far. Worth getting. Nice bottle and scent.

If Gap Heaven and Exclamation had a baby this would be it. That is all.
