Dream No. 25

Happy to have an unpopular opinion here as this has become my signature lately. I agree that Margot Elena scents are hit or miss and I have been a fan for 10+ years, but to me this is a hit. I don't get baby powder (cloying), I get talcum powder. To me that's a huge difference. There is also a generous amount of dish soap or Castile soap. Having lived where lindens are common, it's a very nostalgic scent to me and I definitely get it here but I can't say I pick up on the other florals that much. And there is definitely an element of wood, or to be more specific, vanillin. To me it smells like a freshly scrubbed old house with wooden floors, with a linden blooming outside. An old lady scent to be sure, but in a good way (if you're an old lady like me!)

The negative reviews here make me sad. This is such a gorgeous scent. It's powdery, soapy, and delicately floral with a hint of honey. It immediately makes me feel calm, comfortable, and elegant. It's a breezy, wind-through-your hair and sun-on-your face scent. The powder isn't like baby powder. It's more like a perfumed powder. I smelled this is a shop and immediated had to get a small bottle because I loved it so much.

Like campfilo said, there's a strong baby powder smell. Mostly I smell florals, but not a very good floral unfortunately. Not my favorite.

Lollia seems to be very hit or miss for me. Unfortunately this one is a miss for me. It does smell similar to Lollia at last. I think At Last smells more like a thick luxurious powder or vintage cream. Dream smells more like a bathroom deodorizer with a johnson & johnson baby powder dry down. I hate the bathroom deodorizer part of dream but the dry down comes quick and is much more tolerable. Honestly I don't like Dream or At Last but I would pick At Last over Dream because I think Dream smells "cheaper". I don't like powdery perfume though so sampling these two was pretty rough! But yeah the notes are so deceiving on this one! The notes look so fresh and inviting. In reality it is super powdery and the floral notes come across smelling like bathroom deodorizer for about 10 minutes. Sorry :-/

By the time it dries the scent disappears. Beautiful bottle and lovely yet unimpressive scent but no staying power at all. I purchased the body oil and butter to layer in hopes of making the scent last and they have the same problem as well. Barely a whiff of fragrance before all you smell is the underlying product. I also purchased it as a bath salt and that has no scent at all once in the water. Majorly disappointing purchases. Might as well wear nothing at all

To me, this is a strange, spicy, vegetal baby powder. I usually like the scent of baby powder, but not this time. I don't claim to be any sort of perfume expert, but whatever note I'm perceiving as "spicy" in combination with the baby powder scent makes the perfume unpleasant and honestly off-putting. It's not the worst thing I've ever smelled, but I do find it to be gross, and I can't think of any reason I'd ever be tempted to wear it again.

A blind buy for me based on the notes and I can't smell a single one of them. I'm at a loss to describe it except to say it smells quite soapy to me. Soap and regret are the notes I get. At least the bottle is beautiful.

It's just baby powder and not a kind one either. This is evil baby powder, this is the powder for babies that throw up and cry just because they want to.

This smells overwhelming of baby powder. The Bergamot and Lime (Linden) Blossom notes are extremely faint and only apparent after 30 minutes or so.

All I smell is baby powder. Disappointing because I love honeysuckle and there’s nothing remotely like honeysuckle in this perfume in any way.

Smells exactly like a combination of generic baby powder and baby oil. It's very suffocating for a scent with so little complexity.

Smells like an especially harsh baby powder with some bitter greenness.

I like this a lot, it smells very clean. I do agree with some of the comments here there’s a baby powder quality to it, but to me it’s very soft. If you’ve ever been like me, searching for that “dove soap” smell, this is the closest I’ve come to that so far and for that I love it. It smells very fresh-out-the-shower on my skin. Also the staying power is out of this world on me. Smells like first spray hours later.

Have you ever smelled L'Occitane's "Milk" shea butter soaps, hand cream, body lotion, body wash? This fragrance is a dead ringer for it. The notes are supposedly white tea and honeysuckle, but what I get from this is creamy soap. UPDATED: Although this fragrance smells good at first when sprayed, it very quickly transitions to a "plasticky" sort of scent in the drydown. So, unfortunately, I cannot wear it.

This smells EXACTLY like Lollia At Last, which came out 4 years prior and is still being sold. Exactly like it. I smelled Dream and all I could think was "What in the world is going on here? Are they trying to pull a fast one??" And yes, Johnson's Baby powder. Because that's also what At Last smells like. It's a shame because the packaging is pretty but I just don't see this selling very well.

One of my favorite summer scents. Soft and fresh. Very light. Doesn’t last long and needs reapplied multiple times throughout the day, but lotion and bath bars are available to help increase longevity. A staple in my perfume collection.

Baby powder. Like other Lollia frags, I cant really smell any single note listed above, but true to the Lollia DNA, it is an easy reach.

Starts off with a fresh green stem frag., later on straight up Johnsons Baby powder, lingers for about 3 hours, then all gone.
