Reve d'Or

To preface; I'm into vodou. I am in the process of building relationships with the Lwa (spirits). In Vodou, this fragrance is used as an offering to Ezili Dantor, mother of the Haitian Revolution and fierce protector of women and children. She walks with me, and I love this fragrance. It's weirdly woody, in that it's woody and yet sweet and aldehydic. It also reminds me of musk, but not a Gucci Guilty musk, more like a Kyphi smell. I think women and gay men (like me) who have a level of feminine to them could pull this off. I think a muscular man could too, if he dressed in polos and shorts, jeans and jorts. Definitely could go well for a warm summer night or day, or a cold winter day or night. Spring as well. Sillage is pretty good, I prefer arm-length personally so I don't gas everyone in a room. Don't use too much though, especially in lotion form. Lasts regularly, would probably want to take it with you if you're wearing it out. Not really set for school, but if you style your uniform just right it might, but this is optimal for wearing out. L.T. Piver is possibly the most underrated fragrance house ever.

Golden dreams is such a misnomer, this is a plush, spicy red and pink fragrance full of beautiful, soapy carnation and rose, buoyed by sandalwood and fresh white powder. It smells like an expensive soap or a scented shaving cream, very chic, vaguely barbershop, surprisingly spicy, and can lean to either gender. I suppose the geranium, which can be spicy itself, combined with the rose creates the watercolor portrait of a fairly accurate carnation or pink. Very charming and suitable for a lot of wear. Moderate strength overall, it quickly moves like a popped soap bubble. I find the drydown very pretty, turning into a cozy skin scent. Great value for the low price.

I'm not surprised this is used in spiritual practices and cleansing ceremonies because there is something quite profound about this perfume. Close your eyes and feel yourself surrounded by polished wood and objects of faith. Piver scents are so underrated. Particularly this one and the gloriously cozy Heliotrope Blanc. Reve D'Or is very beautiful but I rarely wear it except when I need to ground myself and do a bit of pondering. Now to lower the tone...one squirt of this neutralises the most pungent and persistent cooking smells to make the room smell like an expensive country house.

Timeless and beautiful - this fragrance sings with heliotrope supported by the geranium providing a slight spicy warmth along with the vetiver and sandalwood. The orange blossom and rose float around on their fluffy cloud, weaving in and out of this very appropriately named Golden Dream. The 'lotion' is of EdT strength (at least my splash bottle) and has good sillage and longevity. Highly recommended if you like classic fragrances with a sense of mystery and reverie about them.

I like this vintage a lot for convincing geranium, cheerful (and smiling... I don't know why, but I feel it smiles) heliotrope in sandal's company, and with that nice smell light summer wind blows my way from time to time, the smell of Turkish delight lying riiight there. The Turkish delight is on a tray, and it smells of rose and orange blossom to me, with spicy, a bit sharp cloves in there, along with the rose-orangeblossomy smell, I enjoy that kind of cloves very much.

"The Reve D'or Lotion is used in Haitian Vodou to please the Petro and Kongo spirits, especially Ezili Dantor." I found this text on a website and I wasn't shocked because the smell of this perfume is very beautiful and relaxing to me. I just love it and started to stock som on my nightstand to enjoy looking at, as the bottle is an underestimated piece of art.

This does remind me of my favourite love, Bellodgia, if I really splash it on and wait for it to develop. It is weak, though. But so far, the best one from LT Piver for me.

Love this♥️It's fresh, sweet and soapy. For a cologne its quite strong. Longtivity and projection are above average. I enjoy the soapiness.

It would be nice to find a bath line from Reve Dor, I can imagine how the soap will smell, and the powder, mmmm

Is that just me who smells clove in it? I love this fragrance.

I loved wearing Dana Chantilly and Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps when I was in high school, back in the early 1980's, and LT Piver Reve d'Or provides a similar experience. Maxje said it so well just below: "this is a plush, spicy red and pink fragrance full of beautiful, soapy carnation and rose, buoyed by sandalwood and fresh white powder...." Since there's no carnation listed -- as she notes too -- it must be an effect of the geranium + rose; there's even a little bit of a clean, medicinal note underneath. This is a beautiful scent, if you love these warm, spicy, aldehydic, classic fragrances. But I think I may actually prefer the slightly later Pompeia over Reve d'Or, and I completely adore the sweet, almondy purity of the gorgeous Heliotrope Blanc. Overall, this is a brand to explore if you are into perfume history and enjoy vintage classics.

The top notes provide a very soapy and fresh introduction to this fragrance. At this point, I thought that it could be perfect for summer. However, as the fragrance progresses, the soapiness slowly disappears and a light spiciness comes into play, which makes me think that the fragrance would be too heavy for summer and more suitable for early fall days. When spending time outdoors, I can hardly smell the fragrance on me, so I prefer to wear it indoors. What fascinates me the most about this fragrance is that it was introduced in 1889, the year the Eiffel Tower opened, for example. Looking at pictures from this time, I imagine that some people, crowds and places probably smelled like this.

A fan of vintage, i just had to buy this, a new bottle for a really low price. At first sniff, yes it is soapy, with a lot of aldehydes, but thankfully the one i like best (MNA I believe), which to me has a pleasant church-incense vibe. Then fairly soon a lovely carnation note emerges, and again, it's another favorite note of mine. I do not detect any of the other listed notes, at least separately. So, basically church incense and carnation, and yes it lasts a good long time. Simple but very nice and definitely a vintage feel, in keeping with its origins.

woody (as other reviewers have stated), maybe a bit musky. feels like you're in the same room as a bouquet of flowers, but you won't smell like the flower itself. kind of smells like your grandma's old leather couch (in a nice way), a catholic church altar, and climbing a tree as a child. its existed forever, and its used alot in spiritual practices or just as cleansing cologne, and understandably so. if you're the type who loves modern perfumery though, she's probably not for you

This is such a calming scent for me. At first blast (I decanted it into a spray bottle) it's quite sharp and soapy, like something you might smell in a barbershop, but then it calms down into a cozy spiciness that maintains a clean and cool edge. The spray lasts nearly all day on my skin, much longer than dabs from the bottle, and it will stay on clothes for a day or two. Fantastic value.

This is soapy w/ lot of aldehydes in the beginning but I agree w/ the review that said church incense and carnations. This is heavy w/ carnation, surprised it isn't listed above. Very fresh spicy, kind of barber shop type vibe. Unisex but leaning masculine for me. I think my husband will get more use out of this than I will.

A very good perfume. Different from the synthetics and crowd pleasers from today. It's got the vintage powdery vibe but not in a cloying way. Makes me feel very clean, fresh and royal.

أصبح هذا العطر بالإضافة إلى عطر راماج من بورجيوس المشهور بعطر أبو طير جزء من التراث في الخليج، يذكرنا بجداتنا، وهذا ما يميزه فعلا

I bought quite cheaply all the old Piver's fragrances I could find, out of curiosity and also as an attempt to find good 'nostalgia' fragrances (i.e. recreations/reissues of old formulae). The bottle is charming and it does have a vintage feel to it, with an old fashioned plastic cap and simple packaging. It is called 'lotion' in French, which is sometimes interpreted as eau de cologne strength, but I think it is much stronger, definitely EDT. I am really struggling with the actual fragrance. I am not sure if i can say anything good about it, I'm afraid, except that it has an authentic old fashioned vibe, reminding me of strong, cheap and vulgar fragrances of yesteryears. Probably it doesn't help that it has a strong resemblance to bathroom cleaning products. It didn't cost much and the bottle looks good, so its function will be bathroom decoration :-)

If you're not a fan of vintage scents, I'm not sure how on earth you'd like this. I bought this because the bottle was pretty, I didn't really care about how it smelled. It's so strange... when I let it sit on my skin at first I hate it, it smells so offensive to my nose due to how sharp the opening is. Once an hour as passed however, it smells like an expensive soap and I really like it, but it sadly doesn't have the best longevity. It's alright but not something I usually go for, it's a bit too mature.
