Dreams

As soon as I saw the notes list and read the reviews I knew that I want Mariah Carey dreams.as usual when I want something so badly it's nowhere to be find here,so I ordered a set of 50mil perfume and 100mil bodylotion from usa Last night that I received it,I was surprised to see how pretty the bottle is.it's golden juice shines in it's pretty glass like a magical potion.but its scent totally dissapointed me.all I could smell was red apple and not a delicious,juicy or crisp apple.almond and staranis gave a dry,powdery quality to scent,so I could smell dry red apples,tonka and a hint of florals I decided to give it another chance after shower,so first I applied it's body lovely which as very pretty and soft golden shimmers and then I sprayed it.first it was just apple and a blast of dry powders but I could feel a sweet,warm whisper of caramel and vanilla showing up.after couple of minutes it dries down to this yummy,buttery caramel,vanilla/tonka,apple confection with a hint of soft,velvety powders.so tastey,feminine and inviting.apple provides a fresh,airy quality that prevents caramel from becoming cloyingly sweet and powders prevent it from becoming foody and sticky I find dream a mature gourmand,it's not a childish caramelized candy I love it and I wished I had a bigger bottle.longevity is 5,6 hours which is very good for a celeb scent and sillage is almost moderate.it's a scent for mild to cool weather.soft and sensual.I like dreams more than M but that one's nice too ❤❤❤❤

I'll be honest - I have mixed feelings about this scent. It's a general crowd pleaser, and a wonderfully crafted sweet gourmand treat. So, why the hold up you ask? Dreams has many notes that I adore in a perfume; caramel, vanilla, almond, tonka bean, honeysuckle, etc. This fragrance is EXTREMELY sweet, a little too sweet even for me. I think Dreams is of excellent quality, and possesses long lasting, high quality ingredients. The first spray I get nothing but syrupy canned pineapple and salty caramel. It's mouth watering and very delectable! I think on my skin, or perhaps the way I perceive this scent, more than one spray is simply way too cloying and headache inducing for every day wear. I do like the scent even more as it dries down into the heart & base notes. The florals come out a little more and the "saltiness" subsides, leaving a gorgeous sweet, sensual and exotic trail. The best thing is that this scent lasts for ages, and it sticks to clothing for days on end. To wrap it up, this scent is very beautiful, but too overwhelmingly strong if used in excess and has the potential to cause headaches. Scent: 7.5-8/10 (undecided) Longevity: 10-12+ hours Sillage: Moderate to heavy! Would I repurchase? Possibly! PS: If you find that Prada Candy fades too quickly, this is a great alternative! Update: Thinking about this gives me the slightest toothache... lol.

I tested this right after it came out. I didn't think the staying power was enough to warrant the price, even though I liked it a LOT. I was so wrong. I was visiting out of state and had taken only one perfume in case of loss/breakage, whatever! The perfume was Guess by Marciano. It might have a LOT to do with why I thought this didn't last. Both are the same genre. I bought this last night at an after Christmas clearance. I sprayed once on my arm, changed and got my jammies on, and have made it to my computer this a.m. It's lasting just FINE. It's lovely and worth the price tag. I have many similar scents. I don't want to PAY the price, but will search always, for a good bargain. If I had nothing comparable to this, I'd certainly JUMP on this. It isn't too overly sweet, strong, annoyingly cloying, old or young. You don't even have to like vanilla! The bottle is adorable. I'm so glad to see a variation! I like a new design with each fragrance quite often. It's just a bit more enticing for me, provided I don't find it distasteful! This fragrance is a love for me. Will I use more than any other scent I have? nah....but it WILL get worn and it's a great go to fragrance for anyone. If you don't like this scent, it should still be pleasing to smell on someone other than yourself, so good for gifting. This is a good job.

I had tried it on 3 different times before buying. First one I wasn't impressed and seemed kinda heavy to me, but second and 3rd times I got a total beachy, sea vibe from it, something salty, something summery, you know that time when the sun is hiding behind the mountains but youre still at the beach. Altho its def a sweet/caramel scent I get something fresh! I absolutely love it now, wear it in the evening(around 5-6pm) and lasts all night till the morning. Some of this saltiness tones down in time and then it turns warmer, sweeter. Its youthful yet sophisticated, perfect for the 25+ seductive youthful crowd and mature at heart -25. Projection is fantastic. I fall in love with it everytime I smell it. Oh and if your man likes to burry his face in your cleavage lol spray some on it and hes gonna be even more in love with you ;) I consider it same category as Jennifer's J, similar calming beach vibe. The saltiness here though with the caramel are one-of-a-kind. I had my mom smell this perfume and she was amazed, she said "how did they manage to capture the beachy vibe and saltiness". Almond is my favorite note but I dont get much of it here, it is subtle. I dont see much similarity to Fancy, thank God, that one is so sour/suffocating on me. This is truly a dream on my skin, summer or winter.

Yessssss is all I can say about Dreams. This was the first Mariah Carey fragrance I bought back in 2013 when it launched at Kohl's and I still love it so much. It's perfect for the Fall/Winter season and smells like all the succulent sweetness of the holidays. It is indeed very strong and sweet, with a heavy aura of caramelized almond and candy apple, but it's sweet in a very mature, luxurious, and "expensive" way, not at all childish or forgettable. The freesia and honeysuckle give Dreams an astoundingly dimensional and entrancing floral gourmand quality... I just can't stop smelling this all day long if it's on my wrist because no matter if it's freshly sprayed or in the completely dried down phase, it smells consistently great. The bottle is absolutely beautiful and totally "Mariah" with the trio of butterflies on the cap... and the fact that the liquid itself appears colored with a caramel tint just makes it even more perfect. This is what I imagine Mariah smelling like when she's on stage performing her Christmas album and dressed in a beautiful red gown haha... it's just so nice and will definitely get you compliments all throughout your day. It's not at all the "typical celebrity fragrance." I certainly recommend this fragrance and will enjoy it for years to come.
