Dream Sequence

Melodic, dreamy, nostalgic art. Marissa Zappas has an extraordinary gift of infusing her fragrances with whimsical nostalgia that feels so genuine. She is among my favorite perfumers because of the earnestness she expresses through olfactory art. Fragrance is not a powerhouse. Rather, it is an intimate moment, a memory whispering quietly-- something that communicates more to the wearer than anyone else. This scent, along with everything from MZ, speaks to my being, giving me beautiful memories of times I never got to have, and that is a gift.

this reminds me of my late grandmother's perfumed powders. it is a light, almost soapy sort of lilac garden. its earthiness adds a welcome amount of depth, beautifully so. if this were made in a powder form, i would hoard crates of it. it's vintage, soft, and nostalgic. it stays close to my skin so it feels like a little secret. love, love, love!!!

I grew up in very humid climate and Dream Sequence reminds me so much of that rich earthy smell before it starts to rain. Very lush, Victorian even. I love purple flowers in general (so cheeky and feminine) the lilac and the petit grain balance the dampness of the earth note beautifully.

reminds me of when i was a lot younger and would often play in the garden with my sweetheart siblings. baby faced, wide eyed, and innocent; brimming with curiosity at the beauty of the world. hazy, fond, ethereal.

Fresh lilacs swaddled in an earthy, powdery musk that sits very close to the skin. Sweet dirt. The Marissa Zappas fragrances I have had the opportunity to try have a lovely "antique" quality that I really enjoy.
