Day Dreams

A safe blind buy for white floral & citrus lovers, this was another successful gamble for me, based on seeing a cheap 100ml bottle & liking the notes. I would say this is a typical golden citrus, beachy, white floral summer scent. It’s gorgeously feminine, rather than unisex & I would say it’s a fairly typical, unoriginal fragrance style in that it’s not a unique combination of notes. In this sense it is different to other montales & has less unique qualities. It actually reminds me a bit of Lady Million, (but with a bit more about it), so yes the profile is more generic / designer like, than from a niche house. For me it’s safe buy for lovers of the notes and I can see how people likened the smell to the insert of a beauty magazine. Reminds me of walking into the fragrance section of a beauty department store. It’s just a well rounded, lightly tropical floral fragrance.. pleased to have this in my collection

I only ever had one Montale perfume before-Dark purple, and at a first whiff this was a 1000% reminder, so the Montale DNA is definitely there and I love it. I am always on the hunt for fresh perfume that actually lasts long and has a great projection and doesn’t smell generic and I smell huuuge potential here. This is perfect for people who usually enjoy heavy perfumes but want something fresher without loosing that je ne sais quoi. The more I smell it the better it gets, as a good perfume should. I am extremely impressed and satisfied with this blind buy. I have that rare urge to buy some back ups right away just in case. This scent is singing to my soul 🎶 Clementine and white florals and vanilla with coconut, all wrapped with a Montale bow on it. I mean what more could you ask for (if you already like Montale) it’s all there and I LOVE IT.

Oh my gosh, yes to the glossy magazine insert!!! There is that something airy about it that new glossy paper has. I do think this is unisex. I would love this on a man- so fresh, but I also like it for myself. I can also see another reviewers point about being sexy and trashy hahah there is something that’s really in your face about this fragrance with how strong it is and how it kind of really fills the nose (almost like the sensation of an astringent but this frag doesn’t smell like astringent) Oh and yes it does have a familiar montaleness to it. I really like this, I think this could be a versatile fragrance. It’s beautiful and strong and holds up to the weather and parties. I however do not get the oud other reviewers are mentioning.. the closest thing I detect is that bitter neroli mix with an ever so slight woodiness of sandalwood.

Big fan!! Upon spraying this on my skin, I can smell sweet, fresh/citrus, floral, and powdery accords. As it dries down, the fresh/citrus and floral accords fade, while the sweet and powdery accords develop. This fragrance is a warm and smooth gourmand with a soft sweetness and slight creaminess from the vanilla, coconut, sandlwood and tiare flower. The powdery finish makes this fragrance feel like a comforting, cozy, warm night by the fire sipping on hot coco with mini marshmallows. I see that others say it's perfect for summer - but because the fresh/citrus notes fade away quite quickly, the vanilla gourmand notes make it feel more like a fall or evening/night time fragrance for me. It's a bit too sweet and warm for the day time personally, but to each their own!

This is a perfect ‘easy reach’ in the high heat of late spring and summer. The overall feeling of Day Dreams is warm, fresh and tropical. It has a bright, zingy citrus opening. I get soft tropical white florals in the mid. The tiare is there, but it’s well balanced and doesn’t take over the scent. On my skin the base is dry coconut and creamy sandalwood. There is a tiny bit of a ‘dryer sheet’ aspect, but it’s not soapy or overpowering at all. While Day Dreams has the typical Montale DNA, it feels much less synthetic than most of their scents. It’s a very crowd pleasing perfume, and the performance is amazing for this scent profile. I get lots of compliments when I wear this, even from several feet away 6 hours after application.

A true testament to trusting your nose over the notes. 50% of the notes in this are notes I avoid like the plague, but I tested this at Sephora out of sheer curiosity and was immediately blown away. Tried a generous amount on skin and I haven’t been able to stop smiling for the last four hours. This is a sparkling fresh, clean, sweet floral. There is nothing indolic, animalic or heady about the florals and not a single solitary note stands out. It’s blended to utter perfection. There does seem to be a muskiness in the dry down... like a skin musk, that keeps the powderiness from being too much. This scent is perfection for me.

This is my second Montale (the first one being Dark Vanilla that turned my skin into smoked caramel glazed piece of ham...). I am truly impressed with this one. It's feminine and assertive. Sweet, but fresh at the same time. Sheer complexity of this fragrance will keep you captivated for hours. It is a head turner for sure and trust me- less is more in case of this potent beauty. I would say this is the second fragrance (after my beloved Issey Miyake le Feu d'Issey) that smells as expensive as it actually is. Longevity is also eternal for both- which is something you kind of expect from an expensive product.

Day Dreams for me was a love at first sniff kind of fragrance I remember opening up my Treasure Box and what immediately did I smell when I did? I smelt Day Dreams. Can I just say the longevity for me is around 12+ hours and sillage is around arms length but in public it's like a little scent bubble and it's heavenly and I've probably looked like a idiot wearing this smiling to myself and I'm still trying to put my finger on how to describe this one. I am planning to get a bigger bottle because I can't get enough of Day Dreams. Well done Montale you've got me hooked.

A wonderful day/summer perfume that does not have weak longevity/silliage and without it being nausiating. As a person that enjoys layering perfumes i enjoy having this as the the topping scent i think of it like a cherry on top. Though, this scent carries itself on its own beautifully. Not everyones cup of tea so I strongly reccommend you dont blind buy it. Projection, sillage, longevity : 9/10 Originality, presentation : 8.7/10 Quality, value : 7/10 Overall: 8.5/10

I have it for two days and did one puf on my hand , both times i cam smell it after 14h but is not that air filling after 6-7 hours i can smell it i i get closer .. but hey fr one puf is amazing ... remembers me of mancera auod orchid but higher on florals less in coconut, decent product amazing bottle , got it for around 60 euro on clearance 100ml🤣🥰 if u find it for the same price make sense to get it but for a lil more u can get an amazing fragrance from Montale

It is a bold perfume. The sillage and longevity are excellent. I love this scent for summer, it is sexy! I can smell Tiare, Blossom, Jasmine and Vanilla (zero coconut). Very feminine, the fragrance is linear. 9/10 In this brand, for spring and summer, I prefer: Love --> Diamont Flowers = Day Dreams > Sweet Peony > Pure Gold > Crystal Flowers > Diamond Greedy > Intense Tiaré > Roses Greedy > Pearl > Sicily <-- Dislike

This is beautiful. As soon as you spray it the scent explodes into the air & hits you with a cool sweet floral freshness. You can really smell the orange blossom & tiare. Sweet creamy white florals with an orange citrus zing. It starts to warm up as it settles & the sandalwood becomes more pronounced. Woody & smooth. This is a gorgeous scent for spring & summer. Perfect vacation scent. I love it.

I purchased this in a travel spray size to try it on. I spritzed all over and went on about my daily routine when my husband noticed the scent. He REALLY likes it! And that means a bunch. I'm going to keep using my travel size bottle before I go in for the big bottle. I want to be sure before I make the commitment to it. Hubby liking it puts it in the "plus" column. :>)

This stuff is the ultimate summer fragrance. Definitely leans feminine but a guy can absolutely wear this. I blind bought this with 0 regrets and found myself wearing it a ton this summer. It is great for outdoor activities like the pool, beach, or anywhere it has room to breathe. I'd go 1-2 sprays for the office. Projects like crazy and lasts forever on my skin.

it is interesting because each time i smell it i have an impression that it reminds me of smth i don't remember what exactly but i am really attracted to it, even tho many people find it quite generic and gloss magazine scent like staying power is great on clothes To me it's slightly powdery fruity jasmine scent

I do like this fragrance. Not love. It’s pleasant enough. But nothing spectacular. A good Spring/Summer daytime scent. Tropical and a bit fuzzy almost,.. reminds me of a designer perfume.....a few sprays in warmer weather should be good or else it can choke you out...It’s ok. Idk if I’d repurchase this though.

Solid fragrance for both men and women but i would describe it as more feminine. I as a man would still wear it though. It is really floral and sweet and the mandarinorange doesn't really pop as much as i want it to. It lasts the whole day and projection is quite good. Would reccomend.

Love this. This has sort of an Intense Cafe vibe without the Cafe, so it's tolerable in hotter weather. Nuclear and lovely. People like it. Smell: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 (this will last weeks on fabric) Projection: 7/10 (maybe projects out 3 feetl Sillage: No idea Overall: 9/10

Summer in a bottle! Such a mood lifter in this cold weather, and the performance is amazing. Nothing special or groundbreaking but most fragrances aren’t groundbreaking or special. This will be my go-to perfume for summer. Leans feminine but a man could certainly pull it off.

Its amazing, a very fresh almost tropical but not that "car air-freshener tropical" like most of the fragrances with coconut in it, its smells natural and uplifting. I think even men can wear it but it leans slightly to the feminine direction.
