Dream Moon

BACCARAT GOES GOTHIC. Wait for the swoon-worthy drydown of rich, dark, creamy , sweet & slightly gothic sandalwood & toasted sugar. Patchouli is only recognizable to me as a blend of sandalwood-patchouli that I've smelled before in other scents. Vanilla isn't listed in the notes, but it's definitely there helping to build the sweet, creamy sandalwood. Although this is another 'inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 Maison Francis Kurkdjian' creation, I find this one particularly beautiful. Opens with a sweet burst of toasted spun-sugar that deepens into a rosy heart that has an airy, whipped, spun-sugar quality, all resting on a sandalwood-patchouli base with creamy, sweet and eyes-rolling-back-in-the-head perfection. Overall: Average performance that's extended by layering over its matching body spray. Beautiful and popular scent profile, with above average performance. One of the nicest takes on BR 540 DNA. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Contrast to Cloud Ariana Grande: These are different but there are some similarities with a fluffy sweet spun-sugar base. Cloud has a more forward whipped quality . Both have Baccarat DNA, and roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Pure Sugar Eau de Juice Cosmopolitan: These are different but there are some similarities with a fluffy sweet spun-sugar base. Both have Baccarat DNA, although DM leans closer to BR 540. Roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Instant Crush Mancera: These are different but there are some similarities with a fluffy sweet spun-sugar base. Both have Baccarat DNA, but IC has nuclear beast-mode performance and leans slightly more masculine. Update 03/19/24: After this ages a bit, the vanilla comes even more forward. Amazing projection here, and the pink rose has some faintly strawberry leaning tones that remind me of Burberry Her also. This gets better and better over time, and it was already good at the start. Love, love, love. Update 12/27/24: Totally BR540 DNA. A little goes a long way, plus lasts 12+ hours on the skin now, and 24+ hours on clothing. There's definitely a molecular component here than some people go noseblind too (similar to BR540). I should have sprayed once or twice. Still a love!

🌟 TLDR: DOES _NOT_ SMELL LIKE THE NOTES LISTED! NO PATCHOULI 🚫🌱 NO ROSE 🚫🌹 SMELLS KINDA LIKE CANDY 🍭🍬😃 No Patchouli at all, thankfully!!! 🤗 This doesn't smell like the notes listed. This does smell similar to Cloud by Ariana Grande because of the praline/candy sweetness, but it doesn't have the strong lavender scent like Cloud, even though it has the same family of sweetness like the lavender in Cloud. I guess that's the note of "pink roses". Even if you hate Patchouli in fragrances and you hate roses, you'll still love this perfume if you like sweet, more candy-like scents! 🍬🍭 It's not overly sweet and cloying like some may find Pink Sugar by Aquolina or Sugarful by Michel Germain. It's not PURE sugar like those perfumes, but it's sweeter like a candy or fluffy, airy cotton candy for sure. I see where it could read as creamy to some noses, so maybe it does have a creamy sandalwood note, but it's not a traditional sandalwood note. It's not a woody fragrance to my nose or anyone around me who has smelled it. When I receive compliments, people say it smells sweet. For that reason, I love it! It's a great cheapie and I've found it on Amazon (less than $20) cheaper than Target (around $21.99). This doesn't last 12 hours and it doesn't project across the room, but when I spray it on skin and clothes, it projects pretty well, enough to get compliments. It smells fairly strong around 2-3 hours on skin and a long time on clothes! After the initial 2 or 3 hours of a stronger scent, it starts to become more of an intimate skin scent and stays that way for 4 or 5 hours. I can still smell it on my clothes until I wash them 1-3 days later. Try it out! (Another great one from Pacifica is Silver Moon! I love that vanilla way more than Island Vanilla by Pacifica! They do smell like different types of vanilla, but Island Vanilla starts off with a huge blast of alcohol for at least 2 minutes and fades very quickly, like 10 minutes, into a skin scent a stays a skin scent. Silver Moon lasts a lot longer and projects a lot more than Island Vanilla by Pacifica. If you're on the fence about which vanilla to get from Pacifica, go with Silver Moon! See my review for Silver Moon.)

I really really like this. First spray, amazing vanilla that makes my mouth water, I'm. It usually a fan of rose or certain floral but some reason, the pink rose in this is so beautiful and soft. It is warm, a slight powder/cream vibe. Only a slight earthy vibe...more on the drydown but you really have to sniff to get it. Sometimes sandalwood on drydown smells TOO woody, but the rose helps tone it down but not enough it disappears. The patchouli gives it that slight spice vibe...which I think is reminiscent of a cinnamon kind of vibe...but definitely nothing close to straight cinnamon roll baked good or anything like that. The rose is more strong on the initial spray, and usually when it goes away I'm happy but with this I kind of wish it stayed a bit stronger? Idk something about this floral rose smell is not gross like other rose scents I've smelled. It's not soapy, but it smells clean...like, stepping out of the shower and used a bunch of different nice smelling soaps simultaneously on your skin and hair that lingers in the humid air of the bathroom and on your wet skin. It's more watery than blue moon which literally has water as a note...and doesn't smell like it at all 🤣 Im surprised vanilla isn't a note at all, cause it has a touch of vanilla vibe....something is giving it a sweet edge that isn't a green, watery, ozone type floral which I don't like. If you want that, you may not like it....but if you like gourmand or sweet scents but want something a bit different to switch things up but still have that kind of candy like vibe, this is great.

i'm not a sophisticated perfume person, so take this with a grain of salt lol i've been wearing this perfume every fall & winter since december of 2021 and it has never failed me. in an initial spray you can definitely pick up on the spicy & woodiness, and when it dries down the florals come through really nicely. it's light and powdery after a while, but also has a hint of sweetness. it's subtle and it smells lovely and i adore it in the bitter coldness, it's gives a sense of comforting nostalgia to me to memories from when i first started wearing this perfume. a lot of people say it's similar to popular scents, which i'm not sure of but to me this doesn't really smell like cloud, i have yet to smell baccarat rouge 540 though. the longevity is pretty decent, it usually lasts an entire school day for me and sometimes an extra 2-3 hours. some people seem to complain that it lasts like a body spray but maybe i just put too much on lol overall, this has become a signature scent to me for the winter. to me, it's a little too cloying for the 100 degree summers we have, but in the fall, winter & spring it's to die for!

This is a dupe for something... I can't place my finger on what though. I absolutely love it. I sprayed this, "neon moon," "blue moon," and "silver moon" on my arms at target (much to the embarrassment of my husband). Neon moon was the most interesting, smelling exactly like dill pickles, Clausen dill pickles, but "Dream moon" smelled the best. It also lasted the longest and except for neon, had the best sillage. Absolutely great value at $21. Designer quality. Dream opens with a clean patchouli. The dry down is an ambery sandalwood with gentle hits of green rose. Very woody and beautiful. I could even see this being unisex. Edit: so I read other reviews that this smells like AG Cloud and BR540. I haven't smelled Baccarat Rouge, but I have smelled cloud. They are similar, but I think this (dream) is less sweet. I don't get the 'cotton candy' at all. This is pure woods with a smooth cream sandalwood and a hint of new (hence my description of 'green') rose. Like a rose bud. But it's very mild.

TLDR: A flirty hippy with flowers in her hair teasing you waving her just bought stick of candy floss under your nose! ---------------------------------------------- PS If you are one of those people than can smell Iso E Super you should find that longevity for you will be greater than for those who can't. PPS My son has a hyper sensitivity to Iso E Super & Ambroxan so he hates it & anything else that has it! 😫😞 ---------------------------------------------- I took a gamble on this after reading comparisons/similarities with Baccarat Rouge & Cloud & having tried a dupe of BR540 Extrait (& LOVING it!). I feel so lucky that it lasts for hours on my skin!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! (⁠灬⁠o⁠‿⁠o⁠灬⁠)⁠♡ I've already bought another bottle! I've layered it with a couple of different perfume dupes by Perfume Parlour & can honestly say that each time, I'm in love with how I smell lol Vegan & cruelty free too. It's perfect (for me!) ;) If you decide to try it, I hope you love it too :)

Do I like looking at the pink and purple ombré bottle on my beautiful perfume shelf? No. Do I spray myself with this scent compulsively? YES. Oh my goodness, I am addicted to this fragrance. I wear it almost every night, right out of the shower with fresh pajamas on. It truly smells like my dreams. And in terms of performance, I sprayed myself with this this morning, then I went about my day, went to Sephora, sprayed two different Killian fragrances on my wrists, and I still predominantly smell Dream Moon. It’s amazing. The opening is a lot—I get a blast of that medicinal BR540 vibe, but it quickly dries down into this sandalwood, cotton candy without the sugar kick, hazy, dream-like scent. It smells *purple,* if that make sense. It’s cheap, it’s vegan, it’s wonderful. Spray liberally and get cozy.

Okay I love this perfume and I love these notes separately and all together but I feel like I'm being misled, deceived, duped... Because how do these 3 notes together just straight up smell like cotton candy? I can't figure it out. Everyone tells me I smell like cotton candy when I wear this. It's pure sweetness, a little musky but still undeniably sweet. There must be more to the story here than these 3 notes. Update: it smells like a sweetly scented baby wipe to me now. I don't get "earthy" or "masculine" from this at all like other reviews, which is somewhat a shame because I'm a particularly big fan of earthy scents. To me, it smells synthetic, more synthetic than most of Pacifica's fragrances which I have grown obsessed with. I loved this before but I'm back and forth on it now.

This was my Easter perfume this year and it was perfect for the day! I own both BR540 and Cloud (and their flankers), as well as Burberry Her, and Dream Moon is definitely a sibling of all of these. It has the same feel although its not an exact dupe of any of them. I really love the dry down of Dream Moon, it was smooth and lasted several hours on my skin, and wasn't too loud on a warm, sunny day. I feel like BR 540 is a going out for the evening perfume, Cloud and Burberry Her are more affordable options for the same effect. This is your daytime version...definitely needs to be re-applied, but a really good affordable option.

This perfume is sooo good! I cannot stop smelling it every time I wear it. Its like I take a deep whiff and either say or think "Oh wow, that is GOOD" (depending on if anyone is around me, hahaha!) It is very similar to Cloud, but I like this one a bit better, its not as sweet and is more woody. I love that woody dry down! Upon first application its sweet, like a thick cotton candy and its also a little medicinal. This lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin, and all day on my clothes. I dont smell rose or patchouli, but those 3 notes work together so beautifully! Well done Pacifica!

According to my spouse this, "Smells like a burning apple tree." I just don't see it. To me this is sweet, cloudy and airy. And surprisingly long lasting for a Pacifica fragrance. Looking at the notes I can almost convince myself that I smell rose and some kind of nouveau sandalwood, but not really. This smells to me like a cross-section of whatever it is that made BR540 amazing when it first appeared on the scene. I have and absolutely love BR540 extrait, which also doesn't go over very well in my household. So I've been exploring alternatives. This is one of the better ones.

I love this! Not a granny rose scent at all. I wish the longevity and sillage were humongous I want to walk around in a big cloud of this all day forever! Took me 3 or 4 tries to buy it and once I used the lotion and the perfume together I was hooked! I really been getting more into sultry rose scents recently and I've always loved sandalwood (especially with a good not overly sweet rose!) And I've been wearing sandalwood for years and years now so this combo is perfect for me. Love the vision behind it too, I think the bottle and name "Dream Moon" are very fitting!

The first time I sprayed this at Target, right away without even looking on here, I said to myself this smells very familiar, then I quickly realized it smells exactly like Ariana Grande Cloud! I went on here to make a note of that for myself & saw how so many others agreed! I would have to say this projects better initially but Cloud lasts longer. And maybe this is a little warmer, sweeter? But overall same. I still prefer my Cloud because it lasts longer but I still purchased a bottle of this because I love the scent so much!

holy.... I picked this up because I liked the colors. I smelled it, and I was like, wow this smells exactly like cloud. Like exactly. Except for cloud’s almost sterile-smelling opening, this perfume is just like it. This one might be even better!! Actually, I get all the things the reviews are saying- kinda dissonant, different, rosy, aromachemical-y, woody... but it.. works?? All I can say is that you gotta try it. This can be worn day and night, and in my opinion it’s great for spring and summer.

Similar to Cloud. More complex and more masculine. Dark woods, caramel, cotton candy. I would have to say this projects better initially but Cloud lasts longer. And maybe this is a little warmer, sweeter? Definitely deeper, richer. But overall same burnt sugar/caramel vibe with an abstract freshness. I wish this lasted longer on me, though some scents I go ansomic to as the day goes on. Think of this is the darker, more mysterious version of Cloud.

I've never smelled AG Cloud, nor BR540 but the rumors about this being a dupe of a hot topic scent made me go to Target with my $5 coupon to get it. They only had the body and hair mist and that was $11.99. I have been wearing it daily for the past two weeks! I'm 43 years old and love patchouli and sweet scents. This one is like a sexy Jolly Rancher with kind of a burn-y smell. It's what I want my p*ss* to taste like, frankly.

Really nice! Pacifica fragrances all have a certain vibe in common IMO and this one is no exception. And that is not a complaint because I have loved all of them so far. This one is rich, earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood and rose, beautifully blended. Sweeter than I thought it would be. I think I prefer their Himalayan Patchouli Berry a wee bit more, because that one is sooooo beautiful but this is a very close second.

I can see why it's being compared to Baccarat Rouge. It has that same metallic woodiness, impossible to define but recognizable among a thousand. Dream Moon, however, is younger, a little sweeter (incidentally, I don't find Baccarat rouge sweet at all), and I love its balsamy side. It's also very natural, unlike Baccarat Rouge, which veers towards the synthetic. 8/10 for this beautiful fragrance!

Yes, this is another perfume that goes in the category of "Cloud Dupe" but...I like this way better! It's like an airier, rose version of it. Sweet and cozy. I feel like you can easily wear this any season! Oddly enough, this one lasts longer on me than Cloud, so longevity may vary person to person. Love that it's super affordable, too! Absolutely lovely fragrance. <3

I actually really like this and will happily wear it, just grabbed a bottle this evening. A little sweet and youthful but not in an unpleasant way, very ethereal and kind. I get a dose of a dreamy rose and a gentle wood finish; not necessarily sandalwood to me, I actually find this a little musky. Great buy for $25 and has good longevity on me.
