In Dreams and Fairy Tales Blueberry

If IDAF had a mascot perfume for this line, this is the clear winner. The rich yet not overpowering smell of blueberry, meringue, and chamomile almost serves like a melatonin- I’m transported to a dreamland of 8 hours of REM sleep, relaxed and dreamed away, and in this undisturbed sleep... I’m on a light blue cloud with blueberries dancing around me!!! I want to say this is super yummy and edible but the focus is really more so on the blend of the notes, rather than the differentiating notes (aka- passion fruit, blueberry, vanilla). This fragrance acts almost like a tea fragrance where it’s so well blended but has some floral background while not being an actual tea fragrance (if that makes sense). I’m in a good mood wearing this- it’s very delightfully sweet but not overwhelming like my best friend, Bianco latte. It’s so nice for summer with its cooling essence. Or a trip to mt favorite state to vacation in- Maine- to remind me of their iconic blueberries!!!

This is my favorite one from all of the IDAFT because that blueberry note is so unique! I don’t have anything else like this in my collection and it’s so lovely to sniff on my arm! This isn’t overly achingly sugary sweet either, though it is sweet enough. During the whole wear (on my skin) I get the blueberry note, though it isn’t like a fresh fruit. It’s more like a blueberry muffin like type of scent...just divine 🫐✨✨✨✨✨✨ It’s definitely a fragrance to sample and try on skin before purchasing, imo. Would I purchase a full bottle of it? Yes. But not right away. Why? Because even though it is unique and beautiful, it isn’t earth shattering enough for me to have it immediately in my collection... The only Sorce frag that did this to me was 2am in Lafayette. I ordered it the minute I tried my sample of it because it was that amazing and I couldn’t imagine myself without it...

I will admit, I didn't have high hopes for this perfume after I was so completely disappointed by it's vanilla counterpart, but this is such a pleasant surprise ! The opening note is pure sour blue raspberry candy and the dry down is a sweet blueberry muffin topped with sparkling turbinado sugar. The blueberry note is decidedly tart instead of sweet but is balanced nicely with the sweet bready pastry notes. It does take a while for the blueberry muffin scent to settle in and for a few moments the fragrance seems to be a bit at war with itself, the pendulum swinging wildly between blue raspberry and a sweet blueberry pastry. The end result is divine !

While I love and prefer the vanilla version of In Dreams And Fairy Tales, that by no means is a slight to this blueberry edition. It's a beautiful and very fruity scent, and different enough to justify having both. It's a sugary, ethereal take on a realistic, tart blueberry. For some reason, it sort of reminds me of Orchidee Vanille from Van Cleef & Arpels, but with, of course, blueberry being the star instead of mandarin. I'm not sure if I love it quite enough to pulling the trigger on a full bottle yet, just because it's VERY fruity, but I do love it. (Please note this is a review for the IPM-based version, as I am Canadian)

This has an initial strong blast of blueberry syrup in the opening that I'd dub almost medicinal but then after an hour or two it's gone. Afterwards it turns into this mid sugared vanilla. Not bad in fairness of what the notes are trying to achieve but not long lasting enough in my book. Edit: After testing this thoroughly, I have to say that I have changed my mind. The blueberry really becomes the star of the show in my book that ties the whole fragrance together. The OG vanilla flanker is just a boring sugared vanilla. This however, is magical and one of my favorite fragrances to date.
