Reve Opulent

Reve opulent is a strange perfume. The top notes are indeed very plummy, jammy, almost boozy. But after that, I get distinct greens and woods. I keep thinking maybe cedar, patchouli or wormwood? I do smell cinnamon but it is extremely faint. Same with rose, it's quite prominent if you go looking for it but doesn't jump out at you. And the white florals are there too. It's incredibly well blended. It is a powerhouse scent with amazing longevity It's definitely opulent, yummy. It reminds me of going to a black tie event, but by the beach. ( Thanks in part to white and yellow florals) It's for partying up in Gold Coast at sunset. Not schoolies, but for an older crowd whose are taking the limo to a yacht party. The perfume is a sunset pink and orange, slightly warm. Peach bellinis galore. I love it!

Reve Opulent by Terry de Gunzburg smells like fuzzy yellow peaches and rich gardenia blooms on humid summer days. The jasmine likes to sneak its way in as you get hints of orange blossom and plum. I picture a woman wearing a modest one piece swimsuit with a long seer swim cover up, dark sun glasses, a big straw hat, and chunky jewelry. She is playing cards alone in her sun room with the door open beside her gardenia plants. It’s humid and she can hear the locust buzzing as she looks at the condensation of water droplets rolling down her glass of peach iced tea. Finally a breeze blows through and she can smell her gardenia plants and peach tea along with the jar of sunscreen she left open on the table by the door. We’ve Only Just Begun by the Carpenters plays on the radio.

Springtime fragrance! High and fresh perfume with white flowers. Not too high, not too green. Soft and easy, friendly. Not arguing or debating of feminism. It just is feminine. Daytime in city. Maybe boring to someone, I think not. I'm not so often interested in contents, how the fragrance is built, greated. It's interesting, however how it works on me is the point. How it works on You! We are different fysically and our mental needs are variable. And Rêve Opulent is nice on me. For the usual days we live mostly. It's lifting up my day!

How beautiful ! I love gardenia scents - they are rich, dense and opulent usually, a bit of a challenge. This gardenia is in the - "lovely even for the fainthearted" - cathegory. The flowers are a mix that tames the gardenia from being too "big". You can detect a sweet fresh rose, jasmin, ylang and especially fruits - plums, peaches and mandarin that lift the flowers up and give them a playful edge. I love how sweet and soft the base is - vanilla, musk, again ylang. Lovely. I wish a bottle of this for myself.

Very fresh and clean a bit fruity gardenia, it’s very similar to Chanel’s Gardenia that I love very much. So this one is not new but it’s definitely a pretty scent. Very feminine and good compliment getter and crowd pleaser.
