Dreams Unlimited

Blind buy: Aquatic cedar opening. Interesting. Just slightly not generic. Making my nose run a bit, which high quality perfume does not do, and I did sneeze when I first sprayed it, but not causing a full on allergic reaction. There's an artifical plasticy smell, I'm thinking it's the peppers. This might be nice for summer, wearing outside while you enjoy nature. Definitely unisex. It's clean without smelling of strong soap. I love the cedar and that is what will get me wearing this again, though this perfume is not a huge hit just yet, it may grow on me. Something slightly sweet is starting to pop through a few minutes after the initial sprays, but the green is still there and I'm enjoying that. Kind of hope it doesn't go sweet actually. Starting to smell like a cleaning product. Offensive-ish but yet, I like it. That cedar is still very present. Remaining aquatic/cedar. Throat starting to burn. F-word. Well, it's not special enough to wear all the time, especially with a slightly burning throat, but it is nice in its own way and I'll probably save it for spring or cleaning days. I'm very sensitive to chemicals and everything really, so don't take my reaction to heart unless you too are sensitive. The throat burning is slight and tolerable. It's nothing crazy, so if you love the scent, weigh that out. It's reminding me of something. April Fields, perhaps? Remember that gem? It's not even in the directory here, but it was a special edition after the success of vanilla fields. I loved April Fields but never see it anywhere anymore. Probably not a huge hit, but it was more intense and classier than this. I also didn't react to it. I currently smell like as if I spilled cleaning product on me then went out to roll around in the fresh cut grass and hug some cedar trees. I think I love it. As long as it doesn't turn weird, this may end up being worn more than I expected upon initial spray. There's just something about it. If it changes again, I'll edit this, as others have mentioned a powdery dry down and I do love me some powder. Asthma not activated. Runny nose, dry. No more than the one initial sneeze. Throat just slightly burning, tolerable but not ideal. I bet this would pair nicely with Juicy Couture's Peace, Love & Juicy. That is such a nice green grassy scent. Oooh here comes that powdery cedar. I do love this. Edit: I no longer smell the artificial plasticy smell i did the first few times I wore this. It's fresh, green and cedar. I LOVE it. Reminds me of something from the 90s but can't quite place what it was. Maybe something later.. Tommy? But much more green, no sweetness and less artifical. I'm not sure. It's delicious though. If you like green, get your hands on this gem.

I miss not having a Body Shop within close proximity to me anymore. With that said, seeing Dreams unlimited at my local Marshalls, I was happy to take the plunge on one of their products. This is a warm, embracing fragrance. Soothing, calming, immediately reminds me of blue skies and huge, white billowy clouds. It's another fragrance that I can put into the sleepytime category, or not. Mosses come through strong giving Dreams a Gothic feel for me, albeit a vestal virgin one. The song "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" for some reason popped into my head when I was wearing this. Images of forests, castles in the background with moats, women with gowns embroidered with silk threads out on their stallions, the forest floor is lush and vibrant with foliage. It's an earthy smell, its mid notes of iris, green pepper and red chili pepper staying strong. Radiates well depending on the season of wear. Simplistic bottle with fair trade ingredients. That's always a plus.

given by my sister at first did not like the bottle or the cover thought it ws ok but upon wearing it i luved it its bout to finish now like it a lot u can wear it any day mild not overpowering and good for summer! fresh and beautiful to me

Soft, aquatic, cottony almost. It puts a smile on my face. Not over-powering, just the right amount of sillage and longevity. Really nice for a daily scent.

I love this one! Very sporty and fresh. It reminds me of my favorite perfume by Björn Borg "Clean Green".

I don't know why, but it smells totally creamy on me ._. like milk. good enough.

Picked the EDP from my wardrobe up again after several years hiatus because it somehow felt right for a character I am creating. Doesn't hurt that in the UK it's at least 20-odd0C. For an aquatic fragrance, it's quite heady. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Victoria's Secret fragrance that attempted to recreate this.... But I can't imagine VS would be quite as experimental as TBS was back in the day. Quite sweet, with a piquancy underneath from the pepper - imagine this with Szchechuan pepper notes for the 2020s! Tiny bit of wood. Smells like a body lotion to me on close inspection. I'll try this again tomorrow and see what happens. Happy little rediscovey AND it hadn't gone off!

Tested this perfume... and it is gorgeous! There is a liquid, water element to the first scent and as it settles a wave of purple flowers grow and settle into a hidden fruit smell. It is almost like "Beyond Paradise" By Estee Lauder, if you smell it carefully. This perfume works well on any skin type, as long as it is moisturized often. The scented cream that comes with it works as an excellent perfume primer. BEAUTIFUL! Scent 9/10 Staying Power ?/10

As a reviewer below said, this reminds me totally of Davidoff - Cool Water. I received this from a friend, tried and tested by her but never loved. I actually like it quite a lot...I wouldnt say that its on my "to buy" list just yet but its growing on me! The lasting power is very good, out living the majority of other scents I own, and I have received compliments on it every time Ive worn it. Worth a sniff :)

I think this perfume is very weird.Got the sample and my first sniff was, it was fresh and unique. The fifth, sixth sniff were, green pepper and bley sweet. But later I still bought it. Now if I put on too much, it will smell horribly sweet. But sometimes it's okay and some of my older colleagues (female in their 30s,40s) think it's nice. To conclude, I've got mixed feelings.

Just for the record, the notes listed by the Body Shop are quite different from those listed on our database here: (Quote from the sample) "Inspired by life's endless possibilities, our new fragrance features upliftng top notes of citrus and green chilli, a heart of delicate white flowers and fresh aquatic notes, and base notes of soft cedarwood".

well sarafirmino, i dont agree with you....this smells much better than LOVE ETC. This is a sweet aquatic fragrance with some citrous scents...maybe you dont like these components but these really work on me, and i LOVE this. this one fits teenagers, like myself, during summer but not winter, this is so beautiful.

Love, love, love this perfume! Wonderful for summer time! I do agree that there is a note that wasn't mentioned in the description. Can't say exactly what it is, but it adds more crispness and spiciness. On the dry down turns very warm, sunny, and fresh. In a nut shell: it's a very pleasant and happy scent.

This is a floral scent but I smell some fruit in it too. On the initial spray, it does not smell so good because there is the peppery smell which I dislike but as it settles down I love its fresh scent. I wear this mostly in spring because it feels as though I'm in a garden surrounded by flowers.

Lovely perfume, strong and fresh. One of my favourite, such shame its been discontinued. The cedar comes through strongly, blackcurrant...hmm not sure, orange yes, iris and chilli? Yes. I spray it at the start of the day and can still smell it at the end of the day.

Wow this one reminds me a lot of Ralph (the blue one). I find it fresh, femenine , light, youthful and not overwhelming at all. It's a not expensive eau de parfum and it lasts long ! The body shop has great and unexpensive products, they're worth it !

Where's the cucumber note ? I smell a strong cucumber note ,, and I have been told twice that I smell as cucumber while I was wearing this .. Lasting power & sillage are good (if you want more, spray more)..

Absolutely lovely! It reminds me of Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise. The iris is soft and sweet alongside orange and blackberry. The cedar adds a lofty base, making it an unlimited dream scent. Love it! 10/10

i love this! so clean and fresh ideal for summer days, reminds me the sea and the beach!! omgggggg i love it soo much!! :DD

A nice fragrance that really lasts a long time, someone thought it was DKNY be delicious...

Not keen on the vegetable notes, it smells a little cabbage-y to me.

reminds me of Miss Dior Cherie L'eau without the staying power-

I have two bottles, an EDT and an EDP. So I tested both for this review. The EDP has a very strong cedar scent right out of the gate. Unless you are really into woody scents, it can be rather obnoxious. The EDT seems to settle right into the pepper scent. It's an odd scent for a fragrance but at least it's not overwhelmingly cedar. They are both very different scents. This is one of the very few fragrances I'm going to have to mark as dislike and that goes for both the EDT and EDP. I think discontinuing this line is the right thing to do. They were likely trying to think outside the box with this concoction of notes but it fell short of appealing.

This perfume brings many memories with it! Such as memories of sitting in a classroom learning physics, knowing you won't get anything better than a C+! I feel sorry for the person who made this perfume, because they've put all their efforts into creating a sleepworthy Elixir of Boredom! It's the boring little sister of perfumes like The Body Shop's Aqua Lily (please note: perfume oil form only), Davidoff Cool Water Woman, and Isabella Rosellini's Manifesto. Pass this one up and get one of those if you want a good summery, aquatic fragrance. P.S. I live in a 'warmer country' and it does not smell any better here either.

today, i went to TBS and bought a lots of stuff from them (god how i love this store ! ) :D this is beautifull, tbs are suprising me! LOVE ETC, neroli jasmin and vanilla are the most beautifull they own. and this one, will probably be a hit (however , i am not sure about the name -.-) i tested it in a postal strip, and it's a beautiful combo of berries and orange! and maybe some vanilla (too sweet it up a bit,) and white flowers... or maybe it's the just the cedar illusion when their bottles arrive here, i will give more details! :D

how can a perfume smell so diferent in a postal card (before it even gets here) and from a paper strip? my guess is that they must have put something different at the postal... anyway, the fragrance was so weird, at the point i realized it was not a female fragrance, not a man, and either a unisex fragrance. but perhaps a home fragrance?! however, i can garantee you one thing, my home will NOT smell like this.. and i am being nice :D come on TBS! after your previous sucess with LOVE ETC i was expecting so much more.. then this!

Saw this today in the Body Shop bargain bin, and decided to give it a try. Well? No! I don't get any of the notes listed, only something resembling turpentine. Either I got a tester gone bad, or this is a really bad fragrance. Sorry...

I agree with TankGirl, smells really cheap on me. Very generic. Alcohol based perfumes never work on my skin. Too bad but thank God I didn't pay for it(I won a contest.)

My girlfriend has this one. It smells a bit woody-sweet & aquatic, but too heavy for my taste. Kinda gives me an headache. So be careful not to spray on too much.

Synthetic and cheap smelling. It's too much of an aquatic scent to be appealing to me in any way. Smells like a washing machine, and not in a good way.

Excuse me. I agree with Sara. To me it's a cheap smelling, generic floral aquatic. Although has quite an impressive staying power.

A rather common and fresh scent. I'm not into aquatic kind of scents. This didn't have anything I could point you out.

I really loved this perfume until recently, Now i wear it and I get a headache from the pepper note :(

smells cheap and synthetic on me, very musky. Must be the iris in it.... try before you buy folks

Too sharp.. Yuck !! Even worse on The dry down, too masculine !! Double yuck !!!

Watery cheap & synthetic mess. The Body Shop can do better than this.

Smells like a bar of white soap

I feel like I have lost the only photograph I had of a loved one as I smell my wrist. I just felt like revisiting this because this is deeply person to me and reminds me of why I fell in love with fragrances to start with. Sadly, the formula does not work anymore and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it really has expired. I loved this fragrance as it had this unique citrus meets chili combination that worked like magic under the hot Maldivian sun. My sister used to wear this and I keep this as a post card of sorts to revisit treasured memories of moments shared together when we both used to live on the same island. I always told her how delicious it was and she always shrugged it off saying it was "cheap and nothing special" throwing an incredibly beautiful smile along with those modest words. I used to sit in the living room long after she had gotten ready and left having just sprayed this simply because I could not get enough it. I still have a bottle of this but I prefer not to take the lid off anymore because it upsets me so when I realize I am never going to experience the sensation this fragrance offers ever again.She just sits on my shelf like a fading photograph of a loved one that I can do nothing to stop.

I tested this perfume the other day while wandering around in store to sniff all the other products. Never really cared about this one but I actually like it now. I am very surprised to see all these bad and disappointed reviews. Wow. I was looking for a nice aquatic for summertime use and I think this is it. Starts off fresh with a nice kick of citrus, just the right amount. It definitely has some aquatic notes although the are not listed on this website. The drydown is a little bit masculine to my taste, this might be the cedarwood which is usually one of my least favourite notes but in Dreams Unlimited it mixes well with white flowers so it is still nice. I was impressed by the longevity, the fragrance actually stayed on my skin all afternoon even after washing hands. If you are looking for a simple, nice floral aquatic, which is not too sharp, not too citrussy, with decent staying power you might want to consider this one.

My interest was certainly piqued by the notes listed on the manufacturer's card for The Body Shop DREAMS UNLIMITED: citrus, green chili delicate white flowers, fresh aquatic notes soft cedarwood Unfortunately, to my nose, the "fresh aquatic notes" completely dominate the composition, making this yet another one of those seasickness-inducing frags which I find very difficult to wear. It may be that back in the twentieth century I overdosed on Calvin Klein's ESCAPE. All I know for sure is that big fat aquatic frags, of which DREAMS UNLIMITED is certainly one, hold little appeal for me today. If you're looking specifically for an aquatic perfume, do give this one a try, since the green chili note does seem like an innovation--and it is detectable. I love Anne Flipo, and was very excited to see that she was one of the perfumers who created DREAMS UNLIMITED, but even love cannot overcome physiology: I have to decline. Désolée.

I smelled this perfume and thought: "I know this one!" Yes, because to my nose it smells like many, many other scents that are out there, yet are mostly anonymous because they leave no impact. I do smell the black-currant and the orange, faintly - than it's like a wave of water sweeps all the iris and the yummy harmony that this scent COULD have....away. It's a shame and to my nose a failed attempt. Alas, not for me. The Body Shop has some wonderful floral scents: Neroli, white musk, rose etc. But when they try to make a "mix" its like they don't know what they're doing. I adore lots of their gourmand and floral body butters/lotions, and love teaming them up with the matching body-mists or perfumes. That's where The Body Shops forte is: a yummy layering experience at a friendly price. Although I am sad that the quality and choice of products is diminishing. And that beloved products get discontinued very often.

Never really cared for aquatic fragrances before but I'm opening up to trying different fragrances. This is actually quite nice. More like a unisex kind of scent. Nothing ground breaking but it's got it's appeal. Since I'm new to this category I don't have anything similar in my collection. Lately I've had a sugar overload with some of the fragrances that I own. I'm kind of girly in the way I dress and style my hair and do my makeup. So I think this would suit me well. The way I look at it is, that this would be like wearing an over sized masculine watch with a pretty feminine dress. It's the juxtaposing of masculinity and femininity. It kind of offsets prettiness and balances things out. It's like something new that you didn't expect, it's the element of surprise.

I am really suprised that so many people disliking it-this is fresh floral that has a slightly aquatic feeling. I think its perfect for summer. Now discountinued Aqua Lily did bear some simularities to Dreams Unlimited but I think I like Dreams Unlimited better. Someone mentioned Cool Water as well-I have small bottle of Cool Water and Cool Water is much more unisex, citrusy and zesty to my nose. When I purchased my bottle of edp, I was given matching lotion for free. However, even layered, it doesn't last more than 1.5 hour. I find also that it doesn't project much or have much siliage. I like it but don't love it

I have a hate/love relationship with this perfume. The one time I absolutely love this perfume and want to douse myself comepletely in it because it smells so levely! It smells fresh and definitly is a daytime scent. But then other time I find it smeeling incredibly synthetic and it ust fills up my nostrils and gives me a headache. Even tough it's a relatively light perfume it kind of is quite heavy in a way. This was a present and I'll probably use it up but I probably won't purchase it again. I definitly wouldn't reccomend it to people who quicly get a headache from certain scents.

I really loved this scent. It wasn't a scent I really cared for wearing out and having others smell. It was more personal, and for me. I would wear it at night while reading or relaxing in bed. It definitely evoked a special, dreamy deliciousness. If I remember correctly, it had a distinct spice to it. The green pepper or chili pepper notes might be the case, but something about it had a warm spicy bite to it...which is why I never wore it out. Nonetheless, it was an interesting, unique, and surprising fragrance...much like a dream tends to be.

I wasn't fond of the scent ten years ago because of the bizarre opening in spite of lovely soft floral drydown; and now I am not fond of it because of the boring drydown in spite of promising opening :D Dreams Unlimited for the first hour or so is very realistic, freshly cut juicy bell pepper scent diluted with orange and black currant notes. Later sharp and bitter peppery note kicks in; that quickly changes to mellow floral and soft woody mix. So it stays for a few more hours (altogether four to five) with moderate sillage.

I went to TBS yesterday to find myself a new perfume and I saw this brand new perfume by TBS. I tested it and it didnt really live up to my expectation. It smells sweet, but its a little too sweet for me. So i'm not gonna recommend this for teenagers but I'd rather recommend this for an evening event type of perfume. It's just not the kind of perfume you want to wear on a daily basis. It's the kind that you want to wear on a special occasion. :)

The green chili note saves this fragrance from becoming 'basic.' Definitely green and herbal, Dreams Unlimited is great for warmer days. The drydown reminds me of Estee Lauder Pleasures. I have this in EDP and honestly I like it for its good sillage and longevity. Perhaps it's the green chili that holds the fragrance down and makes it last longer on skin.

this perfume is so underrated . i don't know maybe its because its not high-end brand . however this perfume is so aquatic with a hunch of floral smell so pleasant smell specially for summer just leave it on ur skin for 10-15 mins and will feel good believe me i just bought it today and i don't regret buying it :)

A surprise to me..could be synthetic but the smell is so nice! a sexy femenine combo of florals, the important moment is in some minutes, iris and cedar mixed in a lovely balance..this is a really magnetic smell, nothing shy but not saturated..femenine, smiling, confident fragance.
