Sweet Dreams 2003

One of the reasons Guerlain is my favorite mainstream perfume house is because of Thierry Wasser, I own many of his creations. So naturally I was really curious about this formula brought to life by A Lab on Fire. A beautiful, simple summer scent with defined stages: from a lemony pettigrain and neroli to a soft floral middle to an amber-musk drydown. It all happens within a few hours and it never smells soapy. It’s a perfect beach scent for the Adriatic or another location on the Mediterranean. My second purchase from A Lab on Fire. Retail price is justified — $110 for 60 ml — but I bought my gently used bottle off a trusted seller for an even better deal. Placed firmly in summer rotation as this scent performs best in heat.

Great stuff this I've tried a few citrus/white florals recently for summer additions to the collection and this one is pretty good on the whole. First of all the opening is purely lemony petitgrain and a bergamot which goes from a sharp citrus to a more mandarin type smell. This ties in perfectly with the discrete mixture of white florals at the heart of this fragrance. Orange blossom and neroli which is not too strong waxy or soapy partly due to being sweetened up with Jasmine and a base of musk. A really pleasant fragrance if you're looking for white florals and citrus, this is good stuff.

Wow it smells like Orange Blossom by Jo Malone! Lovely!

mr. wasser - lovely done - thx

Quite realistic zesty citruses: juicy and zingy. In a while it transforms into more soapy and clean neroli scent, but quite rounded one. In general it’s a lovely fresh scent. Beautifully done! My ig: scent.guide

reminds me strongly of l'eau de l'hermine by lostmarch. a slender version, minus the lavender and heliotrope+ ambroxan or similar

Very nice for summer, I guess. A bit tot unisex for my taste.

Just lovely, at last Petitgrain without the bitter edge. I suspect this may be the natural skin scent southern debutants are born with. I'm talking to you Claire Underwood fans. Clean and classy. This reads as a very soft skin scent. Very proper, perfectly balanced citrus jasmine. Sweet Dreams has moderate longevity but frustratingly week projection. Not packing the punch to justify the investment. If I were ever to wed a ruthlessly ambitious a career politician, I would stockpile Sweet Dreams as my signature.

Simple, uncomplicated and beautiful. The petitgrain and neroli are the perfect counterpoint to the jasmine, keeping it from having that decaying smell that jasmine can have when not properly balanced. And the warm undertones of musk, amber and castoreum are delicious. I never thought I would describe a neroli and petitgrain scent as "warm" but this one is, like warm rays of sun on your back. Just gorgeous.

I got my sample today, and I like it, I detect the neroli, which is a note I truly like, and the scent is overall very interesting, bright with freshness, that perfume is attractive, warm yet soft, lovely, I might try to buy a bottle!! Wasser creates scents that have an edge somewhere, Sweet Dreams is exactly that, sweet and dreamy!! I just bought a 15 ml!! I will add it isn't unisex to me really..

Funny, I thought this was a lavender scent, especially given the name. A testament to Wasser's expertise, perhaps, disguising a white floral as a lavender fragrance. Certainly develops into something more animalic. Poetic. Or I'm simply crazy, either way.

First time, It smells like neroli, and a few time after, Hedione... Hedione...

It is kind of nice but not as much as the equivalents of Galimard for example.
