Delicate, bubbly effervescent green retro aldyhdye smell with a makeup powder combo of heliotrope, rose and violet. There’s something that’s ever so slightly tangy – it might be a peachy facet to the aldehydes or the fruity aspect of the rose or raspberry from the violet. In the mid, I get the retro floral accord, mixed with some wiffs of a waxy orris (also reminiscent of makeup!) and smoothed by tonka. Props to SSS for making a retro makeup scent that doesn’t veer too powdery, too “babywipe” or too sharp aldehydic/chypre. I prefer it over Nostalgie. Unfortunately, though I can appreciate the artistry, this is not my type of scent.

تو دريم “للحلم” من سونوما للنساء والرجال
To Dream Sonoma Scent Studio for women and men
الإبداع هو أحد حالات الخروج من الواقع واليقظة لحالة أخرى أشبه بالتخيل أو “رؤيا المنام”.
فدائما ما تبدأ الحالة الإبداعية داخل عقولنا حيث لا تستطيع أن تنالها حواسنا المادية،
وعلى قدر شغفنا بما يدور داخل أروقة مركز الإبداع في عقولنا وتلذذنا به،
تتولد طاقة ورغبة قوية في اقتناص هذا الطيف وتحويله إلى واقع وحقيقة.
أكاد أجزم أن لوري أريكسون من المولعين بالتأمل العميق لفترات ما قبل القيام بأي عمل.
مع تجربة عطر to dream استوقفني هذا السؤال:
هل سبق العطر الحلم الابداعي؟ أم حدث العكس؟
على كل حال فالحلم في هذه المرة كان عنوانه الأناقة الحالمة..
يمكنك أن تتعمق في تأمل الافتتاحية لتقترب من القول أنها تميل للجهة النسائية
فإن الدفع بكثافة بزهرة حجر الدم ” Heliotrope” وهي ذات رائحة سويتية بعض الشيء
مع الورود النابضة بالحياة هو انحياز كبير بالعطر للجانب النسائي
ولكن لوري حتما ستعود بالحلم سريعا إلى نقطة التعادل والمنتصف
قد يظن البعض أن وجود طحلب السنديان برائحته الترابية الرطبة مع لمسات تشبه الرائحة الجلدية هو الذي أحدث هذا التوازن
أو أن تكون أخشاب الأرز الفرجينية المدخنة التي تختلط في شذاها روائح العنبر والتوابل مع الراتينج
وقد يكون وجود الاثنين معا هو سر هذا التوازن.
ولكني أرى أن فلسفة لوري كانت أعمق من هذه النظرة السطحية في إرجاع العطر
فلقد دفعت لوري بزهرة ثالثة لتقيد أنثوية الورود وزهرة حجر الدم على طريقة “لا يفل الحديد إلا الحديد”
والبنفسج كزهرة تختلف رائحته عن أوراق الزهرة وكذا عن جذورها
فالزهرة رائحتها خشبية رصينة قوية ربما تفوق قوتها أخشاب الأرز
لتعود لوري بالعطر لأجواء تقترب من عطر توم فورد بلاك فيوليت
أما قلب العطر فيسيطر عليه الفيتيفير والتونكا
الفيتيفير”النجيل الهندي”: عشب اخضر عطري منعش، جاف، خشبي، ثابت وثقيل يمكن أن يستخدم كمثبت عطري لغيره من الزيوت العطرية الخفيفة، يتحد جيدا مع الجلود والأخشاب
أما التونكا”: فنوع من التوابل، تجمع بين روائح القرفة والزعفران واللوز والقرنفل. يتم أيضا استخدام حبوب عادة كبديل للفانيليا، لها تأثير بودري حلو مكثف، تتناغم جيدا مع التبغ والعنبر وخشب الصندل والبتشول واللافندر
فالقلب بهذا خشبي بودري سبايسي
وهذا سيكون جاذبا لأطراف وبقايا الافتتاحية المتناغمة معه بشكل رائع
أخشاب البلوط والصندل والفانيلا هي مكملات فاتنة ستعطي العطر لمحات حلوة تخرجه عن الاغراق في القوة والجفاف.
القاعدة المكونة من: المسك البودري وجذور السوسن والألديهيدات والجلود والكاكاو
أيضا هي مزيج داعم للقلب الذي اتحد بالافتتاحية
فشخصية العطر تبدأ عندما تمتزج الافتتاحية بالقلب
وهي التي ستسيطر على عبق العطر حتى نهايته
العطر جميل وأنيق وذو شخصية دافئة ومبهجة ولكن في رصانة وهدوء وعمق

A bright, slightly old school florals and frankincense scent over a solidly structured wood base. It shares DNA with Nostalgie in the old-school French perfumery sense, but it tells a more complex story through the use of a soft resins and woody, fruity notes.
The florals strike me as being purple in hue, maybe leaning a little rosy, but still relatively transparent to allow clearance for the heart and base to shine through. Although gourmand chords are supposed to be present, I don’t really pick up them too much, but I can draw out notes of cedar and maybe a touch of grainy suede. After ten minutes or so, the it all settles into place, and whet you get is a spirited bouquet against the textured backdrop of the leather that casts the florals into stark relief.
The overall impression here is convoluted, but it somehow works. In the same way the brand’s scents are blended with such stringent precision, what’s consolidated here are aspects of chypre, oriental, gourmand, and incense—genres that, while somewhat complimentary, feel like they would clash when fused in such a way. But the merger is better than it sounds, and the scent casts a rosy glow that very naturalistic and slightly stem-like over subtle woody textures while managing to keep powder levels to a respectable minimum.
Although this isn’t necessarily to my personal taste, fans of traditional French perfumery, bitter rose, and brisk florals in general should certainly have plenty to chew on. It’s a clean, fresh affair, but with enough interest to allow it to stand head and shoulders above the artillery of floral scents that continuously flood the industry.

Wow, great violet! It’s woody and powdery and floral, I can pick out the vetyver and rose. Smells very ‘niche’!
I almost broke my head thinking what it reminds me of so much? until it finally hit me – Stephen Jones perfume! You know, that clean powdery futuristic violet-wood type. But Stephen Jones is drier, cooler and more goth. This one is much sweeter, more conventional, but still lovely.

Not for me. This has a strong chemical smell on me. Something in it just doesn’t agree with my nose. Maybe i should wait until the drydown but, sometimes a fragrance is too much to tolerate until then. I guess if you like scents such as 24 fambourgh you will like this one too.I don’t know what it is about this one that i don’t like and others love. Try before you buy is my suggestion. I am sure it is very well made, if i loved it then it would be well worth spending the coins for a bottle as it lasts quite long.

This lovely perfume that had me smelling my arm again and again. It has a quiet authority to it. The longevity was moderate, and it’s almost a skin scent on me. Different scents would waft up to my nose as I wore it..some lovely musk, some lovely flowers (blended so nicely) some lovely on so light vetiver. This is an amazing perfume and I am glad to have it.

To Dream is exquisite. At first I smelled a powdery chocolate/vanilla/almond accord that was to die for right off the bat. As it settled, I could smell a handful of fragrant rose petals. Sweet and tender violets crept in soon after, where they remained for the length of wear.
This perfume is just delicious, with that borderline gourmand thing going for it (but don’t forget it has flowers!). It smells so familiar. It distinctly reminds me of Christmas. I can’t explain why, since there are no spices, apple, or cranberry in it or anything else that should remind me of the Holidays. In any case, To Dream could be a marvelous choice to wear to the Nutcracker Ballet.

I’m a novice, so excuse my lack of vocabulary here… for instance, I don’t know what “heliotrope” smells like.
However, I highly recommend To Dream. For me, it’s a mind-blowing scent. I love incense, spice, violets and roses. I wouldn’t have thought to look for a scent that combined them. I love the opening blast of hot, dry incense. It’s a different kind of sensory experience that just smell – it’s temperature and texture… then I smell honey. It dries down to honey and some sweet delicate flowers.
KireeZeme – :
The first things I smell are lemony frankincense, cedar, and a strong violet note. The woody-resinous component of the scent is complex, since it includes a touch of sandalwood and a unique note that I can’t identify. I can only conclude that it’s the oak that’s mentioned on the SSS website. Whatever it is, it blends perfectly with the violet, creating more than the sum of the parts.
Within an hour, however, all of the woody notes that I liked so much have been hijacked by the gigantic violet, which persists for the remainder of the time. Sillage is moderate, and the violet scent lasts over 8 hours on skin. I find a lot of violet/ionone scents off-putting, but To Dream is one that I could probably wear, albeit with less enthusiasm than the purely woody-resinous SSS creations, which are some of my all-time favorites.

Powdery violet with woody orientals. Nice but not for me.
Edit: missk’s review is spot on in every way. But still, this scent is too dry/masculine/woody powdery for me.
Aleksandr562 – :
To Dream, what on earth can I say? Your complexity and unconventional nature has me both perplexed and captivated. There are many dynamic components and character to be found in this particular composition.
I expected a pretty violet fragrance, done to perfection, with subtle woody undertones and soapy, crisp powderiness. But this fragrance is not so straight-forward.
To Dream opens with a fizzy champagne accord, with a touch of fruity pear juice, not unlike Guerlain’s Champs Elysees. On paper this opening is most prominent, however on my skin the scent gets straight-down to business, with unsweetened violet and woods.
The woods are quite resinous and bold at first, a tad medicinal, however the violet, rose and heliotrope smooth the scent into something deliciously dusty and sensual. The vanilla note is only slight, as the cedar, oak and suede notes tend to overpower.
It’s a delightful fragrance, despite being quite reserved. The opening may be strong, but the drydown has a rather intimate projection. It could have lasted a little longer on my skin, but luckily that was my only objection to this fragrance.
Ambery and musky incense rounds off this fragrance in a polite yet attractive manner. There’s a hint of oily buttery-ness throughout that also creates an interesting texture. Vetiver finishes To Dream with a dry and grassy feel which I think captured this unisex fragrance well. I highly recommend.

I’m coming to this after just reviewing Fleur Oriental by Miller Harris, which also has a strong heliotrope presence. In both the almond aspect is dominant. In ‘to dream’, you will detect this throughout.
This is a light, floral scent that lasts in the 3-4 hour range. It is soft and romantic, floating just above nostalgia. Certainly more of a gourmand, but not so much that it gets stinky, which I thank the reserved, woody base for.
IMO this is one of her more ‘commercially accessible’ offerings, I can see it appealing to a wide audience.
