Tommy Dreaming Women's Fragrances

Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger The perfume composed by Stephen Nilsen is unabashedly through-and-through formulaic, reasonably pretty and is meant to please the most women possible. It is a standard fruity-floral at the core which opens on some crunchy green notes in the beginning and lingers on with an oriental base of slightly spicy woods rounded off by musk and amber. The scent starts fresh becomes a bit creamy and offers a sandalwood base mixed with some hazier, glacé orris which together add a tad more mature touch to the scent. The orris becomes a bit doughy with time as it gets rolled further in vanilla and perhaps might feel comforting for some. Discreetly sharp sexy nuances emerge thanks to the woods and the musks. The white peach note is discernable as such (but less so than in the gloss where it is quite realistic) and when it starts mingling in a pas de deux with the orris, it becomes a bit more of an interesting contrast. But in the main all of these sensations retain a neutral character. The scent does not offer any asperities, twists, or depth to speak of and just delivers a decent, one assumes for most, commercial perfume. Dreaming is a remarkably mainstream perfume, the equivalent of Jane Doe’s essence captured into a fragrance, a Jane Doe dreaming furtively of being a little bit like Marilyn Monroe. For this very reason, it should appeal to a number of people who are looking for pretty, non-offensive perfumes with a discreet flirtatious edge. Notes are: white peach, tuberose, freesia, white hibiscus, white woods, and orris.
