First Dream of the Year
by Floraïku
First Dream of the Year presents a clean, soft, and highly wearable scent centered around bright grapefruit and orange blossom, with a subtle undercurrent of iris. It unfolds as a refined, slightly soapy white floral with luminous citrus notes, evoking the freshness of clean linen, a sunlit summer day, or a luxurious spa. The scent is linear and stays close to the skin, with moderate sillage and no burst of power. On some skin types, it leans into a powdery, soft floral tone reminiscent of lily of the valley, while others note it as a quietly elegant, unisex fragrance that adapts subtly to masculine or feminine skin. The iris is typically faint or absent, with the orange blossom taking the lead. Despite its pleasant and calming nature, the perfume is frequently described as forgettable, safe, and lacking in depth or originality.
Pros
- +A refreshingly clean, calming scent ideal for spring or summer wear, especially in casual or daytime settings.
- +Well-balanced composition with high-quality ingredients, particularly for the citrus and floral stages.
- +Adaptable and wearable on both genders, with subtle shifts depending on skin chemistry.
Cons
- −Frequently described as underwhelming or forgettable, with minimal development and limited longevity.
- −The price is consistently seen as extremely high—often deemed unjustified for a relatively simple, well-worn olfactive formula.
- −The iris note is rarely perceived, and the scent can feel highly generic compared to other niche offerings.
