Estee Lauder will release a third fragrance in the travel retail-exclusive range that started with Emerald Dream in 2007 and continued with Bali Dream this year. The new scent, Brasil Dream, launches under the tag line "Go where it's warm, exciting and full of life”.
Brasil Dream features notes of guava, pineapple, orange blossom, neroli, night-blooming jasmine, Gardenia Brazil NaturePrint, lemon, bergamot, patchouli, sandalwood and coconut milk.
Estee Lauder Brasil Dream will be available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum. (via moodiereport)
This sounds interesting! Guava? Yum. Haven't sniffed Bali or Emerald. Were they any good?
My mind keeps wanting to read it as BASIL Dream. ;0
~~Dawn
Me too!
I only sniffed Emerald very quickly, and hardly remember it. Never tried the Bali. Sorry I'm no help!
This sounds like a delicious desserts. I would definitely try it, but am leery that it may be too adolescently sweet.
Ditto. In fact, I read it as Basil Cream at first. I thought Robin was starting a new line in recipes.
I sniffed Bali Dream and thought it was quite attractive, but then I thought the same about Emerald Dream, which seems to be universally despised! I don't like the bottle design – it reminds me of those plastic bags you freeze water in for ice-cubes. (Do you get those in the US, with all those big ice-making fridges?)
I don't know if you get those bags here, but I've never seen them!
They usually appear at the regular counters after awhile, I think. You can keep the pineapple 😉
Why only guava?
They could have also used another Brasil's rainforest plants on the composition, like Andiroba, Priprioca.
I've never seen them in the US, but I brought some home from England. They are great!
Don't ask me! EL never asks my advice 😉
Pleasures is so wearable. But you're right — they don't usually go for sheer at EL.
To me, the bottle looks like an air mattress. I should be floating in a pool, wearing Brasil Dream and sipping a mai tai.
I do so love guava – addicted to the Pacifica guava soap.
The Emerald Dream is very green to me and reminds me of Calyx. I quite like it and regret not buying a bottle when I had the chance. I will have to keep my eye out for it. I do have Bali Dream and, although it is ok, it doesn't wow me. I would desribe it as inoffensive.
Sounds good to me.
I haven't smelled that one…
You can still find the ED here online at the discount stores, but I know that doesn't help you any.
I own Perfume do Brasil Priprioca by Natura and I love it.
Bahiana by MPG was lovely too.
I'd buy all Brazil inspired perfumes, it's a country I'm fond of.
That makes Emerald Dream the odd one out. It's not named after a city.
C'mon, it's the Wizard of Oz' Emerald City.
I love Bahiana too. Wish Natura was distributed here…
Other than the cap, the bottle is nicer in person (I was at the airport last night).
How did it smell?
I didn't try it–my wrists were full of stuff I wanted to test–they had Kouros Sport and Dior Homme Sport!
Ah, thanks!
I dropped by my local Nordie's to check when it'd be available. The EL SA hadn't heard of it. Will check back later…..
It's a travel retail exclusive, and hasn't even launched there yet. I'd guess that if it does go into regular stores, it won't be until late 2009.
Damn! i thought it read: BASIL dream!!! i am looking for a strong basil note with no citrus….
Not easy to find w/o citrus, in fact, nothing comes to mind.
This is an ancient thread… but I’m going to add to it today.
I’m a young 50 (no one believes my age…) and friends tell me I have a ‘sparkly pink’ aura. So, that may give you a frame of reference to my comments below.
I have Emerald Dream, Bali Dream and Brasil Dream. The bottles define them as a series, and fit nicely in my hand. I quite like the packaging.
As for the scents, I love them all in their own right:
1. My body chemistry seems to gel with Emerald Dream – at first it’s a little abrasive (whoa horsey!) but it softens quickly and the fragrance is just lovely on my skin. It really suits my personality. I wear this when I am looking for a fresh scent that has some oomph to it… ie: to a business meeting.
2. Bali Dream is a summer scent – it’s February 2020, and it disappears almost instantly in the cold Toronto winter… but it is lovely and softer than the other 2 ‘Dreams’.
3. Brasil Dream is divine – sexy, grown up, exotic and subtle… it has a kick that is so satisfying, and some serious staying power. Definitely not for little girls – the lingering scents are Patchouli, Sandalwood and Neroli… a delicious combination.
