Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 24 July 2016 12 Comments

Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream

Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury will launch her debut fragrance, Scent of a Dream, next month. Scent of a Dream is a floral chypre, and will be fronted by Kate Moss.

Featuring psychoactive magic molecules, erotic floral extracts, and a mood-enhancing joy aura – SCENT OF A DREAM is a perfume that acts as a portal for LOVE, LIGHT, POWER, POSITIVITY and SEX!

Scent of a Dream was inspired by a layered blend of oils that Tilbury had been wearing for years. It was developed by perfumer François Robert, with notes of lemon, peach, black pepper, saffron, mandarin, bergamot, tuberose, jasmine, frankincense, violet, patchouli, fire tree, Iso E Super, hedione and ambroxan.

Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml.

    That’s a hell of a lot of notes. But then it is psychoactive? I’ll sniff it if I see it. Not optimistic.

    She has a store in Covent Garden, but how many make up stores do you need?

      Perhaps it takes LOTS of psychoactive magic molecules to make a portal?

      Francois Robert is a good perfumer. He made the perfumista favorite Plum for Mary Greenwell, if that makes anybody more optimistic.

    Erotic flower extracts? Really?

    I guess since flowers are the reproductive organs of plants, yeah, sure, why not?

    That is some cah-razy perfume writing, though. Someone doesn’t know how to say no to that extra hit of acid.

      It’s crazy enough that I enjoyed it rather than rolling my eyes. If you’re heading for the top, you might as well go on over.

    That makes sense, given MG is a makeup artist as well, and I believe they are friends, or have at least known each other/worked together forever. Plum wasn’t exactly my thing, but it was nicely done.

    And Kate Moss definitely seems to be her muse, she mentions her a fair bit in the videos for her makeup range.

    I’ll make a point of trying this if I ever see it, psychoactive magic molecules notwithstanding.

      Plum was not my thing either, but lots of people loved it. He did Lemon too.

    I like the idea that it’s based on oils she personally wore, I think a personal touch like that is a nice touch since literally everyone/thing is coming out with a fragrance lately. It just makes it more interesting and it makes me more apt to try it!

    And the poster is beautiful.

    I have seen a picture of the bottle on Vogue UK’s instagram and it looks absolutely beautiful. I wasn’t so sure of who I would like it, with just the ad, but I was really happy to see that it has a vintage glam feeling to it, without looking cheap.
    The notes sounds different and divine 🙂

    Oh, Charlotte Tilsbury! Her makeup palettes and and Magic Cream truly are wonderful and quite expensive, and recalls a certain halycon day of being very glamorously painted. It should be very interesting to smell the perfume- those notes sound more rich boho-hippie than anything. Given she is from Ibiza, that does not surprise me.

    In the UK it is being promoted as having hedione specifically because that ‘boosts your pheromones’ and makes you more attractive. A classic piece of perfume industry nonsense. Despite that I would go a bit out of my way to test it….

    And this is how it is described in detail today on the Holt Renfrew site:

    Top Notes (Joy): Lemon, peach, black pepper, saffron, mandarin, bergamot. Fresh and invigorating, this confidence-boosting aura develops over 15 minutes.
    Heart Notes (Fleurotic): Muguet, orange flower, rose oil, tea rose, green ivy, magnolia, tuberose, jasmine, frankincense, violet, patchouli. Intoxicating floral extracts trigger desire and resonate over five hours.
    Base Notes (Psycho-active): Fire tree, Iso E super, hedione, ambroxan, precious woods, cistus, amber, castoreum musks. The pheromone notes are activated by body heat, lasting up to nine hours.

    So, if it doesn’t live up to the specified time projections can I return it as flawed product?
