Latest Reviews of Sweet Oriental Dream

I think it's pretty cool! It's a great one to wear to bed, just dabbed on lightly. The almond and vanilla really come out towards the end and makes it very soothing and comforting. Almost reminds me of hugging a newborn baby or a puppy, that indescribable feeling!

The opening is too powdery but after 15 minutes it becomes very pleasant and sweet. I am a fan of honey so it's obvious i like this perfume. After the drydown Sweet Oriental Dream is honey at its best.
A good perfume but i don't find it that oriental. Longevity is very big and sillage is above moderate.

This isn't exclusively a rose scent, nor is it entirely a gourmand. It's a wicked blend of both. It seems to see-saw it's profile.
Much later it becomes a vanilla-rose blend that mimics patchouli. Almost pure powdery. Delicious!

So when I first tried Sweet Oriental Dream this many years later, it brought tears to my eyes, because it was that smell from my teenage bedroom. Objectively, it's super strong and a lot of the same great accord, all almond-y and incense-y, if obviously synthetic. It's certainly one that's going to be lethal with over-application, so I'm using samples I can dab until the day when I finally buy a full bottle and brave spraying it. And I will buy a bottle, for although SOD smells just like it could be a BPAL scent - and I had my hopes for a substitution - I've now tried hundreds of BPALs, and can confidently say that there isn't one in the catalog quite like it.
The last time I went to visit my mom, who lives in same house, I bought a new pink party light and lay there in my old bedroom wearing this perfume since that old chocolate cake incense is long gone.
