I received Dreams and Nightmares as a complimentary sample when I purchased Seratonin Spritz. I am trying really hard not to buy every scent, but this is really stunning. It opens bright and fresh, but the dry down is warm and a little spicy on my skin. I�m really enjoying it. I tend to like moodier scents, if you are like me - I think you�ll enjoy this too.

Wow. Wow wow wow. This perfume is insane. At first smell, it feels very fresh. I can smell the eucalyptus, cardamom, and bergamot. It honestly feels both dark and moody, AND bright and fresh. It feels like a great spring or fall perfume. Like a rebirth or a death. Holy moly, I am at a loss for words.

So beautiful, and unique bright citrus, opening, with an undertone of earthiness. Grounding and meditative.

Dreams and Nightmares is the perfect summer to fall transitions end. It is still bright, well offering some of those lovely darker notes. This is also going to be great for our monsoon days. I can't wait to explore more from this house

Ok firstly - such cute discovery set packaging! Each dabber came in a mini, sealed envelope and tucked in a branded dust bag.

We got a classic, moody rain break during the Seattle summer stretch and thought it would be a perfect day to try Dreams & Nightmares. Off the first sniff I could envision a thunderstorm. I love a petrichor scent but this is the first time I feel like I really got some darker weight to it. The opening smells ever so slightly humid and metallic like a wet chain link fence from a distance.

I sprayed under my clothes and my pulse points. While the pulse points reveal the earth’s fragrant sigh following a stormy, subconscious crescendo and the remaining gusts of wind lapping up against the shivering flora, a storm still brews beneath my turtle neck. Almost like a draft whistling through the cracks of a mossy cottage who’s tenant favors French milled soap. The wind chimes dance in electric anticipation for the ozonic orchestra to begin. You can still smell the top notes popping and bursting in the outlying atmosphere. No need to be afraid - it’s all just a dream. :)

Beautiful work, L’Epoque. Just beautiful.
