First Dream of the Year

First Dream of the Year by Floraïku is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with grapefruit, sweet orange and petitgrain, moves into orange blossom, sambac jasmine and iris and dries down to musk and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.

Heart

Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.

Dry-down

Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
