Lost in a Dream

Lost in a Dream, inspired by Navitus Parfums Lost In A Dream (2023)

Lost in a Dream smells like a pastry counter. A milky accord with cinnamon, orange and bergamot opens it, the citrus there mainly to stop the milk feeling heavy. The heart is where the bakery comes through: buttery croissant, almond, fig milk, a little coffee and fluffy marshmallow, with jasmine and orchid in the background. Vanilla, tonka bean and tolu balsam (a resin with a cinnamon and toffee smell) deepen the base, and oak and sandalwood keep it grounded.

About the original

Navitus Parfums released Lost In A Dream in 2023 as an extrait, with Bertrand Duchaufour as perfumer and Paulina Schar as creative director. Navitus is an independent niche house that works with named perfumers and sells through its own site and specialist perfumeries. CaFleureBon's review compared it to an almond croissant fresh from the oven.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Navitus Parfums stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

It is clearly sweet and leans powdery in the drydown, a comfort scent more than a fresh one. The brand places it in autumn and spring. If milk, marshmallow or almond notes tend to feel cloying on you, this will be too much.

On skin it ends on vanilla, tonka and tolu balsam over sandalwood, oak and musk, sweet and slightly powdery.

Does Lost in a Dream really smell like a croissant?

It has a croissant accord with almond and milk, and CaFleureBon’s review compared it to an almond croissant. Vanilla and tonka make it sweeter than real pastry.

Is Lost in a Dream very sweet?

Yes, it is a gourmand built on milk, marshmallow, vanilla and tonka. Coffee and woods add some depth, but sweetness stays central.
