Ode au Reve
by Yves Rocher
Ode au Rêve by Yves Rocher is a soft, warm, and introspective fragrance centered around sandalwood, with a delicate balance of vanilla, musk, and floral notes. The opening features a prominent sandalwood presence enriched with hints of incense and jasmine, giving it a slightly powdery, tranquil character. The scent evolves into a creamy, musky, and lightly vanilla-drydown, making it ideal for cozy, contemplative moments—especially during evening wear or in the winter months. It has a quiet, intimate sillage and wears close to the skin, earning it a reputation as a dreamy, personal perfume rather than a statement scent. Some note it’s reminiscent of Gloria by Cacharel or With Love by Hilary Duff, indicating a comfort-driven, sensual fragrance with a minimalist, oriental-inspired profile. Despite its lack of strong projection or long-lasting performance, the fragrance remains beloved for its elegant simplicity and ease of wear.
