Dream Moon
by Pacifica
Dream Moon by Pacifica is a soft, sweet, woody fragrance that strongly evokes the popular Ariana Grande Cloud and Baccarat Rouge 540 scent profiles. It opens with a blend of patchouli and sandalwood, creating a slightly earthy and creamy base that quickly develops into a gourmand, marshmallow-like sweetness with subtle rose notes. The dry down is defined by a warm, woody sandalwood and a soft, powdery sweetness that feels more natural and less synthetic than many of its noted counterparts. While the overall scent quality is generally pleasant and ethereal by design, it lacks consistent longevity—most users report it fading quickly within an hour, especially on the skin. The projection is moderate, and the fragrance performs differently across bodies, often becoming more wood-forward and less sweet than expected. Despite this, it remains a favorite among fans of sweet, fluffy gourmands who seek a cruelty-free, affordable alternative with a cleaner formulation that avoids the plasticky or medicinal undertones found in some original fragrances.
Pros
- +Affordable and cruelty-free formulation with clean ingredients, ideal for those seeking a natural alternative to high-end scents.
- +Faithfully captures the fluffy, sweet, woody essence of Cloud and BR540 without the synthetic plastic note, making it more tolerable for sensitive skin.
- +Performance, though weak, is often reported as better on clothing than on skin, making it practical for touch-ups or layering.
Cons
- −Extremely short longevity on skin—most users report it fading within 30 to 60 minutes despite moderate sillage.
- −Note performance is inconsistent and doesn’t always align with the listed accords; rose and patchouli are rarely perceived as described.
- −Many users report it lacks depth and personal connection, with some finding the sweetness cloying or the dry down too flat or disappearing quickly.
