Speedy Review: Lazy Dream edp, by GHOST.

Comforting & calming

 Lazy Dream is a floral gourmand fragrance that balances sweetness with freshness. Not just a fragrance but a full mood sensation. Calming yet energising soft yet confident it is a scent that feels like your aura elevated.

The composition is designed to feel calming yet energizing, modern and wearable without excessive sweetness.

I recently bought Peachy Dream and enjoy it a lot, so I have been researching the other two fragrances in the collection and today I'm taking you on a dive into the one which reads as the most appealing on in the new GHOST Dream trio. 

My immediate summary boiled down to that coconut lovers need to check out Lazy Dream, and people who don't like it also need to take note that this is likely not going to be a fragrance that they'll enjoy since the coconut water is something that appears thoughout the entire weartime. For a little while it is paired with orange, which is quite beachy cocktail. 

Apart from the listed freesia, jasmine and peony, I separate orange blossom in the gentle floral bouquet at the heart of the fragrance. Sometimes I can separate the delicate fresh fig as well, but sometimes it's too soft to fully stand out.  All of the florals are enveloped in a cream & vanilla blend, which is built over a base of salty pistachio & cedarwood, to add a little depth to the fragrance and tone down the sweetness. Whisps of the smooth coconut come &  thoughout the weartime.

The longevity and projection are both similar to Peachy Dream, as in being like a posh body mist in overall strength. Good-but-not-great; I'm getting an average of between 5 to 6 hours, with a mild projection - soft, but not a skin-scent. Quieter than Peachy Dream, with around the same weartime range. 

Officially listed scent notes: Coconut Water, Orange Oil, Fig, Jasmine, Freesia, Peony, Pistachio, Vanilla, Cream and Cedarwood.

I find Lazy Dream to be as pleasant a daytime & lounge fragrance as Peachy Dream is now, but I think that Peachy Dream will wear well during the colder months, whilst the softer aura and long coconut note is fairly beachy which makes Lazy Dream seem like more of an exclusively spring/summer fragrance to me. So Lazy Dream is going into second place for now, which I wasn't expecting - I thought that I would really enjoy this much more, after researching the scent notes. 

I don't regret picking this up as I can happily wear this in public, and I've been spritzing myself with it at bedtime quite a bit too. Like with Peachy Dream, Lazy Dream is mood boosting, which is what it claims to be for ‐ peaceful and, yes, comforting. I don't feel that the full price is quite worth the longevity and projection for this, but if I see it on offer when my bottle is empty I'll possibly consider a repurchase, but it isn't a must-have for me. 

Lazy Dream is available at The Fragrance Store and Debenhams for £25.
