A perfume with substance and old-school style. The opening is a bit sharp and potent, which might surprise or even bother you at first, but the dry-down is incredible. After a few minutes, it’s pure elegance and sophistication with a significant trail. It smells very much like Chanel No. 5, Joya de Myrurgia, or Bijan. L.T. Piver is a very historic house, and while this fragrance takes us back to that golden past, I feel it’s totally appropriate for today for cold days, movie nights, concerts, and special occasions. Rêve d’Or isn’t easy to find; I picked it up at a traditional drugstore whose owner has no idea what treasures she has on the shelves.

Review of a 2015 bottle, identical to the photo. At first, it smells like a Habit Rouge, with an aldehydic, citrusy, and spicy opening that lasts about 20 minutes. I detect lots of clove, tea rose, and geranium, more so than vetiver or jasmine. It evolves beautifully: the sharp opening softens and it settles in slowly. A soft powdery touch and the sandalwood make it very wearable and unisex, almost like a barbershop lotion. It doesn’t smell artificial despite the IFRA regulations. A historic house since 1774 that still produces it with the same blue and gold box design, Bakelite-style cap, and metal seal. Perfect for those who hate sprays and love splash formats. Ridiculously cheap for its quality, versatile, and unpretentious. Recommended if you’re looking for something soft and ‘old school’ yet current. With it, you smell great, perfect for close-range wear. Cheers.

I’ve been looking for this fragrance for a while now since I tried it before but couldn’t find it here. The wait was totally worth it: it’s a cologne that goes with everything, even for formal events. It has a woody and spicy note that lasts several hours. I absolutely love it!
