Floraiku First Dream of The Year EDP

Description

First Dream of The Year captures hatsuyume: the first dream of the New Year in Japanese tradition, said to set the tone for the months ahead. Perfumer Aliénor Massenet built it as a metaphorical blank page under Mount Fuji at dawn: bright grapefruit opening into orange blossom over a quiet iris base. Part of Floraiku's founding 2017 haiku collection, it's one of the house's lightest, most sunrise-optimistic scents.

FAQ

Is First Dream of The Year unisex?
Yes, it's worn by all genders, the orange blossom-iris pairing skews soft rather than gendered.

How long does it last and how does it project?
It's a lighter build: roughly 4-6 hours with soft, close-to-skin sillage rather than a room-filling trail.

What's the dominant note?
Orange blossom, by a wide margin. Grapefruit is a brief top-note lift before the floral heart takes over.

Which Floraiku collection is this from?
It's part of the house's original 2017 launch, inspired by Japanese haiku poetry.
