The Essence of Dreams perfume collection by Tory Burch is described as “a celebration of our innermost feelings and “dreams of love, joy, freedom, magic and peace”.
These 5 Tory Burch perfumes are memories told in a story of scent, recollections of the fashion designer’s family, and places she visited, all with fond memories that leave a lasting impression.
I discovered that these fragrances are designed to be layered, so you can combine scents from the collection to create the best Tory Burch perfume blend for you!
Best Tory Burch Perfumes For Her
With an array of delicate floral notes, fruits, and seductive musks, here is my take on the best Tory Burch perfumes to consider.
1. Electric Sky Eau de Parfum
Review
Electric Sky Eau de Parfum feels energetic, fresh and clean, and I want to describe it as a pale blue, perhaps because of the name and the opening notes.
Blue sage and violet mingle with a heart of lavender, reminding me of summer, beaches, and days out. Earthy vetiver and spiritual Palo Santo finish things nicely.
Top Notes:
Blue Sage, Violet
Mid Notes:
Cactus Flower, Lavender
Base Notes:
Palo Santo Accord, Vetiver
Seasons & Longevity
Electric Sky definitely has a unisex quality to it with moderate projection and longevity of 4+ hours.
I’d recommend wearing this fragrance in the daytime during the summer, but it will also work as a bright summer’s evening fragrance.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A clean and fresh warm-weather fragrance to lift your mood |
| Cons | Maybe a little too unisex for some |
2. Divine Moon Eau de Parfum
Review
Divine Moon Eau de Parfum is a captivating sweet floral fragrance designed to evoke the serene beauty of a moonlit garden.
The fragrance opens with a refreshing and energetic burst of bergamot and tangy rhubarb. A fanfare of white floral aromas comes from ‘Lady of the Night’, known for its intensity.
Upon dry-down, the duo of sandalwood and creamy almond milk provides a smooth foundation. Their subtle presence adds depth and a touch of sensuality.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Rhubarb
Mid Notes:
Lady of the Night, Honey
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Almond Milk
Seasons & Longevity
Despite its name, the white floral notes and honeyed sweetness of Divine Moon are ideal for spring/summer daytime wear.
With its only moderate longevity, it’s a fragrance that gently accompanies you on your journey through the day, lasting 3+ hours.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Elegant white floral with honeyed sweetness |
| Cons | Performance could be better from this EDP |
3. Sublime Rose Eau de Parfum
Review
Sublime Rose Eau de Parfum takes me back to spending summers in the English countryside with my grandma, making perfumes by crushing rose petals in a pestle and mortar.
Rosewater and crisp blackcurrant take you on a journey of floral and fruity, with more floral aromas rising from rose and freesia in the heart.
Base notes of dreamwood (think of smooth wood) and earthy patchouli hover discreetly in the background to give this lovely rose perfume some depth.
Top Notes:
Blackcurrant, Rosewater
Mid Notes:
Rose, Freesia
Base Notes:
Dreamwood™, Patchouli
Seasons & Longevity
Sublime Rose is a light and refreshing everyday feminine perfume, perfect for the warmer seasons. One of my faves from this collection.
This pretty rose fragrance lasts 4+ hours, projects nicely, and feels feminine and elegant.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A very pretty rose fragrance that does not overpower |
| Cons | I would have like a little more oomph from the rose |
4. Mystic Geranium Eau de Parfum
Review
Mystic Geranium Eau de Parfum continues the floral theme, yet it’s more aromatic, earthy and musky due to a heavy dose of the star floral note, geranium.
This fragrance opens with zesty bergamot and a floral heart of lotus and earthy geranium. As this fragrance settles, it becomes musky and woody.
Top Notes:
Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Geranium, Lotus
Base Notes:
Cedarwood, Musk
Seasons & Longevity
I’m a fan of bergamot, so a nice cup of earl grey tea during a spring/summer afternoon sat in the garden comes to mind.
Alas, the performance is not incredible, so expect only 3+ hours of wear with an intimate scent bubble.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | If you love geranium fragrances, then this is worth a look |
| Cons | Not my favourite of the collection as I’m not a lover the of cedar wood |
5. Cosmic Wood Eau de Parfum
Review
Firstly I love the name, Cosmic Wood evokes early memories of searching under toadstools for fairies in the forest or calm morning walks in the woods with my dog.
The scent is unusual but in a good way. It opens with aromas of cardamom and ambrette with a heart of jasmine and sage. Eventually, finishing with woodsy vetiver.
Tory herself says this reminds her of her father. For me, vetiver is the ultimate ‘in the woods’ fragrance.
Top Notes:
Cardamom, Ambrette
Mid Notes:
Jasmine, Sage
Base Notes:
Vetiver
Seasons & Longevity
It’s quite a unisex fragrance, I’d say, pairing perfectly with autumn and spring. Again moderate projection and longevity of 4+ hours.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A delicate woody fragrance for spring and fall |
| Cons | The cardamom is quite punchy at first |
