just when i imagine it as a sweet - fresh - vanilla 4 a newbie, it gave me lik'a very-very oriental vanilla, than powdery also -_-

mm i'd love to look at the bottle when it shine under the lightspot, a clear blue but inside just .. unexpected.
At all ~ it was my first buying an 80ml-ori perfume for online and enough happy to keep it ^.-

So sad this is gone, It was in my opinion the BEST of the Anna Sui scents..I find the rest to all be rather boring and same-ish to each other and other brands.

Vanilla and blue color. They don't match together!
When I see blue, I expect something clean and fresh and Sui Dreams is whatever else but this.

Quite a weird experience really, think i ve met my first olfactory-blind perfume. I detect nothing at all...absolutely nothing except a barely dose dose of cedar which i was certain had some vanilla to it but i just cant smell it.
And there i was sulking and fuming at being sold a 'bad perfume' or so i thought until someone else decided they "love the perfume so much"

So in truth im disappointed after the raving reviews and exciting search for a discontinued item.

hmm.. A hint of sweetness about this perfume, kinda powdery on wear down. Not what I expected t.b.h. was expecting something more exotic.

It's an 'ok' perfume, on first sniff though it is lovely but it doesn't stick it kinda got me excited when I first sprayed it so was dissapointed that it didnt stay that way.

Just average really...

For years my favourite and still one of my all-time favourites. I have never since recieved so many comliments for a scent as i did when i used Dreams daily. Dreams is such a apropriate name, sweet and descrete and still fully an adult scent all the way. I have to add VERY sexy also!

I received a sample today.
This one is so different from the Anna Sui's I testet so far.
Smells vanilla/fruity at first, but after some time it loses the fruityness and becomes a powdery vanilla scent, sweet but still discreet. Would have liked it more, if it stayed a bit fruity as the fruity aspect gives it something special, which other vanilla EDTs don't have.

This is my favourite scent of all time.

I discovered it by accident, I was looking after a friends scarf for them and put it in my handbag, later that evening when I pulled the scarf out to give it her back, it was all I could smell, this stunning scent I had to know what it was, She told me it was this Sui dreams, I went looking for it and finally got myself some,
I think it'll always be a fragerance that i'll always have without fail :)

If you adore Sui Dreams but are looking for an alternative (because it's discontinued), PLEASE check out Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. Just received my bottle today and I am head over heels, it reminds me that much of Sui Dreams, which I consider my signature scent. :)!!!

I loved this very sweet perfume and always got comments about how I smelled like sweeties when I wore it!
And the little handbag bottle was so cute.
It didn't seem heavy at all on me.

I made the mistake of buying a bottle of this after just sniffing the bottle in the shop. I usually love strong sweet smells but this was cloying on me - and I couldn't find a time for it - it's too sickly for daytime but doesn't feel like a night-time perfume either. I have to say it lasted, it would keep coming back up to me in waves, but it was just too much, something in it made the back of my throat tingle.

Argh! Lesson learned - test something on your skin before buying the whole thing! It must have just not suited me; nobody ever asked what I was wearing!

I received this perfume as a gift, and it is one of my favorites. There is something so feminine and innocent about this scent. It makes me feel so girly and delicious. Not at all overpowering, it's actually very delicate.

The only complaint I have is that the scent doesn't seem to last very long on me. I'm not sure, but I heard that if you don't notice the scent of a perfume, it means that it is suited to you. I have had many compliments on this scent, and am very sad to hear it is discontinued. :(

I cannot express in words how much I adore this perfume. I first fell in love years and years ago and have coveted it since then. My love has not waned, and it makes me terribly sad that it's discontinued. I wonder if harassing Anna Sui will convince her to relaunch it?

The first time I smelled Sui Dreams I felt like home....such a familiar smell, and then I realised that it smells a lot like my own natural scent to me. It blends into my scent seamlessly and lingers for quite a long while. Then again, I can't usually handle very strong perfumes as they easily overwhelm my softer natural scent.

I adore cedar wood, and am not surprised to find that it's a base note here. I love that there is a sweetness but tartness to it, and in some ways it reminds me of the comfort I feel when I smell Believe by Britney Spears (though Believe is more punchy and exotic/spicy). I will be gladly willing to do trades or buy bottles odd of anybody....must hoard! :)

Fit for a fairy!

A playful oriental vanilla,that'll leave you warm and fuzzy.It's for all of us who liked dressing up as a child & still do.

There's a charming innocence that appeals to our inner child. A light linger of vanilla, bitter orange & nutmeg. It's soft,scrumptious & far from pretentious.

I bought Anna Sui because I remembered it as dark blue, aquatic and fresh.
But then I realized I had mixed it up with Puig's Thais and was rather disappointed.
Dreams basically smells like dusty, blue vanilla.
It is very sweet - like hard candy.
I use the matching body lotion but Dreams has almost no staying power at all.
Sometimes I wear Dreams after my evening shower or bath though as my husband loves vanilla scents.

I tested this perfume today and I think its a funny fragrance. I hate the top notes because they are too heavy and too sweet, but the dry down is nice, warm, powdery and less sweet. I think its better for teenagers, because a women will smell "silly" with this stuff, do you know what I mean? If you are a fan of britney perfumes, go on, the long lasting is better than britney's and they have the same type of smell that you find in BS perfumes.

Anna Sui's "Sui Dreams" is a woven and spun sugar ride that wraps its sweet tentacles upon your skin. This perfume is super sweet, a confectioner's dream-land. It evokes in me all images of sugar. While smelling it, I couldn't help but think of blue and pink cotton candy swirling around happily in cotton candy machines and the way the sticky sweet concoction melts on your tongue. I'm thinking "Big Rock Candy Mountains." With syrupy components such as peonies, roses, nutmeg and vanilla, no wonder this blue wonder is so sugary sweet. It's sweetness may turn many away from it, but I'm actually a sugar lover. So, I can't turn my back on this sugar-scented wonder. Modern, can be worn everyday and better suited for the winter.

I really rather like this and think that, as Anna Sui perfumes go, this one is quite superior to the other super-sweet and rather girly-childish scents she's created.
Yes, it's very heavy on the vanilla, which could explain so many people smelling 'cake', but it's far too fresh to be as dense as cake suggests. It is very youthful & unsophisticated like all the Sui fragrances, but it also works on a mature woman as a sweetly fresh and casual daytime scent.
The name is well chosen too- it's as light and carefree as a pleasant dream and as warm and cosy as the bed you dream in. Very nice indeed.

Haha..I remember this as...
"Eau de Vampire"
I wore it with a vampire costume, and the smell was very fitting.

Sweet and kinda musky.
Then again, the bottle I have is pretty old, so that might explain the musky-antiquey smell.

Beautiful fragrance, but it smells like a combination of cake and powder. SO. MUCH. POWDER. In the end, the powdery notes were a bit too much for me.

I remember when this came out in 2000, couldn't find it ANYWHERE at all, then when I FINALLY smelled it, I was IN LOVE !!! I received this as a graduation/getting into college present. I got hte 100 ml bottle and went through the whole bottle, but by the end of it, I was just done with the perfume. I've smelled it a few times since and it's just been unremarkable for me. Very similar to others out there and just doesn't do it for me.

I don't get any of this chemical vanilla, to me it smells very plesant, creamy and dreamy. Like someone has mentinoned before, the scent resembles a birthday cake. It's sweet without being too heavy and the bottle - isn't it just adorable? Like a cute little purse for a doll.

I vote 'no' for this one. I love vanilla but it smells very synthetic, syrupy and actually even a bit sickening to me in this composition. I dont detect any deepness or originality in Sui Dreams and it also smells quite cheap to me. Lower than average oriental vanilla, maybe suitable for young teens

Adorable scent. Even my mom loved it and asked me to buy it for her again. Breezy, soft, like a warm -not hot- wind, i absolutely love peony, a scent like a caress suitable for a young girl, a grandmother and all ages in between. Elegant. 12.02

I wore this fragrance for a few years and it brings back lots of memories!
I think it's a great fragrance for a teenage girl, like it was for me as it's sweet without being too sweet.
Lovely and warm.

I love vanilla in most fragrances, however in Sui Dreams I can't help feeling as if they've made the vanilla too syrupy and sugary sweet.

The opening was rather disappointing with the vanilla and fruits creating a cheap and synthetic mix. It has an almost soapy quality to it which doesn't seem to work well as a perfume.

As might be expected, this is a rather girly fragrance, most likely aimed at young consumers.

In the pictures the bottle looks quite pretty, however in real-life the bottle is cheap, plastic and tacky. The blue juice also stains clothes.

I don't know of anyone that wears Sui Dreams, but in my personal opinion this is light enough and childish enough to be worn by young girls.

Must say that I'm disappointed that such a high price tag has been placed on such a cheap smelling fragrance. Certainly not something that I would personally buy.

Lovely bottle, but the juice isn't impressing. Boring combination of fruits and musk, too sweet, cloying, doesn't change a bit.

I had it when i was 13 and i fell in love with it! It is a rare perfume with and exotic twist. I also love the bottle, i can buy a perfume just for the bottle but i bought this one because it was hypnotizing, throughh the time of using the perfume it smells diferent but not bad i think it happens with every perfume, the problem is not the perfume, is the nose.

I haven't smelled this in about 5 years, but when I thought about it, my stomach immediately started to turn. Maybe it's the nutmeg that makes things kind of weird, but something just seems off. And I don't find it at all like Burberry Brit other than a vanilla note. I love Brit (I'm wearing it now) but could never bring myself to wear Anna Sui Dreams. Shudder.

Sui Dreams is a deliciously sweet fragrance, the sweetness of iced vanilla cookies, sugar diamonds and victoria sponge cake...its like a summer tea party with pink rose teacups, soft cupcakes with light blue frosting and a gentle breeze in the air carrying the sweet aroma around the garden..it really is a heavenly dream in a beautiful, unique bottle..this has been my favourite since I was 13 and now at 18 I still absolutely adore it, its one of the rare fragrances that makes me smile :) and I must say even though certain people love to be insulting about fragrances even though they know theres bond to be women who love them, I'm GLAD because it means its a rare, unique fragrance thats not widely worn, who'd want to be one of the "in" crowd anyway :)

I was very curious about this perfume, I just love creative, novel, and surprising scents. The first application- I felt it could be keen and delightful. I liked the sharp and spicy opening notes, I liked the strong floral heart, even with itś overwhelming peony and freesia combination. The drydown, being all vanilla, accented by sandalwood and musk was just fine by me-a classic finish. I thought the perfume very light, so, I dabbed a few more drops. The second application presented deadened notes. The lively mix turned sour and putrid. Ideas of floral floor cleaner, toilet bowl hangers, bathroom disenfectants, fabric softener, and hospital sanitation sprays- all attacking a cheap synthetic vanilla body spray danced in my mind. The second application brought about frightening thoughts of Madness or GucciRush 2---gone horribly wrong! For sure, Dreams does not resemble those perfumes in notes or fragrance- but in philosophy of style and clever twists. Curiosity killed this cat...the back of my throat is burning like when I scrub the shower tile with bleach.... ..not all surprises are good...Dreams brings on nightmares!

Nice warm, sweet scent but it does remind me of another fragrance. It's killing me cause I can't think of which one right now but it'll come to me. Anyway the bottle is cute as can be and the and the smell is great, very comforting. It's a gentle relaxing scent, very vanilla. The peach mixed with the vanilla make it very soft, milky even. At the end it gives a very light touch of anise. Not overwhelming at all, in fact, I wish it had more of it. This is not a spicy scent like others might think. Yes, there's some spicy notes but there all barely there. Just giving the perfume a touch of every note without being overwhelming.

Sui Dreams is a soft warm scent, sweet but not cloying. Even in hot, humid weather, it doesn't turn on you like some florals can. Perfect for the office or anywhere where you don't want your perfume to intrude on other people's space (ie: cinema, restaurant).

When I smelled this stuff in the shop today, it smelled so familiar. I kept thinking and thinking and then it came to me... pink cake frosting! It smells like a birthday cake to me, I wanted to eat it :) Although it smells delicious, I would not want to wear it. Too much like food.
