Dreams Unlimited The Body Shop for women

I smelled this perfume and thought: "I know this one!" Yes, because to my nose it smells like many, many other scents that are out there, yet are mostly anonymous because they leave no impact.

I do smell the black-currant and the orange, faintly - than it's like a wave of water sweeps all the iris and the yummy harmony that this scent COULD have....away. It's a shame and to my nose a failed attempt. Alas, not for me.

The Body Shop has some wonderful floral scents: Neroli, white musk, rose etc. But when they try to make a "mix" its like they don't know what they're doing.
I adore lots of their gourmand and floral body butters/lotions, and love teaming them up with the matching body-mists or perfumes. That's where The Body Shops forte is: a yummy layering experience at a friendly price. Although I am sad that the quality and choice of products is diminishing. And that beloved products get discontinued very often.

I am really suprised that so many people disliking it-this is fresh floral that has a slightly aquatic feeling. I think its perfect for summer. Now discountinued Aqua Lily did bear some simularities to Dreams Unlimited but I think I like Dreams Unlimited better. Someone mentioned Cool Water as well-I have small bottle of Cool Water and Cool Water is much more unisex, citrusy and zesty to my nose. When I purchased my bottle of edp, I was given matching lotion for free. However, even layered, it doesn't last more than 1.5 hour. I find also that it doesn't project much or have much siliage. I like it but don't love it

Too sharp.. Yuck !! Even worse on The dry down, too masculine !! Double yuck !!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Used to wear it all the time last year until it ran out....Spicy and still have some fresh clean notes! Gorgeous :D

I love love love this stuff as simple as it is :) .. smells like (nevia happy time body lotion) tender & refreshing Blackcurrant juice ..

Lasting power & sillage are good (if you want more, spray more)..

OMG, this is so, so bad. Just awful. Tried the body lotion on my hands, couldn't even stand that. And I'm normally not very sensitive to fragrance.

I love this one! Very sporty and fresh. It reminds me of my favorite perfume by Björn Borg "Clean Green".

Absolutely lovely! It reminds me of Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise.

The iris is soft and sweet alongside orange and blackberry.

The cedar adds a lofty base, making it an unlimited dream scent.

Love it!


10/10

smells cheap and synthetic on me, very musky. Must be the iris in it.... try before you buy folks

this is one of those "fresh out of shower and i just used a floral shower gel" scents. i got the shower gel and body butter for christmas and am pretty pleased.

My opinion about this one is
"just another floral-aquatic" perfumes that has flooded the market recently. But the longevity is superb for the Body Shop's.
Not so impressed

The green chili note saves this fragrance from becoming 'basic.' Definitely green and herbal, Dreams Unlimited is great for warmer days. The drydown reminds me of Estee Lauder Pleasures. I have this in EDP and honestly I like it for its good sillage and longevity. Perhaps it's the green chili that holds the fragrance down and makes it last longer on skin.

My interest was certainly piqued by the notes listed on the manufacturer's card for The Body Shop DREAMS UNLIMITED:

citrus, green chili
delicate white flowers, fresh aquatic notes
soft cedarwood

Unfortunately, to my nose, the "fresh aquatic notes" completely dominate the composition, making this yet another one of those seasickness-inducing frags which I find very difficult to wear. It may be that back in the twentieth century I overdosed on Calvin Klein's ESCAPE. All I know for sure is that big fat aquatic frags, of which DREAMS UNLIMITED is certainly one, hold little appeal for me today.

If you're looking specifically for an aquatic perfume, do give this one a try, since the green chili note does seem like an innovation--and it is detectable. I love Anne Flipo, and was very excited to see that she was one of the perfumers who created DREAMS UNLIMITED, but even love cannot overcome physiology: I have to decline. Désolée.

I received this as a gift and according to the notes I should have liked it, I guess... but, well that's not the case with this one.
It's a clean and fresh floral, but the aquatic notes are just too prominent for my taste. It could be a pleasant scent, but unfortunately it ends sharp, bitter, watery, masculine and generic on me. No hint of warmth- it's the green chilli and the cedarwood I guess.
I've barely used it and I don't even see myself wearing this scent in the future.
Lasting power is good, though.

I really like this one. It is the closest thing to Roxy by Roxy (now discontinued in Canada) that I have found. It is also similar to Ralph by Ralph Lauren.

As a reviewer below said, this reminds me totally of Davidoff - Cool Water. I received this from a friend, tried and tested by her but never loved. I actually like it quite a lot...I wouldnt say that its on my "to buy" list just yet but its growing on me!
The lasting power is very good, out living the majority of other scents I own, and I have received compliments on it every time Ive worn it.

Worth a sniff :)

Wow... this is a blast of pure alcohol right out of the bottle! It is very rare that I really don't like a perfume... but I really don't like this... it hurts my nose when I spray it! I guess I will put this bottle in the guest bathroom because I don't want it anywhere near me. By the way, this was a gift, I would've never bought something like this for myself.

Wow this one reminds me a lot of Ralph (the blue one). I find it fresh, femenine , light, youthful and not overwhelming at all. It's a not expensive eau de parfum and it lasts long !
The body shop has great and unexpensive products, they're worth it !

I don't know why, but it smells totally creamy on me ._. like milk. good enough.

This perfume brings many memories with it! Such as memories of sitting in a classroom learning physics, knowing you won't get anything better than a C+! I feel sorry for the person who made this perfume, because they've put all their efforts into creating a sleepworthy Elixir of Boredom! It's the boring little sister of perfumes like The Body Shop's Aqua Lily (please note: perfume oil form only), Davidoff Cool Water Woman, and Isabella Rosellini's Manifesto. Pass this one up and get one of those if you want a good summery, aquatic fragrance.
P.S. I live in a 'warmer country' and it does not smell any better here either.

Watery cheap & synthetic mess. The Body Shop can do better than this.

this reminds me of the davidoff cool waters that my mum wears, perhaps a bit sweeter, even the bottle is really similar!

This perfume's bod lotion lasts for a really long time... really Really long time!
It smells ok, good for summer

this smells nice after the initial spray but doesn't really smell expensive to me

I think this perfume is very weird.Got the sample and my first sniff was, it was fresh and unique. The fifth, sixth sniff were, green pepper and bley sweet.

But later I still bought it. Now if I put on too much, it will smell horribly sweet. But sometimes it's okay and some of my older colleagues (female in their 30s,40s) think it's nice.

To conclude, I've got mixed feelings.

It can be sharp but this perfume transports me to a garden full of wild flowers. It smells great and perfect for summer.

A rather common and fresh scent. I'm not into aquatic kind of scents. This didn't have anything I could point you out.

Is it just me or does it smell like "Laura"? Too aquatic and in your face for me. I couldn't detect the fruits, all in all it smells just a bit tacky and old fashioned.

I tested this perfume the other day while wandering around in store to sniff all the other products. Never really cared about this one but I actually like it now.

I am very surprised to see all these bad and disappointed reviews. Wow.

I was looking for a nice aquatic for summertime use and I think this is it. Starts off fresh with a nice kick of citrus, just the right amount.
It definitely has some aquatic notes although the are not listed on this website.
The drydown is a little bit masculine to my taste, this might be the cedarwood which is usually one of my least favourite notes but in Dreams Unlimited it mixes well with white flowers so it is still nice.

I was impressed by the longevity, the fragrance actually stayed on my skin all afternoon even after washing hands.

If you are looking for a simple, nice floral aquatic, which is not too sharp, not too citrussy, with decent staying power you might want to consider this one.

Synthetic and cheap smelling. It's too much of an aquatic scent to be appealing to me in any way. Smells like a washing machine, and not in a good way.

My girlfriend has this. It smells good, but too heavy for my taste.

Its an okay scent. Remember though, its all about personal taste. Peace

Just for the record, the notes listed by the Body Shop are quite different from those listed on our database here:

(Quote from the sample)

"Inspired by life's endless possibilities, our new fragrance features upliftng top notes of citrus and green chilli, a heart of delicate white flowers and fresh aquatic notes, and base notes of soft cedarwood".

Nice smells but unfortunately it doesn't long lasting on skin. Not valued with what I paid :( but suitable for daily occasion.

A nice fragrance that really lasts a long time, someone thought it was DKNY be delicious...

A surprise to me..could be synthetic but the smell is so nice! a sexy femenine combo of florals, the important moment is in some minutes, iris and cedar mixed in a lovely balance..this is a really magnetic smell, nothing shy but not saturated..femenine, smiling, confident fragance.

Excuse me.
I agree with Sara.
To me it's a cheap smelling, generic floral aquatic.
Although has quite an impressive staying power.

reminds me of Miss Dior Cherie L'eau without the staying power-

well sarafirmino, i dont agree with you....this smells much better than LOVE ETC.
This is a sweet aquatic fragrance with some citrous scents...maybe you dont like these components but these really work on me, and i LOVE this.
this one fits teenagers, like myself, during summer but not winter, this is so beautiful.

how can a perfume smell so diferent in a postal card (before it even gets here) and from a paper strip?
my guess is that they must have put something different at the postal...

anyway, the fragrance was so weird, at the point i realized it was not a female fragrance, not a man, and either a unisex fragrance. but perhaps a home fragrance?!

however, i can garantee you one thing, my home will NOT smell like this.. and i am being nice :D

come on TBS! after your previous sucess with LOVE ETC i was expecting so much more.. then this!

I went to TBS yesterday to find myself a new perfume and I saw this brand new perfume by TBS. I tested it and it didnt really live up to my expectation. It smells sweet, but its a little too sweet for me. So i'm not gonna recommend this for teenagers but I'd rather recommend this for an evening event type of perfume. It's just not the kind of perfume you want to wear on a daily basis. It's the kind that you want to wear on a special occasion. :)

I agree with TankGirl, smells really cheap on me. Very generic. Alcohol based perfumes never work on my skin. Too bad but thank God I didn't pay for it(I won a contest.)

Tested this perfume... and it is gorgeous! There is a liquid, water element to the first scent and as it settles a wave of purple flowers grow and settle into a hidden fruit smell.

It is almost like "Beyond Paradise" By Estee Lauder, if you smell it carefully.

This perfume works well on any skin type, as long as it is moisturized often. The scented cream that comes with it works as an excellent perfume primer.

BEAUTIFUL!

Scent 9/10

Staying Power ?/10

nheeee didnt liked it. very sintethic and i actually think it smells really cheap, probably in warmer countrys it would be nice, but in the little wet britain it sucks.

today, i went to TBS and bought a lots of stuff from them
(god how i love this store ! )
:D

this is beautifull, tbs are suprising me! LOVE ETC, neroli jasmin and vanilla are the most beautifull they own. and this one, will probably be a hit

(however , i am not sure about the name -.-)
i tested it in a postal strip, and it's a beautiful combo of berries and orange!
and maybe some vanilla (too sweet it up a bit,) and white flowers... or maybe it's the just the cedar illusion

when their bottles arrive here, i will give more details! :D
