Identity and Release History

Imagine a fragrance that transports you to a world of dreams and inspiration—that’s exactly what the perfume Anna Sui Live Your Dream was conceived to be, released in 2009.

This creation from the legendary house of Anna Sui, a brand synonymous with New York glamour and unrestrained fantasy.

Although it is not part of a specific collection, its spirit perfectly reflects the aesthetics of the 2000s, when dreams seemed achievable and style was full of romance.

A women’s perfume in the form of Eau de Toilette offers a gentle and airy sound, ideal for those who appreciate lightness and elegance.

Its sillage is barely perceptible, making the fragrance intimate and unobtrusive—like a whisper of a dream that accompanies you throughout the day.

Positioning and Character

Live Your Dream is positioned as a women’s fragrance, but its universal nature can appeal to those seeking something delicate and inspiring.

It belongs to the Floral and Woody families, giving it a balance between the freshness of flowers and the warmth of woody chords.

This perfume is perfect for spring and summer days, as well as for everyday moments when you want to add a touch of dreaminess.

Unfolding on the skin, Live Your Dream starts with bright floral bursts that gradually transition into deeper and cozier shades.

Its character is a combination of innocence and strength, reminding us that dreams are worth turning into reality.

For optimal effect, we recommend applying it to pulse points, such as wrists and neck, so the fragrance gently unfolds throughout the day.

Similar Fragrances and Alternatives

If you liked Live Your Dream, it's worth paying attention to other perfumes with similar aesthetics.

For example, Narciso Rodriguez Narciso Rouge Eau de Toilette offers sensual floral notes with a woody base.

For those seeking inspiring fragrances, Mary Kay Live Fearlessly can be an excellent alternative.

And if you want something classic and airy, try Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps L'Air du Printemps.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin.

The scent is woody-aquatic, like a shadow from the forest. Deep within it, lilies of the valley hide, but with a bitterness, as if there's a swamp nearby, and you can't pass it by. The rose gets lost in all of this, like a captive in its dungeon!!
4/5

The scent is just super, I really loved it! Very interesting, just like a refreshing spring with lilies. True, the longevity isn't great, and the sillage is so-so, but it's not critical

The scarlet rose here is simply captivating, so rich and deep. Woody notes add a chic accent, but unfortunately, I didn't catch anything else. There's a hint of pepper, but it's so light that sometimes you don't even notice it at all 🌹

I should look for it, yeah. I once thought of buying it as a gift for a young relative, the bottle looks absolutely stunning, as does all of Anna Sui's packaging. But my perfumer friends talked me out of it: "Don't you dare!" - they said, like, it's for grandmas. Well, I didn't buy it, but now I want this "old lady powder" myself. And can I even have it?))

This fragrance surprised me with its woody base, which perfectly combines with bright floral accents. For autumn, it became an excellent choice for everyday wear. Although marshy notes are not felt in it, its uniqueness and attractiveness are beyond doubt
4/5

The scent is really strange, I've heard so much about it, but for me, it's like a flooded forest with mysterious creatures. They're amazing, with white lilies blooming all around, and lilies of the valley growing in the clearing. Overall, the smell seems a bit dusty and deep, like dark water
3/5

This version really looks more natural and relevant than previous ones. The scent is rosy, with a pronounced peppery note, but the water lily, alas, isn't pleasing. Because of it, the smell becomes somewhat dusty and unexpressive 😕
