Midsummer Dream is a women’s eau de parfum by ESSNCE, released in 2023.
The fragrance belongs to the floral-fruity family, combining the juicy freshness of fruit with the soft, romantic character of flowers.
It is a perfume for those who enjoy distinctive compositions with a vibrant personality and a beautiful sillage.
The Swedish brand ESSNCE creates women’s, men’s and unisex fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
Midsummer Dream fits perfectly into this modern concept: it is easy to perceive, yet has a very powerful sillage, making it impossible to overlook.
Its name seems to promise a summer story — airy, blooming and filled with sweet fruity nuances.
The composition opens with bright grapefruit, juicy pear and raspberry. A citrus spark refreshes the fruity accord, while raspberry adds a soft berry sweetness.
The opening is energetic and appealing, with a noticeable balance between tartness and delicate juiciness.
As it develops, Midsummer Dream becomes more floral and feminine.
Apple blossom creates the impression of a fresh garden, jasmine adds white-floral expressiveness, rose forms a romantic heart, and violet lends the composition a light powdery nuance.
As a result, the fragrance gradually moves from a vivid fruity opening to a soft floral character.
The dry-down is built around cedar and musk.
The woody note adds a slightly dry structure and helps balance the fruity sweetness, while musk makes the sillage feel smoother and more lasting.
In the base, the fragrance retains its feminine character but becomes calmer and more composed.
Midsummer Dream is suitable for walks, meetings, dates and festive occasions when you want to highlight your mood and leave a memorable trail.
Its floral-fruity character feels especially natural in spring and summer, although its powerful sillage also makes it suitable for cooler seasons.
In warm weather, it is best to test the composition cautiously so that its presence remains comfortable.
The exact recommended amount of Midsummer Dream to apply to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
Given its very powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess how it develops on your own skin; on fabric, the fragrance may last longer and smell more pronounced.
Before applying it fully, it is worth testing the composition on a small area of clothing and allowing it time to develop.
If you enjoy feminine fruity-floral fragrances with a romantic mood, you could try Dior J'adore for comparison.
At the same time, Midsummer Dream has a personality of its own: it stands out with a juicy grapefruit-and-berry opening, an emphasis on apple blossom and an expressive musky-woody base.
The perfumer behind this release has not been named, nor have any other concentrations of Midsummer Dream been specified.
However, the note pyramid conveys the fragrance’s idea quite clearly: sun-ripened fruits, a blooming garden and a noticeable sillage that makes the composition distinctive and striking.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes feature grapefruit, pear, and raspberry. This combination creates a juicy, fresh, and slightly sweet opening with a bright citrus accent.
Apple blossom, jasmine, rose, and violet unfold at the heart. The floral accord sounds soft, romantic, and multifaceted, blending the sheer freshness of a blooming garden with delicate powdery notes.
The base is built around cedar and musk. Cedar adds a dry, woody depth to the composition, while musk enhances the smoothness and expressiveness of the very pronounced sillage.
