Dreaming in Pomelo and the For The Scent Of It brand
Dreaming in Pomelo is a fragrance by For The Scent Of It, an American perfume brand with a modern approach to expressive compositions.
The 2024 release is an Extrait de Parfum, so its scent is perceived as rich and particularly long-lasting.
This fragrance is designed for women and men and is part of the Lucid Dream collection.
The name Dreaming in Pomelo itself sets the mood for a light reverie: citrus freshness is combined with green, floral, woody and musky nuances, while maintaining a versatile character.
The fragrance pyramid and character
The top notes open with juicy pomelo, tart rhubarb and an accent of black currant.
This opening feels fresh, dynamic and slightly cool: the fruity sweetness does not dominate, while green nuances add energy and transparency to the composition.
At the heart, a more focused and aromatic accord of lavender, pomelo blossom and vetiver emerges.
Lavender gives the fragrance a fougère facet, pomelo blossom softens the citrus sparkle, and vetiver adds a dry woody-green depth.
The base is built around amber, sandalwood and musk. As it unfolds, the fragrance becomes warmer and softer, while its rich concentration sustains a noticeable, very powerful trail.
At the same time, the woody-musky finish helps the composition maintain a balance between freshness and sensuality.
Who will enjoy Dreaming in Pomelo
This is a unisex fragrance for those who love citrus compositions with character and do not want to be limited to a simple freshness accord.
Pomelo, rhubarb and black currant make the opening energetic, lavender and vetiver add an intellectual fougère facet, while amber, sandalwood and musk create an expressive finish.
Dreaming in Pomelo is especially suitable for spring and summer, when you want to emphasize a feeling of cleanliness and lightness while retaining a noticeable perfume presence.
Thanks to its powerful trail, it is worth choosing for walks, parties and occasions where the fragrance can unfold freely; in a small space, it is best to keep the application moderate.
Longevity, application and similar fragrances
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available data.
Given its Extrait de Parfum concentration and very powerful trail, it is sensible to start with one spray on the skin, assess how it develops and add another if needed; on clothing, the fragrance is also best tested with a minimal amount.
Other concentrations of Dreaming in Pomelo are not listed in the database, so it is not possible to make an accurate comparison with an EDT, EDP or additional versions of this release.
To explore a similar fresh and woody-citrus mood, consider Oriflame Glacier, then compare how different compositions work with cool, green and musky accents.
Overall, Dreaming in Pomelo is a vibrant example of the fougère-fruity style, with a citrus opening and a warm woody-amber base.
It combines the effect of morning freshness with a rich trail and will suit those looking for a versatile fragrance with a noticeable yet unconventional character.
