Charlotte Tilbury is an unstoppable force and she is launching new products left right and centre. I am still reeling from the release of her Legendary Brows and Legendary Mascara so to hear she is now launching a fragrance has stopped me in my tracks. You can see the bottle of the Scent of a Dream above, and read a review of the fragrance here. The new scent will be available online and in stores from August 15th, you can sign up on Selfridges and the Charlotte Tilbury website if you want to be first in line. The uniquely shaped fragrance will be available to purchase in three sizes: 10ml (£49), 50ml (£68) and 100ml (£96). I will admit that upon first seeing the bottle, about ten minutes ago, I wasn’t too impressed. It doesn’t make me gasp in awe like a Marc Jacobs fragrance does, however Vogue describes it as being a “faceted, talisman-like flacon”. What the hell is a flacon?

A flacon is “a small, stoppered bottle, used especially for perfume”. I think the design of the bottle is supposed to immerse you back into the world of glamour and intrigue of the sixties. It is a bottle you could imagine Marilyn Monroe fondling at her vanity. Like all CT products, this fragrance is built on the secret scent she has been wearing for years. It is a sexy scent with notes of floral and sandalwood and is designed to “intice a desire you can’t control”. The ultimate man-catching fragrance perhaps. It certainly seems to be a conversation starter, Jane from British Beauty Blogger, when wearing the scent at dinner said her companion couldn’t stop smelling her arm.
The permanently delightful Kate Moss is the face of this perfume, you can see one of the photographs above, Kate is the perfect choice in my opinion. Charlotte Tilbrury is renowned across the world but she is British, so it warms my heart to see Kate Moss representing this scent. In addition, Kate has been a muse for Charlotte for some of her lipsticks and they have a great personal relationship. Thank you so much for reading, Hope you’re having a lovely Monday so far. Take care.
Do you think you’ll buy Scent of a Dream?
