A Dreamy Morning at Tory Burch: Essence of Dreams Unveiled
The delicate tinkling of crystal glass filled the air as I walked into the sophisticated space of the Tory Burch boutique in Powerplant. The room was aflutter with an intoxicating blend of fragrances and the excited chatter of fellow beauty editors and influencers, all gathered for a special brunch event hosted by Nicole Limos Morales of The Beauty Edit. A plush invitation had promised the revelation of something magical, and I was ready to be swept away.
Dani De Leon, our fragrance guide for the day, looked elegant as she greeted us. The room was filled with delicious canapés and cocktails that set the tone for an extraordinary morning, and I couldn't help but gravitate towards the display of the Essence of Dreams, Tory Burch's new fragrance collection.
The Essence of Dreams
What immediately struck me was the philosophy behind the collection. Tory’s design, in collaboration with Shiseido and the world's leading perfumers, mirrors life itself - full of reimagined classics and unexpected contrasts. The blend of florals, botanicals revitalized by wood, spices, honey, and saltwater made my heart sing.
Tory’s favorite scents encapsulated in these bottles were more than mere fragrances; they were feelings, dreams, a visual aspiration for more love, freedom, joy, magic, and peace. “I wanted to create beautiful, uplifting fragrances that remind us to follow our dreams and imagine a world of endless possibilities,” said Tory. Each fragrance, connected to a dream and a feeling, encouraged the wearer to personalize and immerse themselves into a sensory experience.
The Fragrances: A Sensory Experience
As Dani and Tin began talking about each fragrance, I was transported into the very essence of dreams they represented. From the enchanting Divine Moon, capturing peace with its mix of Lady of the Night flower, honey, and citrus, to the vibrant Electric Sky that symbolized freedom with its refreshing blend of cactus flower, lavender, and wood. Mystic Geranium, Cosmic Wood, and Sublime Rose, each a symphony of notes, connected to joy, magic, and love, respectively.
A Personal Touch
As we mingled, a talented artist was engraving guests' chosen names and words on the perfume bottles, adding an extra touch of charm to an already fascinating day. Holding my personalized bottles - I asked for the word LOVE to be engraved - I felt a connection to this collection that was more profound than just aesthetics.
That dreamy morning at Tory Burch boutique was a celebration of dreams, scents, and the unity of intentions. The Essence of Dreams collection is a gentle reminder of the power of dreams, brought to life through the genius of design and fragrance. Available now in Tory Burch stores and Rustans, it is a collection not to be missed. A dream, after all, is but a fragrance away.
