Description
Lucid Dream by Ex Idolo is a woody-spicy floral fragrance that explores the semi-meditative state of lucid dreaming, inviting a journey into self-awareness and hidden potential. It opens with a bright, aromatic spark of effervescent citrus, pink pepper, and davana, creating an instantly intoxicating introduction. The scent then gracefully transitions into a smoky, romantic heart where rose intertwines with a distinct smoky osmanthus, reminiscent of velvet touched by incense. As it settles, a meditative base emerges with warm, precise incense carried by white patchouli, leaving an elegant and dry finish. This is a sophisticated, artistic scent that feels calm, creative, and quietly addictive, rather than a sugary dream.
