Fragrances for the global traveler
According to the team, "Tory Burch Essence of Dreams inspires us to imagine a brighter future." The launch collection includes five scents designed to inspire wearers to pursue their dreams. Each blend of botanicals and essential oils embodies a unique dream – Electric Sky and freedom; Mystic Geranium and joy; Divine Moon and peace; Cosmic Wood and magic; Sublime Rose and love. "Wearers of the fragrance are encouraged to personalize their scents by mixing, layering, and infusing the scents with their own dreams."
The launch also features the luxurious Tory Burch Essence of Dreams Exclusive—an ode to the beauty and thrill of dreaming bigger and going bolder. First introduced in February 2024, these scents are inspired by unique Middle Eastern ingredients and blends – featuring floral and botanical notes revitalized by oud, vetiver, citrus and wood. The range reflects the rich heritage, culture, and energy of the region – long admired by Tory – while offering a fresh perspective on fragrance creation.
Each fragrance celebrates distinct emotions and is a tribute to the cultural significance of these ingredients, inviting wearers to embrace their dreams through the essence of Middle Eastern perfume artistry.
