Even though it’s not mentioned in the perfume notes, many people smell notes of marshmallow and cotton candy too!
Perfume is funny thing because the same perfume can smell different on different people based on body chemistry. Everyone’s nose and personal preference is different too. More below on how we perceived Dream Moon.

Review of Pacifica Dream Moon
There are so many things we love about the Pacifica Dream Moon perfume. Here’s 5 of our favorite things:
1. The scent
The reason we love this perfume so much is the smell! It’s a dynamic scent, starting off sharp, strong and rich, then settling in to a creamy, sweet cotton-candy scent. It’s not a kiddie cotton candy smell, though, but a sophisticated one.
We’re not the only ones who love the smell of Dream Moon – it’s a popular dupe for two very popular perfumes (Ariana Grande’s Cloud and Baccarat Rouge 540). Many actually like it better (it’s less cloying than Cloud). Dream Moon is a perfume that appeals to the masses and is generally non-offensive.
To us, this is a great everyday perfume. It’s good for wearing to the office or school. Also great for a night out. We get decent longevity out of this perfume – it typically lasts 6-8 hours on the skin (but even longer on the hair or clothes).
Pro-tip: Pacifica makes a lotion in the same scent & having moisturized skin will help make your perfume last longer!
2. The price
In the fragrance world, Dream Moon is considered a “cheapie” perfume. But this doesn’t speak to the quality of the perfume, only the price! Dream Moon by Pacifica sells for $22.
3. The Bottle
The colors of the bottle are fun and unique, making it easy to spot in perfume collection.
This is a controversial opinion, but we love the fact that Pacifica perfumes don’t have caps. Why? Because it shows that Pacifica is an eco-conscious brand and they are trying to minimize wasteful packaging.
4. The Ingredients
Here at scentmovement, we take pride in our perfume recommendations. We have high-standards when it comes to the ingredients. We only recommend perfumes that don’t contain concerning ingredients like:

5. Travel-Friendly
The Pacifica Dream Moon perfume only comes in a full-sized bottle, but don’t be fooled. It’s very travel-friendly.
The Pacifica moon perfumes are smaller in size than the average perfume bottle at 1 fluid ounce.
The glass is also very thick, making this perfume much more durable than your typical perfume bottle. You can easily throw this in your purse or backpack!
