EDT · 2009 · womens

Anna Sui is known for bold, theatrical aesthetics, and her fragrance line reflects that same maximalist sensibility. The brand launched Live Your Dream in 2009 as an EDT that embodies her signature approach to fragrance, blending beauty with an edge.

Live Your Dream opens with a crisp white floral accord built on lily of the valley and water lily, lifted by white pepper for a fresh, slightly peppery brightness. The heart settles into classic florals with Bulgarian rose and jasmine, creating a romantic, full-bodied middle. The base anchors everything with woody notes, primarily cedar and teak, balanced by warm musk, sandalwood, and a touch of tonka bean sweetness. The overall effect is a floral woody that leans traditional but with enough woody depth and musky warmth to keep it grounded rather than purely airy.

This is a fragrance for someone who appreciates classic white floral fragrances but wants something with structural backbone. It works well for daytime wear and transitions smoothly into evening, particularly in cooler months when the woody base feels most natural. If you respond to florals with substance, you'll likely find something to appreciate here. Live Your Dream aligns with The Homesteader, The Romantic, and The Tactician.

Floral Notes
Floral Notes
Lily Of The Valley
Lily Of The Valley
Crisp, green, and dewy, this spring flower smells like rain on cool grass with a clean, soap-like clarity. It's one of perfumery's most requested scents despite being nearly impossible to extract naturally, so it's almost always recreated synthetically. The result is fresh, tender, and timelessly elegant.
Water Lily
Water Lily
White Pepper
White Pepper
Softer and more floral than black pepper, white pepper has a fermented, slightly musty quality alongside its heat that makes it more complex and less aggressive. It adds a refined spiciness to compositions, suggesting tailored suits rather than kitchen counters. Often used in higher-end masculine fragrances for its elegance.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Bulgarian Rose
Bulgarian Rose
The most prized rose in perfumery, grown in the Valley of Roses in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Rosa damascena cultivated here produces an oil of extraordinary depth: honeyed, velvety, with faint hints of tea, honey, and spice. The standard against which all other rose materials are measured.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Teak Wood
Teak Wood
Smooth, oily, and warm, teak has a rich, almost leathery woodiness with a faint vanilla-like sweetness from its natural oils. It suggests well-maintained furniture, yacht decks, and workshop benches. Used to add a dense, polished warmth to woody oriental fragrances.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
