Perfume
Fragrance, Cologne, Perfume bottle
Smell is closely tied to memory, so perfume in a dream can bring a person or a place back in an instant. Catching a familiar fragrance often points to someone who's in your thoughts, or a time you miss. Wearing a scent you love shows confidence and a wish to leave a pleasant impression. A perfume that's far too strong may mean someone's presence feels overwhelming, or that you're trying a little too hard. Receiving a bottle as a gift suggests a person wants you to feel special.
