Dime Beauty Perfume + which scent to buy

Quick tip: since it’s hard to know if you’ll like a perfume until you try it, I’d do the Dime perfume sample pack and then buy the full size.

Dime Beauty is one of the brands I’ve grown to love a lot over the last few years. I saw people talking about it on Instagram for months, and finally decided to give it a try myself to see if it lived up to all the social media hype. I’m pleased to say, it actually does! They make clean beauty products, and what stands out the most to me is the price point of their products for the quality of ingredients in them.

Dime was founded by Baylee and Ryan Relf in 2018, and it has been SUPER successful since then. They’re actually headquartered in my hometown of Draper, Utah which is cool.

Today I’m reviewing their perfume, since it’s the first perfume I’ve been able to wear in years without a headache or feeling like my throat is closing. Even when I’ve tried other clean perfumes (like Phlur), I still struggled with reactions but I’ve had no issues with Dime Beauty perfume.

I am so excited to finally have a perfume that I like and that I don’t react to. This blog post is not sponsored and I actually wrote it before I starting working with Dime as an affiliate.

Dime Beauty Perfume Review + My Favorite Scents

Dime’s perfume is made from clean ingredients and contains organic sugar cane alcohol instead of SD 40 (which is used in most perfumes and can be aggressive on the skin). It’s clean, affordable, vegan, and cruelty-free. It is also hypoallergenic. I find that the scent lasts most of the day but gets lighter as the day goes on, which I appreciate.

They have six perfume scents available, and I have tried almost all of them, thanks to the Dime sampler pack. After I tried that, I got the full size of Lovely Sweet Dreams and Core Memory, so those are obviously my favorite. My TOP pick is Lovely Sweet Dreams if I had to pick just one. I’ll explain each scent below, and they’re listed in order of preference.

Since it’s hard to know if you’ll like a perfume until you try it, I’d do the sample pack and then buy the full size. I prefer to order DIME from Amazon (I wish I could order everything from Amazon, ha!), but if you’d prefer to shop directly from DIME.com, use this link and you should get 20% off all your purchases.

1. Lovely Sweet Dreams

Dime Beauty Lovely Sweet Dreams perfume is a floral, citrus scent. It contains notes of peach nectar, coconut, and apple, along with white lily, freesia, jasmine, rose, and some soft musk scents. It’s very light and feminine but not overly sweet or floral. This one is my FAR by favorite! My husband likes it too!

2. Core Memory

Dime Beauty Core Memory perfume is their most recently released scent and I am loving it for the summer. It’s very lightweight and fresh with citrus undertones. If you’re wary of perfumes, I’d go for this one since it’s so classic and timeless and not overwhelmingly strong. I like this in the warmer months since it’s lighter than Lovely Sweet Dreams. It’s not avaliable on Amazon, so you’ll want to get the Sample Pack, see if you like it, and then order directly from DIME.

3. Dans Les Bois™

Dime Dans Les Bois™ Perfume is a feminine and bold with warm tones of cedarwood and fresh florals. It contains notes of blood orange, jasmine, lavender, saffron, sage, woods, leather, vanilla sugar, and amber. This is their top-selling perfume, and while I do like it, I much prefer the two above. This is supposed to smell very similar to the very popular Santal 33.

4. Malibu Night

Dime Beauty Malibu Night perfume is a coconut musk and berries scent. It contains notes of sandalwood, vanilla, coconut milk, pear, green lives, and raspberry. It’s light and refreshing, but also very sweet. I like the light muskiness of this but overall found it too sweet for my taste.

4. ILYSB

Dime Beauty ILYSB perfume stands for “I love your smell, baby”. This scent is more of a gardenia and sandalwood scent. It contains notes of peach, raspberry, lily of the valley, coconut water, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla sugar. I don’t like gardenia so this one isn’t my favorite.

6. 7 Summers

Dime Beauty 7 Summers perfume is a warm cream scent with a vanilla lavender fragrance. It contains notes of pear, champagne, warm sugar, praline, lavender, musk, and bergamot. I don’t like this one alone, but I do like it layered with Lovely Sweet Dreams.

7. Felt Cute

Dime Beauty Felt Cute perfume is DIME’s newest perfume launch and I LOVE it. The scent is sweet and flirty with notes of f rich coffee, black vanilla, and musky florals. I do think it’s worth noting that this might not be your favorite if you like clean-smelling scents. This one is super sweet!

Are Dime Beauty Perfumes Worth Trying?

In short, yes! The really nice thing about DIME is that they offer a sample pack of perfume scents so that you can try most, if not all (sometimes, their sample pack doesn’t have the most recent new scent released). Perfume and your signature scent is a personal decision, so I think it’s super important to try them before committing to a full size. I can’t recommend buying a sample pack enough! That is how I decided to buy the full-size scents in Lovely Dreams and Core Memory.

I’m also very impressed by the Dime perfume cost. Dime’s perfume is $48 a bottle for 1.7oz. Chanel perfume, for example, is $95 for the same size. And you can’t beat the sample set for $38!

Dime offers free shipping on orders of $49, so if you order from their website you may want to tack on one extra product to get that. I’d get the eyelash boost serum and/or eyebrow-enhancing gel. Since using them for over a year, my lashes have definitely increased in length and my brows have thickened up, and my bald spots in my brows that popped up as I’ve aged have filled in entirely. (I started to see improvements after 3 months of daily use.)
