You’re probably familiar with the idea that your dreams are a reflection of your current state of mind or recent experiences.
But you might be surprised to learn that they can also be influenced by things as trivial as what you eat, what you smell, and even by the position you sleep in. The sensory perceptions that we have during sleep can affect how we dream — which makes sense when you consider how closely linked our senses are.
The reason we dream about perfume, cologne, or scented body wash is because the smell triggers memories. Our sense of smell is closely linked with memory and emotion.
When we smell something pleasant or unpleasant, we can associate that feeling with a specific place or event in our lives. That association can trigger strong emotions as well as memories.
If you are wearing perfume in your dream, this means that you are feeling confident and satisfied with yourself right now. You are at peace with who you are and what you have accomplished so far in life.
Dreams about wearing perfume could also mean that you are trying to impress someone.

The meaning of dreams about perfume depends on the context of the dream. In general, to dream of perfume could mean that there are things in your life that you have been ignoring and you need to pay attention to them.
It is very important to know what exactly happened in your dream. Were you smelling the perfume, and if you were, how did it smell? For example, if someone is wearing a perfume and you don’t like how they smell, then this suggests that they have done something recently that you don’t approve of or perhaps this person doesn’t think highly of you.
Perfume can also represent something that you desire or want to attract into your life. For example, if you dream of smelling someone’s perfume and you are enjoying it, then this may indicate that you are attracted to this person sexually or romantically.
Perfumes in dreams can also symbolize feelings or emotions that you want to express or conceal.
