History and origin of Blue Dreams
Blue Dreams is a budget perfume brand with Dutch roots. The company behind the brand does not publish a brand story of its own, and who exactly develops Blue Dreams is not publicly known. The packaging gives a clue to its origin: the barcodes of most Blue Dreams products start with 871, the country code of the Netherlands. That code shows where the company registered its barcodes, not necessarily where the perfumes are made.
When exactly Blue Dreams started is not known either. The brand focuses on affordable eau de parfums and eau de toilettes in decorative bottles, often in a modern, sweet or fresh style.
Blue Dreams and BN Parfums: the same brand?
At Arabmusk you will find both the Blue Dreams collection and the BN Parfums collection. At the moment both collections contain the same Blue Dreams fragrances. However, there is also a separate brand BN Parfums (or BN), mainly known for small 22 ml bottles and for eau de parfums for the Indian market. BN appears, among other places, on the website of the Indian manufacturer Freedom Fragrances, whereas as far as we know Blue Dreams is not part of that company. So these are two different brands that are sometimes confused, for example because one Blue Dreams fragrance is called ‘BN Blue’.
According to the available information, Blue Dreams does not belong to the Freedom/Attarwala group, the company behind brands such as Al Fakhr and Nusuk. A comparable budget brand that appears to be closely related is Close 2: in our data, both brands share the same barcode range (8718247).
