Versace Men's Perfume Dreamer 100ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

And those other flowers are not very far down in the mix - less far down than the notes-votes here would have it I think ... and there's a decent salty muskiness there also, which isn't listed atall - but as I've said before often isn't, being a fairly default constituent in the main - at least some variety thereof, not necessarily the salty one. The Dreamer remains, for me, one of the original stars of Versace, along with Versace Man from 2003. It is very versatile and reasonably easy to use, despite its uniqueness. Kind of a plain scent to me (at least for the first hour, see below!). It' s like a much simpler, cruder version of Tommy with some amber sweetener and an impression of tobacco (cedar/tarragon/pepper?).

Versace Dreamer cologne is a complex and intriguing scent characterized by a rich blend of wild and aromatic plants. While the potent mix of florals and tobacco is unusual, it results in a simple, balanced, and well-built formulation that’s both clean and summery. I had to leave a review for this fragrance since I absolutely love it! I actually smelled this in TJMaxx and thought it was really special. I went home and looked up the notes for it. I ended up purchasing it for my husband's birthday, and he loves it. To me this could very easily be a unisex fragrance. That's why I bought it for my husband so I could wear it to. Our son who doesn't wear cologne much because it gives him headaches liked it so much he asked for some for Christmas.

It lasted on my boyfriend for about 7 hours and it had moderate sillage on him. He didn't need to re-touch his fragrance until the end of the day and I think that the price and its longevity make it very good value for money. It’s well known that fragrances old like this one usually don’t perform well, mainly because they went through many reformulations and got heavily diluted over the years. Reasons for this are obvious, manufacturers want to keep the original price, they want to reduce costs of production and invest in new things. Proof of this is that The Dreamer originally had real tobacco, but today it only has tobacco blossom notes. This is a difficult fragrance to review. It is kind of a polarizing scent. My bottle was produced in January 2014, so it is likely this new version, but with a more vintage formula than the newest produced bottles. It has a bit of a sharp opening, and I get a blast of something very green and floral. There is also a spicyness that I quite enjoy. As it dries down it becomes a floral tobacco scent, with a juicy tea note that doesn’t seem to be listed, but that might be the tobacco. I say it is polarizing because at this point the floral and powdery nature of the fragrance can be a little feminine smelling. It has quite a perfumey, powdery smell to it, and has great longevity and projection. The smell is incredible this is such a brilliant and versatile fragrance than can be worn anywhere really and I don't think belongs to any season. I see the majority have voted this a winter frag but I don't get that at all. If I had to choose it would be a winding down of summer fragrance when it's still hot in the day but the nights draw cooler. Let it dry down and then judge - imagine a sweet nostalgic tobacco base combined with light, dreamy and fresh green florals.

Blind buy worthy? Why not! If you get this gem for €20~€25 don't waste your time looking for decants. This is a superbly blended fragrance and way better than what you should expect for the pittance Versace are now asking and as mentioned before they haven't "cheaped out" on anything. It gives that feeling of immense freshness and is very similar to when you cover yourself in a high-end Talcum Powder straight out of the shower except the effect lasts for ages here. Versace The Dreamer has pretty good longevity and it lasts for about 5-6 hours. Projection is the strongest for the first 1-2h, and after that, it doesn’t project at all, it just lingers on your skin until it fades. Then I got home, made myself a lovely cup of coffee, and sat down to look it up on Fragrantica. And I am SOOO surprised to see, that it is actually ment for men!!

SAFETY NET PRICE

Considering its composition and differences between today’s version and the 1996 version, notes are changed fully but manipulated in such a way to keep the original scent. Just like with Acqua Di Gio, it has been reformulated many times, but it still works fantastically for some people. These are the ingredients for Versace The Dreamer of today ( 1): It was made by Jean-Pierre Bethouart who decided to make it a bit more wearable and better overall than D&G. In a difference to Pour Homme from Dolce & Gabanna, Versace decided to add the sweet note to tobacco which immediately won the hearts of many people and it became ultra-popular. Maybe this superficial/sympathetic composition belongs to a genre of experience that makes its shortcomings part its core content; not what it intends, but what it means: a whiff of existential iron-in-the-soul lending gravity to a formula where there clearly appears to be none. Whatever...

My romantic soul feels as if i were a persian prince from the tales (like in the 1001 arabian nights) who's waiting for his secret lover under favour of the night in an oriental palace garden, under the million stars in the moonlight.... Vintage Dreamer was such a beautiful scent… I’m so happy I scooped this up when I had the chance. Much like many reformulated fragrances, the original formulas had such vibrancy and liveliness. Well balanced and blended, and were clearly made of higher quality ingredients. This is an excellent representation of that…

S8 PRESCRIPTION

Everything about this fragrance reminds me of that special time in my life in the late 1990s when the fashion epicenter was in Miami. I was planning a trip to south beach just to be a part of this scene and rub shoulders with the gods. Madonna was living there as well. The tropical decadence and glamour was alluring. Summer of 1997 rolled around and I planned a vacation at the end of August. Then the tragedy happened in mid July. I lost my job, cancelled all vacation plans and was fragrance free for months. I moved to Michigan from Ohio. The party was over. Then came the news of Princess Diana... That's what intrigues me so much, he doesn't smell like 100 others, he just smells like "The Dreamer".
