The latter material was recently outright banned after having a restriction placed upon it for a number of years, so unless Versace wants to spend big bucks for a workaround, The Dreamer might go bye-bye if it hasn't already been discontinued by the time you read this. The core is also an unlikely white floral arrangement of alpha irones and ionones that impart the smell of iris, flax, and dry woody tones, which when laid upon the floral tobacco base supported by coumarin, white musk, amber, and tarragon, make for a smell that basically presaged what the whole of house Prada would eventually do in the men's segment by at least a decade.
Versace The Dreamer has a nice "pressed white shirt" feel in the same way Versace Blue Jeans shoots for a casual ruggedness, so Versace was nothing if not on the ball with making fragrances that matched the fashion values of their clothing at the time. Wear time is about 10 hours and sillage remains really good for most of that. Versace the Dreamer takes a stance that many would consider office-friendly in modern times, but back in , this was a statement maker that turned heads with its huge floral tobacco trail that cut through the din of freshness.
Where you choose to use it now is therefore open to debate or suggestion, but it works almost year round. The fun thing about floral fragrances, particularly ones based on white florals or iris is that they have a large unisex appeal that either leads to gender aversion for the more patriarchal or generically CIS-hetero types, or wholesale embrace from adventerous guys that love considering themselves cultured and comfortable in their own skin, with a lot of hemming and hawing from confused folks caught between.
Versace L'Homme had a pretty dry floral tobacco too, but it was snuggled between aromatic citrus chypre tones of oakmoss, sandalwood, bergamot, and petitgrain. The mostly-ignored Deaville pour Homme by Michel Germain opened the door wider, before Dior Homme would eventually come along and blow it off its hinges.
The interesting yet eminently wearable Versace The Dreamer was somewhat given a sequel by Donatella Versace with the plush tobacco of Versace Man some years later, a fragrance that has already been discontinued for some time itself. The Dreamer perhaps feels like the Neanderthal evolutionary dead end of the tobacco genre as future fragrances in the style got sweeter and spicier, and since iris masculines have mostly gone in soapier directions too, this fragrance sadly becomes increasingly identifiable by what makes it out of step as time goes on, but I'll always love it.
Thumbs up. Constantine Show all reviews by Constantine. Starts off potpourri and a bag of sherbets in other words unbearably sugary and fougere. The dry down of course settles a bit but its sweet tobacco although the sweetness does tend to eventually fade only to be replaced by pepper which begins to get up your nose. Lots of pain for little gain. That said I can see the attraction for some. This stuff is delightful. It's not hyper-masculine.
I'd call it a pretty scent of iris and tobacco, but not smoky, more like the plant itself. Don't pay department store prices for this. Smells terrible before drying. Once dry, it is a wonderful tobacco-ish scent. NettyYeti Show all reviews by NettyYeti.
I don't get any of the harshness or synthetic qualities that some reviewers mention. The Dreamer is smooth and well-blended from top to bottom. The opening is bright, almost sparkling in the way that a dark soda pop might pop and fizz , and I wish it lasted longer. The mid notes are a wonderful blend of lavender and fairly dry tobacco, with a touch of sweetness.
I struggle to pick out other individual notes. The dry down is tobacco, of the Cool Water variety, though I must admit that my experience with tobacco in fragrance or otherwise is limited.
I prefer this to something like Burberry London, though if you love tobacco, I could see The Dreamer as the warm weather alternative to something like London. I get all-day and then some longevity, but it wears very close to the skin. Suitable for office wear, certainly. In terms of value, I bought the 3. Take from that what you will. Reminds me of smelling tobacco leaves as they dry. Used to live in a town that had a tobacco company and every year around the same time, there would be this smell wafting through the area where the company would be drying out the tobacco leaves.
Very unique. I get excellent projection and longevity from The Dreamer. The Dreamer is an interesting, but very good, fragrance that regrettably neither lasts longer nor projects more. Smell: 8. A fairly unique smell, which makes it unsuitable for a blind buy.
A very special person gave this cologne to me to try, and I truly love wearing it. The compliments about the cologne were great, and I have ranked it at the top of my list.
It's a really great cologne to wear. I detect tabacco leaves like opening a packet of ciggerettes, , iris notes and then plenty of lavender , its a wonderful mysterious powdery tabacco scent, I don't feel like it projects particularly well but remains a consistant skin scent after 1hr, it has a very Italian vibe in that it is cute and classy in the dry down..
For its years, Versace The Dreamer has just enough longevity to stay in game and still be one of the best selling fragrances in the world. Since Versace The Dreamer is a tobacco sweet fragrance, the best time to wear it is definitely night time during mid-colder days. When it comes to season, colder temperatures definitely fit the best — fall and spring are perfect seasons for it. Less than sprays is still okay, but mainly it all depends on how you like it.
If you are going out to the club, feel free to spray 6 times, if you are going out on a date, then 4 will do just the job. However, there are also some other factors that you should consider before deciding is The Dreamer right fragrance for you.
As with all other fragrances that are in the top for decades, you need to know that you will smell identically the same as lots of folks out there.
If you are good with that, then go with it, but if you are looking for a more unique fragrance then definitely keep looking. Also if you are looking for something more punchy not only on opening , more aggressive, the smell that will project for feets away and scream your name then also reconsider getting this fragrance.
The Dreamer is definitely for you if you want a bit more private scent but still punchy and dirty enough to make you smell like a boss. It must just fit fragrance-technically. The flacon is noble, the fragrance is high quality, the sillage is subtle but good, the durability can also be seen and the price is favorable. Unfortunately, my expectations of the fragrance, however, were not met, although it could actually fit after the many previous fragrance descriptions.
This cinnamon-spicy undertone is, however, unfortunately so disturbing, as if there is somehow something does not want to fit together.
For me, once again, proof not to rely on other scent descriptions, but to test for yourself On paper as on my skin, I can not really make friends with this fragrance, unfortunately. As for Versace otherwise, I'm a big fan, however, this fragrance just has a subnote that turns my stomach slightly, the more you get it in the nose. Very sad, I think, because at first smell you do become very attentive and interested in it; you want to smell again right away - but then, in the details, it turns for me and becomes unpleasant rather than remarkably inviting.
Makes you almost envious of everyone else who can love it so much : I would have liked to have been one of them. Disclaimer: I am an older gentleman of advanced retirement age who has applied fragrances for personal pleasure all his life. I have neither an analytical nose and professional background knowledge, nor the urge to remain as objective as possible in evaluations, as far as this seems at all possible with fragrances.
When the first days of August have passed, then you sit sometimes at the evening garden table, enjoy a glass of Portuguese red wine, and you remember. There at the very end, still behind the vegetable beds and herbs grow on an old fence - probably for over a hundred years - the tastiest blackberries on earth.
And then you get up, walk there thoughtfully, smell them, and look forward to the small harvest of the weeks now to come. In my eyes, few scents capture the garden theme as beautifully as Versace's The Dreamer. Its fruity sweetness is of such delicate loveliness that it blends almost creatively wildly with the herbal aromas.
I deliberately do not want to track down individual fragrance notes in this eau de toilette, but let the whole garden work on me. Not one of those ghastly concrete gardens with DIY pot plants in antique design pots, and also not a durchdesignten swank garden with Koikarpfenteich and wooden bridge - no, I'm talking about a real garden as you find it with grandparents, where hundreds of colours and smells rain down on a small person, with cherry and apple trees, where cucumbers grow, the brown-yellow leaves of the trees cover the lawn, and old wooden slats rot on the bank of a small village stream.
Possibly this image is as cheesy as this fragrance, possibly because the present has become too hectic to allow such gardens with all their back-breaking work to survive at all, possibly because of this we sometimes react cynically to this form of niceness, and possibly because of this very reason I love Versace's The Dreamer all the more.
That this fragrance seduces incidentally with one of the most tasteful bottles on the market and a very attractive price, this should be mentioned, without the beauty of the actual fragrance but even in the slightest want to relativize.
İI always wanted to have this fragrance , even if he would not smell good , I would put him in my perfume closet because he just looks elegant. The fragrance reminds me at the beginning of the Sculpture homme but not so extremely penetrating and in the course of its development comes a perfectly measured amount of the le male DNA , which smells very good with the tobacco flower.
Which also takes away from its uniqueness somewhat. İm large and all he is a masterpiece of Gianni Versace which hopefully will not be forgotten so quickly. So, I write as a long-winded visitor to this page also times my first comment and not without reason to this fragrance. I stumbled upon it through a video of the good Jeremy. The fragrance was not only one of my first fragrances ever I think my third but also the first BlindBuy you can say whether you could smell the already in any store.
I have him in any case still niergendwo seen. When the fragrance was then delivered at the beginning of summer he smelled for my untrained nose still quite indefinable. However, it has not taken much longer than a summer afternoon with friends, iced tea and canoes on the next best river and he became THE summer fragrance for me.
While I see that Dreamer is classified by many here as an all-rounder, I myself prefer it in summer in the warmest temperatures and even then more for casual affairs or freshly showered after an evening jog. The durability and sillage I would have classified as not too above average, as with most light, fresh summer fragrances, but when I recently showed it to a friend, he said that he has already smelled the on me. And since that could only be on the aforementioned canoe trip, despite sunscreen, sweat, and hours of swimming in river water, it genuinely surprised me.
So if you want a BlindBuy for the summer, top quality from a legendary brand at low money, then you can not miss TheDreamer. Show all reviews JMWeed 5 days ago.
RobbieX 3 months ago. Stamatios 5 months ago. The Dreamer starts sweet and gradually dries down to a warm woody scent. Top notes include clary sage, lavender and mandarin. The heart which seem to be what most people object to is a combination of geranium, rose and tobacco.
However, the tobacco is more freshly-picked and sharper than you usually smell in colognes. Is it a strange pairing? Yes — but I think they pull it off.
