The Dreamer

To start off, I disagree with most of the other reviews on here. Versace The Dreamer is possibly the most floral, and yet also one of the most masculine fragrances I have ever smelled. I understand that a lot of people may be put off with it's strong, almost harsh, opening of the Juniper and Artemesia notes, because, yes, it is quite a shock, literally every time it is sprayed; every single spray of this is extremely sweet but as soon as it settles into the skin, it turns into this lovely floral façade. Admittedly, I also sense a lot of these flowers in the opening, which I haven't seen all too many other people also saying. In my opinion, just because it is similar to a lot of feminine fragrances that are around, it is just.. different in it's own way. The essence of it's differences actually make it insanely masculine in my eyes because it is so out there and beyond what a lot of people would even consider. I could almost call it niche, not in the sense that fragrances are usually called niche, but in the sense that it's one of these things that's so uncommon to hear about and people might consider it unique. Versace really went out there with this one, specifically the new version of The Dreamer. It's quite different from the 1996 edition, and quite frankly I prefer that one, despite unfortunately not owning a bottle. This one is more fruity, has softer tobacco notes, and lacks the complexity of the sensation one may experience when walking through a pine forest on a spring afternoon. Moving onto the actual "specifications", I think it performs very well, especially for the retail price. It has very very good longevity, lasting at least 8 hours on my skin, even in Winter where I find fragrances fade more quickly. Overall, 7.5/10

Versace The Dreamer: It Doesn’t Demand Attention. It Earns It. Dreams come in endless variations, but it’s the dreamer who gives them meaning. Some dreams fade the moment you wake. Others linger, leaving behind emotions you can’t quite explain. That’s what Versace The Dreamer reminds me of. I’ll admit it. The first time I smelled it, I didn’t get it.The opening is herbal, green, and a little unusual. I almost put it back on the shelf, and I understand why some people do. But this isn’t a fragrance that reveals itself in the first thirty seconds. It rewards patience. Give it a few minutes and everything begins to connect. The iris, lily, and flax soften the composition into something comforting and elegant. Then the tobacco blossom quietly steps in. Not smoky. Not loud. Just effortlessly confident. It’s the note that made everything finally make sense to me. The dry down is clean, slightly soapy, and smooth. It feels less like wearing a fragrance and more like carrying a quiet memory. Don’t expect beast mode projection with only just a few sprays; however, it projects for me because when I apply it, I apply with pressure. Then hours later I may apply more pressure. The Dreamer stays close enough to invite people in rather than announce itself across the room. The longevity, though, surprised me. I caught soft traces on my skin for hours and on my clothes well into the next day. It doesn’t demand attention. It earns it. Nearly three decades after its 1996 release, The Dreamer still doesn’t smell like it’s chasing trends. It smells like it’s comfortable being itself. I’m glad I didn’t judge it by the opening.

It's Magic!!! My favourite/signature fragrance! Real Masterpiece! Everything i expect from a perfect perfume, from the Big One, this one absolutely fulfils all those things! This perfume and it's medusa headed black and gold bottle is the embodiment of Luxury, Mystery and Power. The scent of dreams! Mystical emotions, romantic mood. I step instantly into an other dimension by smelling this scent and i'm always entranced by it! Just like his name says: i'll be a dreamer! .... 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.... The best tobacco scent combined with flowers (lily, iris and some kind of rose effect) in the heart mixed with soothing juniper! Faboulus! Rich Tobacco is the heart of the scent. That brings the masculinity into the other gentle and flowery notes. It's Unique and classic at the same time. It's quite an elegant scent in a beautiful luxurious bottle. For any occasion at any season, of course not exatly for the office... Old scool and powdery a little bit? Yesss!! That's why it works! It's a Big timeless Classic! But enough modern due this fact: do your dreams have any age? How old is your fantasy?.... I always get a lot of compliments, people are often asking me " mmmhh.. what did you put on?? ".... The flavour lasts up to 9-12 hours on my skin,( although this new version is not exatly the same as the original from 90's but it's pretty close to it!). It's even a long lasting and a very special scent for very special guys( at a very good price)! I love it so much! Thanks Versace!!!

Perfection personified!!! This is a masculine, white floral with a slightly sweet hint of luxurious tobacco blossom. Some have said it's feminine ... no way. Some women might like it ... and it is a man's fragrance ... so they could consider it unisex, perhaps. What it's NOT ... a typical fresh, aquatic, citrus or even a woodsy fragrance for men. It is a white floral, but done in a very "creamy" way of incorporating some masculine tobacco note by using tobacco blossom. Toward the final stage of the drydown you do get a little bit of amber which also adds to its masculinity. Many say that this is not a safe blind for men. I say ... IF you are totally against floral scents ... even if pulled off in a masculine way ... then this is NOT for you. Who would like it? ... collectors, some women ... and men who appreciate uniqueness in their collection and don't mind a masculine white floral ... with a hint of sweet tobacco and amber. I'm 67 and I absolutely love it ... but I love tobacco fragrances. I can also see a guy in his 30s who doesn't mind a floral fragrance and is already used to wearing some slightly sweet fragrances. For tobacco scent lovers ... you definitely should add this unique fragrance to your collection. Oh, I almost forgot ... it smells great for around 8 hours and you can get it for a budget price. THANK YOU VERSACHE!!!

Upon initial spray, this smells like fresh cut grass. Reminds me of Calvin Klein Truth. But as this dries down it’s absolutely GORGEOUS. It’s the clean scent I’ve been looking for... the perfect balance between freshly showered, dryer sheet, ethereal, chypre and pure luxury... I usually love more rose dominant fragrances, because the rose note tends to lean soapy on me, but this is perfect. Doesn’t even need to macerate. This is a unique take on Iris, and I’m HERE for it. The Iris is unapologetically front and center, with the tobacco chypre note following. It’s not an ash tray tobacco, more like the flower of a tobacco plant. Someone mentioned great for smokers, I don’t smoke, but I do like fragrances with incense and the tobacco flower has that incense vibe with a beautiful floral, chypre, powdery touch. The juniper adds a clean, sudsy feel that is really hard to find. Most clean scents are too citrusy to me but the juniper gives me the sudsy, soapiness I’ve been searching for. Tarragon tends to go super earthy and aromatic on me. I wish the tarragon was a little less pronounced but all in al It’s beautiful fragrance on my chemistry! Great for office wear as well. It’s blended to perfection. I am a woman, and this actually leans more feminine and soft in my humble opinion, minus the super earthy tarragon! Great job Versace!!!
