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

Product Information

I get a solid 4.5 hours with this when I'm outside under the heat, as it is early summer when writing, but I get 7 hours when hanging out indoors. Vintage (first formula) was yellowish in color. Almost Amber. Came in a colorful galaxy design box with 83 volume written under the bottle. This version is the most potent and performs all day on clothes and skin. It's also the rarest version nowadays.

I love this fragrance, it was the last creations of Gianni Versace's era before he was shot & he really went out with a bang. I find during the dry-down it has a very rich and deep tobacco scent that I find, is unreplaced by any other fragrances. It's really unique, and at that, will not be for everyone. This is a mature fragrance designed to be worn by the gentlemen, but I've been wearing it since 19 and consider it to be insanely versatile. Some people will tell you that it's a scent for the cooler months & whatever, but it's almost as if the heat and summertime compliment this fragrance in a different way. Something about smelling this in the humidity is great to me. 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. 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.Current formula which is sold in dark blue boxes with stars, has almost transparent juice color. Under the bottle 79 volume is written. This is the weakest edition and is available in some retail shops. In the air if smelt, it still has the dna of the vintage but up close you'll notice lots of notes are missing. There's sort of a fresh laundry quality to it that I don't love. My guess is that it's the lavender interacting with tonka bean. I am generally suspicious of clean-smelling fragrances because I regard their creative ambitions to be quite low. Why give a fragrance a really cool name and bottle design simply to function as a body deoderant? The Dreamer is certainly not the most egregious of clean fresh scents, but I think it could have been something more. To my nose, it's a bit too close to a cleaning product. However, the tobacco (tobacco flower?) Is a nice addition that elevates it away from a terrible air freshener like Nautica Blue. 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. Strange enough, my first impressions were rather different. It appeared as a "synthetic mess", a candy-like hairspray smell. Now, I'm getting different layers, and since it's not overly heavy, it seems like a dumb reach.

I went into my lokal perfume shop, privately owned by a very nice lady, today. Looking at perfumes with 50% off. None of these perfumes were to my liking, but then I looked at her shelf with Versace’s. And saw this!! Have never ever seen this before, or even heard of it! Tried it on, and it was SOO lovely!! I just have to buy it. I feel, that in addition to being just so soft and lovely just for me, on a possibly almost everyday use basis, it will also be just how a grandmother should smell! So soft and cuddly, it can’t even be too much for my newborn grandson, when I get to see him. And the a little bit older grandchildren will love this on me, I know! And lovely enough even in a sensual way, for a man to smell on me. Versace Dreamer is pretty verstile for fall-spring. I don't know if it would work in summer, especially an Arizona summer at 100+ temps. That said, it is work ready, date ready and upscale. Dreamer also has great performance and lasts about 10-12 hours. In the opening you get a very nice Lavender mixed with Clary Sage then the tobacco and a touch of florals from the geranium and a touch of sweetness from the Rose. Finally the Tonka Bean sits there somewhere to make sure that everything is all held together smoothly. It’s also sweet and powdery with a subtly spicy, fresh, and herby drydown. The cologne also boasts an amazingly deep tobacco aroma.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

As it dries down, I get a bitter, herbal, powdery amber, likely from the interaction with the artemisia, that lasts for several hours. There is an enveloping spicy warmth radiating from this fragrance throughout its rather lengthy life span. This is a beautiful scent that I have not come across through my large collection, and it worth having a bottle just for the beauty of the bottle art. This is a fairly uncommon fragrance, so you won’t smell like everyone else. A classic men’s fragrance born in 1996, it must have been quite the head turner in its time. It’s not for everybody, but it definitely has its fans. I don’t think it is a safe blind buy though, as it can lean a little feminine on certain skin chemistry. If you can, try before you buy. It is a clean, green, powdery, floral, sophisticated scent that will give you many hours of pleasurable wear. That fits yes perfectly to my drummer friend, who has already in January Gebby - hardly that Christmas has passed. Those who own this fragrance for a long time know that it wouldn’t just be right if it came in 50ml size! Is Versace The Dreamer Discontinued?

It's a miracle! My favoutite fragrance! Real Masterpiece! 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. I feel 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.... Shills almost always mention the fragrance being "ideal" for the current or upcoming season. The reason being of course is impulse buying is most effective when NOW is the time to buy. Another person commented on the clarysage note and this is correct to me. It is not in the pyramid but clarysage is a key component. If anyone has experience with Ferrari Noble Fig you may notice the big similarity between that and The Dreamer ( clarysage is listed on Ferrari Noble Fig notes btw) and I feel it should be on here too. These are different, but there is a similar overall powdery-aromatics & a musk/white-musk vibe, although the soft purple tones are lavender in English Laundry Signature and iris-violet in The Dreamer. English Laundry Signature has a more forward woody accord, while The Dreamer has more forward iris-violet accords. Both have good performance. I love the uniqueness of this fragrance. The opening is a little strong for some people but the dry down is beautiful. I really like how the florals and the tobacco and the vetiver mix so smoothly. It’s a perfect balance, the tobacco and i want to say the vetiver adds an edge to the florals which is very nice. I do smell the lavender and the rose especially the rose and i love it. There is the slightest hint if orange but that’s about it. And a light herbal scent in the opening.There are some comments below asking where to get the original edition. Well unfortunately it's not available anymore. Some are still selling it online but beware of fakes. 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. Sure, I do love JPG Le Male, Diors Fahrenheit, couple Guerlains etc. But this, this smells like nothing else I ever smelled. I am not saying its my all time fav, or signature, or even top 3, but god, this is completely out of leauge for me, or not even in competition. And then in the base I smell the balsamic and green quality of fir trees, a nice and soft woodiness and the sweet and almond-like nuances of the tonka bean. It's a very earthy and sensual sweetness that I think grounds this composition and ties up the loose ends of this fragrance. Despite its versatility and wearability, you must wear it in open spaces or among people who like strong scents. Most people will love your sillage but they may become uncomfortable with proximity sniffing. As far as I am concerned It's a fantastic fragrance, but you must choose well where you may use it; some suggestions: alone (for your own pleasure), driving an open-air car, making a presentation or conducting an audience, street/park walking...

This is Florence Welch in parfume world for me; shes not my favourite singer, I dont want to marry her, I dont listen to her everyday. But her singing gives me feelings like nothing else in this world. I love this scent for men and I think that it is a very sexy and masculine blend that smells clean, confident and like something a guy could wear to either a date or a board meeting and slay. Talking about the scent: I smell a herbal-aromatic note (Tarragon and Juniper) at the start that reminds me of lavender. It's harsh but vicious. After 10min the tobacco flower starts to appear along with other flowers (iris and lily) although it's not powdery neither feminine. After 1h the coumarin joins the game and the scent turns more sweet, alluring but still kind of floral.Versatility: 8.0 (above average versatility but you may kill somebody if you use it in the Gym or at a beach party)
