Versace the Dreamer Review (EDT Cologne)

The bottle design is unique, and I appreciate the attention to detail. The bottle bears the ubiquitous Medusa logo, a subtle gold, and silver theme.

The Dreamer comes in a three-piece gift set that includes a foaming gel, aftershave, and the cologne—all bearing the same fragrance notes.

The aromatic, fresh, spicy, and tobacco notes create a unique and interesting character. The opening is a blend of lavender and mandarin orange, offering a dreamy and powdery vibe. As it evolves, floral notes like carnation and geranium join in, along with a touch of rose. The tobacco becomes prominent, giving it a mature and comforting feel.

The fusion of potent florals and tobacco might seem unconventional, but in reality, it results in a beautifully balanced and well-crafted composition that exudes simplicity, cleanliness, and a perfect touch of summer. 

The fragrance opens with a blast of sweetness. The dry-down hints of tobacco, ending with an aromatic woody trail. 

So, what does Versace The Dreamer smell like? Classy, smooth, and masculine.

Due to several reformulations, current versions might not smell exactly like the original formula. Recent top notes include:

• Tarragon
• Juniper 
• Artemisia

While the core comprises:

• Iris
• Flax
• Lily

Fortunately, the fragrance still retains its fantastic aroma.

In my experience with The Dreamer by Versace, I’ve found that it tends to linger on my skin for a duration of about 4 to 6 hours. During the initial 2 hours, it projects quite noticeably.

Indeed, its performance may not match up to some other designer fragrances with more robust longevity and projection, but there’s an undeniable charm to The Dreamer that makes it stand out.

The moderate performance doesn’t hinder its popularity, and people around you will still catch whiffs of its captivating scent.

In my personal experience, I’ve reserved The Dreamer for special occasions, especially date nights, as its seductive aura adds an extra layer of charm. However, it doesn’t limit itself to evenings only; I’ve also enjoyed wearing it casually on weekends

It’s worth noting that this fragrance tends to garner compliments from women. While some might find it a bit strong for office wear, I’ve found that its intensity is well-balanced, making it suitable for various occasions.

Versace The Dreamer is a masculine scent with a moderate sillage that’s suitable for both day and nightwear, especially during colder months. It consists of a blend of wildflowers, tobacco, and amber.

This cologne stands out as a balanced scent formulation that’s uniquely original. And since it’s highly versatile, it makes for an excellent signature scent. On top of everything, its affordable price offers outstanding value.

If you’re in the market for a unique, classic, versatile, and original scent, it’s a good choice.

Should you buy Dreamer by Versace for a friend or the special man in your life? Yes and no. This fragrance is not everybody’s cup of tea, so a blind buy is not recommended. Play it safe and only go for it if you know the recipient will like it.
