Cultivating awareness and a deep understanding of the power of scent is crucial in helping you appreciate fragrances. It will also empower you to navigate the somewhat intimidating world of assorted fragrances with utmost confidence.

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. 

This innovative and refined perfume boasts ingredients of the highest quality. The fragrance features:

• Lavender
• Fresh florals
• Sweet tobacco drydown

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

The top notes, namely clary sage, lavender, and mandarin, provide the sweet element. Upon sniffing the cologne, you get struck by the powerful accords of the clary sage and lavender.

This opening is rather intense, and you can smell the tobacco notes strongly. The opening then dries down systematically to reveal a warm, drier, woody scent featuring cedar, vetiver, and fir. 

The Dreamer turns soft, sweeter, and floral with the drydown, but the tobacco notes remain prominent. As for the middle, rose, geranium and carnation notes usher in a refreshingly fresh heart. 

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

It’s also sweet and powdery with a subtly spicy, fresh, and herby drydown. The cologne also boasts an amazingly deep tobacco aroma. 

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.

The Dreamer by Versace lasts between 4 and 6 hours with a 2 feet (60.96 cm) projection in the initial 2 hours. The sillage and longevity are moderate, but it still smells amazing, and people will tell you so. 

While its performance is not all that great compared to other similar designer perfumes, it’s reasonable enough to make Versace The Dreamer EDT sit among the best-selling fragrances in the world.
