Versace's The Dreamer is one of the most idiosyncratic male perfumes I have come across. I say perfume advisedly- it hardly ranks as an aftershave with its lush creamy vanilla marshmallow top notes.
The drydown is disappointing after the thrill of all that lily and green smelling juniper. Some iris overpowers, followed by tobacco and tarragon ( which smells oddly kitcheny as you may imagine).
I am sorry to say. I am not keen on the drydown. The top notes are lovely initially, but it all hardens off into a bewildering fig and blackcurrant melange, which although not unpleasant, is certainly not for the fainthearted as it is decidedly odd.
This is a Johnny Depp of a scent- not George Clooney.
I love to sniff the bottle of this (and it is a most beautiful bottle with a raised Lalique style Medusa), but I am not so sure I like it on my man. He says it smells of classy hotels in hot climates, Spain or Mexico. He should know.
I quite like a little bit on my wrist occasionally, just because it is so intriguing and whimsical. It is not a great big bloke of a scent- it is a bit of a hippy maybe.
( my boyfriend is the former, not the latter).
I am keener on L'Homme which is more truly masculine and less continental than The Dreamer.

Yes, The Dreamer is a sweet male perfume, and I am not sure how many men want to be sweet.
It could be a bit headachey in the wrong hands. It isn't sexy either, it is a real white rabbit of a perfume- it's too elusive. It was formulated in 1996-I reckon the parfumier was going for something like an alcoholic liqueur/ cocktail type smell, it is a little like one of those odd tastes like Chartreuse or Strega.
It would defnitely suit a younger man.

Price wise, you can get it online from about £15.

What happened was, I liked the Dreamer in the tester but then read a write up of L'Homme.
I bought both online for about £30 and gave them to my man as a gift. He loved the bottle of the Dreamer, but was knocked out by the scent of L'Homme, which he wears daily and which always reminds me of him ( and always will).
