Like most of colognes from Versace, this one is not wonderful, unique or even acceptable.

It’s very synthetic. Smells cleanness and freshness but like a soap factory! Washing and softening liquids and powders in laundry!

You will feel it strongly but nobody around you will notice!

I don’t like it.

Very good fragrance. It can be cloying when first applied so be careful. It kind of cotton candy sweet with a hint of dry tabacco for me. Great sillage and it last 9+ hours on my skin. 9/10

It can be very nice after 30 minutes to an hour. But honestly,,, the more I think about it, the more it smells like laundry detergent or fabric softener

My first blind buy. And my first review on Fragrantica. I don't advice anybody to blind buy a fragrance, but I was not able to test in before to buy it. And it was very cheap.

I need to say that I'm real impress with this fragrance. Its my first time that I ware this, but I'm already In love with the Dreamer.

My opinion: 8.50/10

Versace is one of my favourite cologne brands, so i had high hopes for this, and let me tell you, i've fallen in love with this scent - it's just so lovely; cannot get enough of it. The opening is very synthetic, but after 5 mintues, it's gone, and what's left is just heavenly. The longer it stays on (speaking of which, i tend to get 20-30 hours!), the better it gets. Hard to describe, but that's all part of it's appeal. I have 4 Versace fragrances, and this for me is the best

the versace dreamer cannot be described. its one of those fragrances that you have to smell to really get a perspective of what it truly is. The opening to this fragrance, i do admit, is a bit cloying and synthetic, but that just makes the fragrance all the more for the true connoisseur. if you can bear the first 30 minutes of this fragrance, then you will have a scent that no one can resist. the scent puts you in a trance...what is that smell??and you try to conjour up possibilities of what that scent could be. no other fragrance smell like this, no other fragrance make you feel like this. this is the dreamer.

The Dreamer depicts very nicely the essence of this perfume, because when I wear it I feel like I'm floating between the dream and the real world. Some notes are pulling me to one side like lavander, and others like cedar and vetiver to the other...Beautiful fragrance...

I love love love this scent. It has a very clean floral smell. It could be worn by a woman very easy as well. It has a smell like some kind of candy I have smelled before. It's wonderful. Highly recommended.

Versace dreamer' name is good but the fragrance is bad. Very soapy linear fragrance. Nothing but old fashioned soap and leather.
ugly bottle too!
I give it 2 out of 10.

One of my favorite fragances. I had felt it on a friend on the drydown stage, which is wonderful. Bought it online and was really surprised with the initial notes... they are so unique and cloying, but they don't last long. What stays is a very well-blended mixture that calls a lot of attention and makes me feel powerful.

The horror, the horror......
Back in the day, I heard so many good things about this fragrance so I decided to try it out. I was new to the world of fragrances so I went a little overboard when first testing. Two sprays to the chest, neck and wrists (six sprays in total).
After about 30 seconds I fell to the ground..... Head spinning..... Cloying nightmare..... Cat looking at me puzzled...... “No go away kitty, I’m infected!”....... Stagger to the shower...... Scrub hard....... Still smell...... Smell so much I can taste it...... Two shots of Jack...... Burning in my stomach takes away the pain.
This was a bad experience. Nevertheless, I wanted to test it again (this time just one spray). I still didn’t like it, just too sweet and cloying. It’s possible that my first experience may have ruined it for me. However, to be safe, try before you buy.

my favorite perfume category for men is oriental fougere.so I fall for this one,just like xeryus rouge and so many other ones...
actually the first notes didn't sound good to me.it's just sharp and green.lavendar is touchable.it totally smells like soap with a touch of cigarette.
but I'm in love with the middle notes.it smells like bitter almond,mixed with vanilla in the best way possible.it's somehow sweet at the same time.whatever it is,I like it very much.
I like these kinds of gourmand,sweet & bitter scents on men very much.I think the name is pretty right for this perfume too.
I'm afraid that it was launched in 1996 and I've just discovered it!

It is a refreshing, sweet, and strong fragrance. The opening is a lil harsh so go easy on it. However, the drydown is amazing.

I don't like this one at all! Versace Man Eau Fraiche is WAY better.
The Dreamer smells like my grandma's wardrobe.

This is a Beautiful Frag. Tons of compliments from the moment its applied. I love the way it changes on my skin. Very Masculine and a head turner. It Draws Attention to you, and thats what we all want. Had a chance to buy it in the 90's, but i turned away. And to think......I hesitated.

This is one of those colognes that I first picked up and was like woof....this is disgusting, but as time progressed it grew on me and now I like it. It's kind of like having your first drink of alcohol. The minute you sip it, its bitter and flat, but once you see the effects and the variations you love it. Overall I really like this cologne, but its not going in my top 5.

After so many rave reviews for this frangrance, I figured I'd try it out.

It made top 10s and is considered a daytime player's fragrance. I didn't know what to expect.

The opening notes are very flowery. The mandarin makes it manlier. Smells okay.

Middle notes are too flowery for me.

For the base notes I was expecting something woodsy ... but I got something soapy/detergent a bit chemically. Not a bad soapy ... it's different. Quite unusual. Complex. It's nice but it doesn't fit me.

I guess I had high expectations. Sillage and longevity is not too good for me. I do understand where Versace comes from for calling Dreamer.

I'm in love with this fragrance and with the man who wears it, my boyfriend! ;-)
I think it's very original (it's not so diffused), so particular and so sexy for a man! I think it's quite sweet for a male fragrance, and it is the reason why it's so original!
men, try it!!!

True that the first 5 minutes (top notes) smells harsh and acrid. But after that, it smells heavenly. Sweet tobacco and ambery all day. And it lasts long too. 2 thumbs up.

i love this fragrance. it smells very distinctive in a good way and the dry down is one of the best. i bought this in new york. le male was sold out and the sales woman told me this was similar. thought at one time le male was still better, but now that im older this is not only better, i wear this almost every other day. fits my lifestyle almost to the t.

A louder and more upscale Versace Blue Jeans. It is great for formal wear and extremely long lasting. It is great for romantic occasions and it is sweet, but not too much, it is rather oriental-woody-aromatic.

I've owned a bottle ever since it debuted in 1996, to replace my previous ckOne phase. Pretty good segway, considering it was light (back then it was considered a light scent), and not too serious. To this day I must have a bottle to go back to and "remember".

Another website lists the notes as juniper, lily, tobacco, amber, and tarragon. I agree with this more than what is listed here on Fragrantica.

I've always considered this a unisex scent. I barely smell any tobacco, and this scent is mostly about lily in my opinion--very floral.

If you can't grasp around a scent like ckOne, Dune Pour Homme, and Joop! Homme, you'll walk away from Dreamer.

Lately I've sampled (and now own) Thierry Mugler's Alien. I was surprised at how similar they smelled but didn't carry the heaviness of tobacco and Alien finished cleaner. Both just as potent. Alien, however, makes a fine replacement for a smoother journey into the skies!

Strange composition, a combo of ingredients that doesn't tell me what it really is. Something here pretends to be sweet, but sounds more artificial than natural. I can't get a good tobacco note. The beginning reminds me Laguna Homme, by Salvador Dali. Pretty strong and long lasting too. I tried more than once, and I couldn't like it at all.

Hands down !!! This is my favorite masculine perfume. Very romantic, classy, sweet flowery blended with tobacco and tonka bean, contrasting fresh and creamy notes. This is a perfect perfume for a real bohemian and dreamer man.

The Dreamer can become a Nightmare if overapplied. Its top notes are really strong and may induce a terrible headache.

Overall, The Dreamer is a beautifully done floral oriental fragrance for men. Although they list mandarin orange within its top notes, I can only smell flowers during the long presence of The Dreamer on my skin.

Different from any other fragrance that I know. Highly recommended.

The opening of Dreamer is a Sage-Lavender accord underneath a sweeeeeet Lily note.

From the heart, and fighting their way to the top, are more sweet florals... Iris, Carnation, Rose, Geranium. By now there are so many sweet floral notes that it doesn't even smell like flowers anymore, it has become a sweet solo beast. That many flowers together stops it from being floral and focuses just on the sweet. This borders on the amount of sweet florals I like, or can tolerate, in a fragrance. It's head is in the clouds. The reason it doesn't go past my limit is because it's not a sugary-sweet. Strangely addictive.

The base notes help to ground it a little as they steadily grow, bringing Tobacco, Tonka, Fir, and a touch of Vetiver. The sweet floral accord hangs on well into the dry down. The finale is a fading Fir-Amber accord, lightly spicy. Longevity is average. Apply lightly, it could be a monster.

I like it, for when I want something very different.
Spring, daytime.

Had this one 7 years ago.

The top notes were overwhelming, in my honest opinion. But the middle and base notes were sweet, and that's what I loved about this perfume.

what a fragrance!
strange, loud, reckless, dominating, recognizable.
probably for a man who doesn't take life very seriously ... can't stand any limits, but likes harmony and elegance.

my first association: Le Male, and, as perryforever wrote, Joop!Homme.
Dreamer and Le Male have lavender, tonka bean and cedar in common.
Dreamer and Joop!Homme have mandarin orange and tonka bean in common.
seems not very much, but if like those two, you should like Dreamer.

the scent is like leather and tobacco.

but I would never want my man to smell of this, it gives me a terrible headache.

I'm not sure about this one. It has a really funny smell in it's base notes it smells like talcum powder. It's in the same family as Joop (which the ex partner also wore) but I prefer the Joops

Dreamer... a very good name as this fragrance rly makes me dream. It has a heavy scent, indeed sweet, but perfect for romantic ocassions, cold days & night parties :P.

As for the notes.. it has a start that might be a bit harsh, but after the drydown it rly takes a wonderful turn. I can feel the tabacco & rose notes from the start to the very end when the woody notes come (fir & cedar) & make the scent rly something.
I for one adore it, but as a suggestion: try it before u buy it.

Very nice fragrance, could even pass as unisex really. Smells very nice on a man, it's more for romantic occasions than others because it's a bit sweet. Smelled it on one of my friends and loved it.
