by Versace
The Dreamer by Versace is a uniquely floral tobacco fragrance that unfolds with a fresh, herbal opening dominated by juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, which some find synthetic or sharp. It settles into a soft, powdery white floral heart led by iris and lily, with a subtle, sweet tobacco flower note adding depth without being overpowering. The dry down features a gentle amber warmth and a clean, soapy sweetness reminiscent of fresh linen or bathroom cleaner. It projects moderately for the first 2-3 hours and remains present as a skin scent for up to 8 hours, though longevity is often described as moderate or weak. Its character is iconic and old-school, walking a delicate line between unisex elegance and masculine sophistication, making it best suited for cooler seasons and intimate occasions. While some find it overly powdery or artificial, others praise its serene, dreamlike quality and nostalgic charm. Its affordability and distinctive composition make it a valued addition to a fragrance collection.
