by Jean-Pierre Bethouart

Versace Dreamer The Original Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Sage, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, Carnation, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Fir Resin, Cedar, and Tonka Bean.

Our verdict on Dreamer The Original Edition: Acquired

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Whilst some are absolutely besotted with its unique charm, calling it a masterpiece of tobacco and florals, others reckon it's a harsh, powdery mess that belongs in a bygone era. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for drama.

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for casual wear and suitable for dates, where its unique character can shine without being overpowering. The strong opening and distinct tobacco-floral blend might be too much for formal settings or sports, and some find it too 'old-school' for a modern office.

About

Opening with a sharp, aromatic blend of lavender and sage, softened by a touch of mandarin, Dreamer soon settles into its distinctive heart. Here, rich tobacco intertwines with rose and geranium, creating a sweet, floral, and slightly powdery core. The dry down is a warm, woody embrace of vetiver, fir resin, cedar, and tonka bean, leaving a lingering, unique impression that's both comforting and a bit intriguing.
