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

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.

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.
