The dry down is gorgeous. Smells like a niche Tobacco based Fragrance. It gives of an air of authority and wealth that you get with some Fragrances like Aventus or Terre Hermes. The Dreamer is in that exact same category. Young high school girls may not care for it but older classier women will love it.
The dry down is great. I spray just 3 spots and it's good for the work shift. It is simplicitic though. It's something I wear when I know something is happening at work and I want to be serious. It smells like paper work and dinner meetings. Like trustworthy but wears alot of jewelry. Like a manager that had an affair with a coworker and is currently trying to make it up to his wife without her knowing about it. lol
Your fragrance reviews are so unique, your tone of voice with the slight music in the background with the dancing hands its like a sorcerer reeling us in to his magical hut to a supernatural journey of alchemy of perfume 🙂
I'm so glad you got to review The Dreamer, ATH! t's one of my favorite fragrances, and I love spraying some on right before I go to bed. The lavender becomes more dominant the longer it dries down.
Such a timeless fragrance! I agree with you, it is simple and a bit of cedarwood would really work with this combination of notes. Thanks as always for the review man keep doing your thing!
I LOOOOOVE this fragrance. Reminds me of a long-lost friend from the 90s. Truly like a nostalgic dream of times long past. Makes me emotional for reasons I cannot explain.
i blind bought the dreamer and i absolutely love it. i started decanting and my 10ml bottles of the dreamer sold out first... so people around me love it too. wonderful fragrance.
blind bought as well and just received it five minutes ago while I write this. Did you find the initial spray to smell very "in your face" air freshener? yet you wait 5-10 minutes and its a COMPLETELY different scent but very lovely....
Albeit synthetic a bit, I think it' s one of the most unique designer fragrances. After confusing start it becomes classy and sexy to my nose...and for price point really fantastic. Great review, as always ;)
I started wearing "Dreamer" in 2003 ( 17 years ago ) and it was very strong. Could still smell on myself after 16 hours. Now after reformulation it doesn't last 2 hours on me. So disappointed because this was my signature fragrance. I loved everything about it.
In my opinion this is a long lasting "skin scent" fragrance. On me it projects for 2 hours and then becomes very soft, so it's more for a closer space like Netflix and chill with your girl you know.
Great review! I bought a bottle of The Dreamer today and it smells great! It will be one of my signature scents (along with Eros le parfume, Acqua di Gio profondo, Bleu de Chanel EDP and Cedrat Boise).
I have to say thankyou for giving me the idea of adding sandalwood to this fragrance because it really does add something special. I have a very linier soft spice and sandalwood fragrance that I rarely use, but using it under my shirt as a body mist and lightly around my clavicle before applying The Dreamer as the main fragrance on top just gives the overall scent an amazing balance and body that smells much more luxurious than the combined cost of the 2 fragrances. I'm always trying combinations of fragrances this way, many have failed or just cancel each other out, but adding sandalwood to the Dreamer is simply amazing, thank you for such a great idea.🤗
They wouldn't use real tobacco flowers here, Have real tobacco flowers extract and its so expensive. This is a lovely aromachemical assimilation. Amazing for the price. Hope your well and coping in this period Tony.
@@AaronTerenceHughes I'm doing OK. Thank you! Well, it's obviously not real tobacco flower, but it's nice. I'm getting a similar vibe from the neroli vetiver blends. It smells like a variation of the woody floral accords.
I still wear this cologne because you are buying 4 colognes into one... it has a little bit of a mixture (layering jpg le male, Dolce & gabana pour homme and cigars cologne and sometimes boss bottled by hugo boss) There you go.... you'll have The dreamer by versace... I simply love this cologne. Can't live without it.... Down here in Brazil (midwest - goiania) when I wear it I just get compliments and people say "goddamn it" what magical cologne is that? I know it is a little bit different from the 96 batch. But still there! love it too much.
Been wearing this since the 90’s. Gotten more compliments with the Dreamer than anything else. In fact, one of my girlfriends asked me the other day, “Why don’t you wear that cologne that smells like sweet milk anymore?” She was talking about the Dreamer.
Awesome! How’s the projection? Performance? Either way, this has been on my list for far too long, it inexpensive and should just jump the gun and purchase it ASAP.
Just purchased a bottle. Thanks for breaking it down for me. It smells nice but simple, just like you said. Sits really close to the skin after a couple of hours. Appreciate your wisdom.
My friend has the original vintage of The Dreamer. Smells completely different - this one has not the best performance, but at that price one can spray a bit more than usual!
Only cologne I consider “my scent” Tobacco elements are my favorites. Only cologne I’ve worn that made people ask what’s the fragrance. Then they were wearing it a few weeks later
Excellent review Aaron as usual this is such a polarising fragrance people either love t or or hate it due to the heavy synthetic blast on the opening..but on my skin after around ten minutes the iris note comes out supported by a heavy herbal aroma..and alsothis lasts for hours on my skin probably down to the synthetics used in the fragrance..great review mate and hope your doing well my friend and keep up the great work..
Just received today 100 ml. bottle. I don't like the start frankly. But the drydown is really nice. I smell something familiar but I can't tell what exactly. It is something between Cartier Declaration and Salvatore Ferragamo F black to me. It kind of mixture of honey and tobacco. Very nice.
The way its built. So if a fragrance is built to be robust and has something exciting about it then its classic. Like black orchid, La Male. You know what they are. Dated can be well built but built for the time period. I think 10 years from now we will look at the Ambroxan monsters like this. Oh yes I owned X but I got board.
I personally hope Versace keep this fragrance forever. It's one I will immediately repurchase when I finish a bottle. This is a chilling at home in comfy loungewear with no underwear on fragrance. Comfy but a little sexy. Timeless for me.
Hi Aaron! Lovely video as always! Haven't never smellt this before, but I love a tobacco note. You said Coumarin, in what way is it manipulated in this?
Blimey--you're reviewing fragrances and never heard the name Versace pronounced before?! I think half the reason the fragrance is simple is that it's Italian. Thanks for a quick yet detailed review.
Please test ysl y edp. Everyone is praising it and I don't get the hype at all. For my taste it isn't fresh, it's rather in your face, way too strong and headache inducing.
@@RichardOliver damn, im glad that someone else feels like it. Because I was like: what am I missing out on this fragrance? I gave it so many chances, on warm days, cold days, lots of sprays, few sprays. Nothing clicked, it was just annoying. After all im gonna give my bottle away.
For me it is not headache inducing, but I do agree that it is not fresh. People say it can be a spring/summer fragrance, but I don't see it with how sweet it smells to me. I'd wear it as a fall scent primarily. I like it, but I'd rather pick something like Versace Eros over it.
What was the main differences with the yellow juice version? The notes listed on Fragrantica between the 1996 version and 2010 version are completely different. (Aside from a close Tobacco/Tobacco Blossom)
Well he doesn t really review it well which i m surprised. He simply judges it off the top note only and doesn t get into the performance of it. Also has a taste in which mostly strong and overpowering fragrances beat more simplistic and crowd pleasing fragrances which isn t a problem but still, you might have a different taste, you trust aaron, you buy it and just don t like it. With all of this said you can get passed this opinion but not including it s performance and also judge it off the top note it s a big problem
@@makerl1fe388 Your welcome to go to another reviewer. There are hundreds. I do things my way. As a perfumer I can tell how the fragrance will preform. Why? Well I use these raw materials every day. All I need it about 5-10 seconds to make up my thought process. I can smell past the top notes right down the supporting back bone to the musks that are use. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. Hope your well.
@@AaronTerenceHughes I think you'd appreciate them mate, very well put together and really good quality for the price, well the few I've tried 🙂 Man Eau Fraiche is one of them "blue freshies" that's everywhere but has little unique touches that thankfully make different enough
I blind bought this in 2011 and fell in love with it. The drydown is gold.
I bought it pretty recently blindly and love it 1 of my favourite
@@smorris227 and it lasts very long...
I just bought it at first it smells like flower Pickles... the dry down smells better but it don't last long

Better than any of Aarons fragrances

"Mugwart, apparently can make you hallucinate.."
"I'm not sure why they call it The Dreamer"
I wear this with patchouli oil, it's a lovely combo. Also they say this is the last scent that Giani Versace had any say in developing.
Youre great Aaron, theres no one i trust more to hear talk about fragrances. I hope you know how unique you are.

There’s two different versions the 1996 and 2013 release they have both on Amazon
This will forever be in my collection so sentimental to me!

Thank you:)
perfect date scent. it's unique. also, great performance
I'm not a fan of Versace at all, but Dreamer made me fall in love with tobacco flower, which I didn't even know they used in fragrances before.
They wouldn't use real tobacco flowers here, Have real tobacco flowers extract and its so expensive. This is a lovely aromachemical assimilation. Amazing for the price. Hope your well and coping in this period Tony.

I ordered one a couple days ago I finished my first bottle and I love it , it’s a steal for the price lovely smell
Just got a bottle of it yesterday as a blind buy, was looking for something new. I really like it! It's subtle and lasts long on your skin 👍
Aaron dear, could you make a video about your tattoos. I’m curious when and why you got them all
We might be doing something like this in the future. Just talking-to Video Unicorn about it.
Aaron Terence Hughes that would be awesomeness
Yes this!!
I still wear this cologne because you are buying 4 colognes into one... it has a little bit of a mixture (layering jpg le male, Dolce & gabana pour homme and cigars cologne and sometimes boss bottled by hugo boss) There you go.... you'll have The dreamer by versace...

Amazing value for money. I also find it extremely original.
omg finally yes bro!
it's one of my favourites :) very comforting, cozy, and perfect for daydreaming :)
Been wearing this since the 90’s. Gotten more compliments with the Dreamer than anything else. In fact, one of my girlfriends asked me the other day, “Why don’t you wear that cologne that smells like sweet milk anymore?”
She was talking about the Dreamer.
This has singlehandedly put me off buying it , who wants to smell like sweet milk
@@rileybarker1240 sweet milk with a splash of rose water . lol
Maybe the description is putting you off. She was probably referring to it smelling floral and creamy. Not so much like milk. Lol
Wow... this is old school I've still got half a bottle of this from 10+ years ago 🤪 was 1 of my favs
Awesome! How’s the projection? Performance? Either way, this has been on my list for far too long, it inexpensive and should just jump the gun and purchase it ASAP.
This guy is ace.. Love his reviews
Just purchased a bottle. Thanks for breaking it down for me. It smells nice but simple, just like you said. Sits really close to the skin after a couple of hours. Appreciate your wisdom.
Contrary to what has been said, it does last quite a bit 6-8 hours before turning into skin scent. Lovely review!
I disagree with you, the longevity on skin is maybe like 6h yeah but the skin scent vibe comes 2h hours after the sprays...
It might be the case of skin chemistry/formulation/amount of sprays as I am a heavy user...
A timeless classic with a beautiful drydown. Wonderful enigmatic music in the background btw 👍
Thank you. We choose the music ages ago.
My friend has the original vintage of The Dreamer. Smells completely different - this one has not the best performance, but at that price one can spray a bit more than usual!
Which version of The Dreamer is this? The original (launched in 1996) or the newer one (launched in 2011)?
Finally could order 🥳 can’t wait to get my nose on onyx. Hope I can try the discovery box later. I’m happy that I can support You
I've used the dreamer for years, I still do. N I won't stop. It's a good fragrance.
Every time Aaron does a review i put on mozart as he composes the note break down. 🎶 🎵. This Guy is awesome 👌.
You sir!!! Just made me literally Blind buy this!!! Amazing work sir! Fantabulous!!!
Great review dear Aaron.
Hope you will do Tsar Van Cleef and Arpels 🔥
I tried a few fragrances in a shop today. This was my pick of the day. I just love the scent and the price is fantastic for what you get.
I've seen dreamer and the dreamer advertised
Are there 2 different kinds?
Love it! Artistic and unique... a masterpiece in my opinion
Well done Sir! I am now a fan of your channel!
Every time I TH-cam a fragrance to find out more about it, you’ve literally made a recent review about it. Something psychic going on there.
It caught me off guard when you only said “I’m fantastic” and didn’t follow it with “and I’m doing really well”
Did you like blue jeans over this one? They are about the same price value.
Bought this last year, very impressed 😊 this and d n g pour homme are my current tobacco frags
Only cologne I consider “my scent”
Tobacco elements are my favorites. Only cologne I’ve worn that made people ask what’s the fragrance. Then they were wearing it a few weeks later
Hello! Dreamer is discontinued? I don’t see that on Versace Official Website... 🤷♂️
So pleased to see u do this 1
Thank you, Aaron, for this review! I’ve seen this in stores but never attempted to test it for some odd reason. 🤷♂️
Its worth a go for the money!
Is this comparable to the L‘Homme Versace from 1986-87?
i read somewhere that the formula has changed and that it is nothing like it used to be, is that correct?
Hey Aaron random question, do you use Calone in some of your creations? What do you think of the smell?
Excellent review Aaron as usual this is such a polarising fragrance people either love t or or hate it due to the heavy synthetic blast on the opening..but on my skin after around ten minutes the iris note comes out supported by a heavy herbal aroma..and alsothis lasts for hours on my skin probably down to the synthetics used in the fragrance..great review mate and hope your doing well my friend and keep up the great work..

Wow! Thank you ATH for reviewing this lovely perfume.
First positive review of The Dreamer I came across.
what's it's staying power? Does it layer if short lasting?
Is this perfume for summer or winter?
In your opinion, what makes a fragrance timeless as opposed to dated?
The way its built. So if a fragrance is built to be robust and has something exciting about it then its classic. Like black orchid, La Male. You know what they are. Dated can be well built but built for the time period. I think 10 years from now we will look at the Ambroxan monsters like this. Oh yes I owned X but I got board.

My pleasure
Would love to see you make your own version of this ..

Comfy but a little sexy. Timeless for me.

After a nice warm shower it really sticks for hours! My entire work day and then some 👍
Interesting, where did you buy this from Aaron 🦄
What about projection and aura?
Aaron!! How do you keep your sense of smell soo keen?? I feel like I’ve lost mine and I love scents. Is there something you do?
I develop fragrance 7 days a week. But my sense of smell was really acute.
Bought this based on bottle design. It's my go to comfort scent
Hi Aaron! Lovely video as always!
Haven't never smellt this before, but I love a tobacco note. You said Coumarin, in what way is it manipulated in this?
Its used to stop a dry amber fragrance becoming too dry and empty. Its a lovely note
@@AaronTerenceHughes Oh, okey! Thank you for clarifying 😊
There’s nothing narcotic about it but I like its simplicity and French like appeal. Great review.
Hello Aaron what would be a good sent for someone who likes YSL L'Homme?
Aaron, try it again the dry down ,it’s heaven
I bought this fragrance for my boyfriend about a year ago and he still loves it and uses it every day 😊💕 smells like my baby
Hahaha

We just sold out of everything overate weekend. We are about to move factories in the next week, then will have more stock for sale.

Leonard Martin same here! I wear tested YSL Y vs YSL LH (each arm) and after an hour I *loved* LH but couldn’t stand the Y. Synth headache fruit.
For me it is not headache inducing, but I do agree that it is not fresh. People say it can be a spring/summer fragrance, but I don't see it with how sweet it smells to me. I'd wear it as a fall scent primarily. I like it, but I'd rather pick something like Versace Eros over it.
