That is the best description of 'The Dreamer' I've heard online. One of my all time favourites. I was born in 77 and been wearing it since my 20's. I'd add Lancome Hypnose for under £30 which i adore.A great date scent when you don't want a shouty scent. Zara's 'Scent#1' a copy of Le Labo's 'Santal 33' for £10 is brilliant value. Please give it a go. I walked into Le Labo's shop in Soho and had a cheeky tester and seriously was amazed at how similiar it was. £180 for the original 100ml or a tenner from Zara? Also picked up a bottle of Lempicka Homme 2018 for £20 just because i don't want to use up my original ' Au Masculin' or the Intense version that i own. Great but just not as sweet as the original but a very good replacement. Performance issue with it still but amazing smell still. Ferrari ' Essence Oud' for £14 is another i picked up for the Winter. Bit off the subject but i picked up a copy of Gaultier2 on my hols in greece for £7 for 30ml which is so close to the original its untrue ! Its very Oily but lasts an age !
I wore The Dreamer yesterday and today! Quite rare for me to wear the same fragrance two days running but it was the first time I'd worn it in ages and I just thought, 'Why have I not worn this in ages?' Love it. Nice picks in there sir and I must try out The Lalique.
For years I've wanted to try Lalique ...but I've heard it has no projection? Great list. Problem with me is that I don't like "fresh" scents. I love heavy hitters. I love leathery, boozy, tobacco, oudish and animalic skank. Omg I had Esraa! Loved it. Rasasi is awesome imo. Thanks for the quick response I had to edit- balsam is like resinousy tree sap, which I love
Excellent presentation. You do a super job, keep up the great work. Here's an idea, what about a Clone- Off? For example comparing a major Niche or Designer cologne to most of the major clones or inexpensive fragrances. For example comparing Dior Sauvage to to 4 to 6 similar fragrances including, Perfume Parlour, Alexandria Fragrances, Armaf Ventana and also including Prada Luna Rossa Carbon and Dylan Blue.
Love the intro 😂😂😂 Ive yet to smell a Rasassi I didnt like. Because they are so cheap I blind bought Enteba and Hawas and enjoy them both. Enteba is unique with a little Creeed SMW opening and Hawas is a generic women pleaser compared to Invictus Aqua.
Lalique Pour Homme is a real grower- it took me by surprise at first after owning several other Lalique fragrances. I wasn't expecting the vintage vibe- but once I got past that, it is an extremely well done fragrance. Longevity is very good and the projection is gentlemanly- not beastly, but enough. Very calm and classic scent!
Great job as always Mr. Smelly! Your picture of Maurice Roucel had me in stitches! You and Smurfygurly have the best fragrance reviews out there. Keep up the good work. My best inexpensive buy of the year is "Mountain Man" EDT by Stirling Soap Company. It is a spot-on clone of Silver Mountain Water. Unbelievable value! Not sure if their EDT is available in the UK yet.
I really like the dreamer it was the last fragrance they realeased with Gianni Versace still running the company and the smell is very nostalgic without feeling dated
I have a form of synesthesia where I can often see smells. It was much more pronounced when I was younger. I've also been wearing the dreamer for yours. I've always seen a slight purple haze when I smelled. I've gotten many compliments over the years because of the dreamer. It looks like it's experiencing a resurgence in popularity
Lalique Pour Homme was my scent of day - so true regarding scent description, great performance (in cold NE US weather); a great Smelly recommendation from past vids that has garnered a compliment pour moi. One more recommendation for Dreamer; may eventually check out. Great intro as always. Cheers!
Picked up Lalique Pour Homme earlier this year, and definitely agree on that one being a great cheapie. Also picked up Lalique Encre Noire a L’Extreme and Encre Noire Sport- the whole house seems to be a great value.
"I don't get tons of compliments all the time." I can relate. I think it's the intimidation factor of either our dashing good looks or our formidable scents or a combination thereof. Seriously, though. That one time the lady working at the DMV gushed over the Mugler Cologne I was wearing made me want to hug her. 😆Come to think of it, I hadn't come within 10 feet of her in the room when she did so. Maybe that's a bit telling as well.
Lalique pour Homme excellent buy. Equs by Lalique another good buy. The Laventure excellent for the price. Have to try the Rasasi. BTW Balsam is a type of conifer. Ever try Vera Wang? Happy Christmas to you and Smurfygirl. Peace and be well my friend ✌
hey smelly - good list always wondered when reviewrs say "this smells a bit synthetic" what do they/you mean arent most of the notes used in the majority of fragrances man made rather than natural even for so called niche perfumes - i mean i cant imagine someone distilling apples/plums/pear/coffee/tobacco or even woody/floral notes whatever in the manufacture of the perfume surely the main thing is if it smells nice GREAT INTRO BTW
I have to say I'm a little surprised. I thought Versace's "The Dreamer" smelled more like Bogart Pour Homme. Further Dolce and Gabbana pour homme smells better IMHO than either Bogart pour homme or Versace "The Dreamer".
Awesome Awesome want to try DREAMER so bad because of the presentation. Never bought it though, just skipped over it because I felt like I ALREADY have too many Tobacco Scents at the moment. Realizing that the NOTE is a more synthetic version of Tobacco is comforting in a weird way lol
1) Hanae Mori HM 3.4 oz $25 2) Rochas Man 3.4 oz $24 3) Azzaro Pour Homme Intense 3.4 oz $28 4) Encre Noire Sport Lalique 3.4 oz $23 5) Eau de Rochas 3.4 $21
Dreamers a good fragrance, doesnt get the love it deserves. On me the projection a sillage is beast mode, and I'm one of the few that would appear to like the opening too. Bang for your Buck.
Captain Scensible needs to launch his own fragrance line!
Yes!!!
CPT Scent-sible would, but Aqua de Parma already released it! LOL!!!
Best intros in the game
Thanks Bruno!

You always expose us to these obscure gems no one else typically talks about or even knows about.
I very much appreciate that! Thanks Dan.
Thanks very much DYO. Your support means a lot to me .

Great idea. Whilst we are on the subject..are there any good cheap clones of JPG le male
My favorite in this price range is Encre Noir L'Extreme. From your picks I only know The Dreamer and I quite like it!
I've been a fan of this particular Lalique since it was released,solid recommendation 👌👌👌

Best intro lol
Thanks quame.
You deserve so many more subs!
Thanks Grim. I'm working on it!

I was expecting to see it fall down...
I don't see it?? 🤔

Again amazing content and information and let me say that I’m glad you say inexpensive as opposed to cheap like many TH-camrs reviewers. Blessings.
That intro is beastmode!

What a great review! Loved the introduction... Ha Ha Ha!!!
Nice tips. Big fan of the Lalique Pour Homme. You're right, a very gentlemanly, old school scent.
L'aventure Knight is a great inexpensive clone . . . thanks for sharing !
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to both you and Claire . . .
Very interresting list Dan! I have been curious about the Lalique one and The Dreamer and it was very helpful to get your opinion on them. Thank you!
Great video as always Dan. I enjoy the Old school vib Frags that you love so much. Best regards James
Should be getting Lalique pour homme edp in the mail today as well as Guerlain Heritage edt. Nice choices Dan!

Haha yeah I never get compliments, but when I do it makes my week
interesting selection. interested in the lalique,gomez and versace numbers. nice video mr smelly, thanks
Lalique pour homme is lovely. The citrus open is not too strong and I like when citrus opens to mid notes quickly like this
Have you tried vibrant leather by Zara? Bought 120ml bottle today for £19.99 and it smells fantasic 👌🏼
Lalique pour Homme excellent buy. Equs by Lalique another good buy. The Laventure excellent for the price. Have to try the Rasasi. BTW Balsam is a type of conifer. Ever try Vera Wang? Happy Christmas to you and Smurfygirl. Peace and be well my friend ✌
That RASASI looks nice!!!
hey smelly - good list
always wondered when reviewrs say "this smells a bit synthetic" what do they/you mean
arent most of the notes used in the majority of fragrances man made rather than natural
even for so called niche perfumes - i mean i cant imagine someone distilling apples/plums/pear/coffee/tobacco or even woody/floral notes whatever in the manufacture of the perfume
surely the main thing is if it smells nice
GREAT INTRO BTW
I have to say I'm a little surprised. I thought Versace's "The Dreamer" smelled more like Bogart Pour Homme. Further Dolce and Gabbana pour homme smells better IMHO than either Bogart pour homme or Versace "The Dreamer".
It's just the tobacco note that is a bt similar. I agree the Dreamer is not very similar to D&G PH.
Tried the Lalique on your recommendation...I find it synthetic and cloying, unlike BdP...got headaches from it.
Love listening to this guy happy Xmas from ireland Mr smelly
Interested in the Lalique pour Homme!!That seems right up my Alley...but.. idk if Bogart pour Homme is a better buy for now.
Insurrection II Pure & Wild...one for daytime & the other for night.
Great picks mr smelly , did
You get hold of Neil ? He works as a personal trainer in my gym but haven't seen him last few weeks
Merry Christmas Mr. Smelly!
Awesome Awesome want to try DREAMER so bad because of the presentation. Never bought it though, just skipped over it because I felt like I ALREADY have too many Tobacco Scents at the moment. Realizing that the NOTE is a more synthetic version of Tobacco is comforting in a weird way lol
Great video Dan :) Can you compare L'Venture Night and Armaf Tres Nuit ? Which one is better as a GIT clone ? :)
L’Aventure is easily better. Tres Nuit is still good but not as good as the Al Haramain.
birthday present for someone sorted! thank you!
Thanks Lori. It's a;ways great to know my video helped someone.
It always seemed to me that the oldest cheap fragrance is Old Spice, which I never see anyone review
Cool review Captain
1) Hanae Mori HM 3.4 oz $25
2) Rochas Man 3.4 oz $24
3) Azzaro Pour Homme Intense 3.4 oz $28
4) Encre Noire Sport Lalique 3.4 oz $23
5) Eau de Rochas 3.4 $21
Good list!
Rochas man is lovely, think i need another bottle of that
yea, i´m going to order l´aventure knight and lalique pour homme as well
I think you'll be really happy with both.
DAAAAAAMN. I love the all shade thrown in the video lmao.
always a pleasure!
Finally, someone else who associates fragrances with colours.
I might go for Lalique pour homme.
Nice video as always
Awesome Mate.
full review for the dreamer plisss
I might do that!
Does Esraa come with a genie, or that extra?
the cheapest ,amouage reflection, and creed aventus
Well done Again!
Thanks Dante!
Kinda 20 spray job 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it.
Dan, is that you playing the piano ?
he told me to say that, or he'll kick me in the ass!!! lol
Congrats on the Spanish pronunciation. Quite good indeed.
احسنت يا صديقي
I blind bought dreamer, it's ok, but now I use it as air freshener in the bathroom
Sometimes these cheapies end up getting used that way! But I think it is a great fragrance and not just for the toilet.
@@MrSmelly1977 right, it is a decent scent
lolol
It smells slightly of urinal cakes so wouldn't feel out of place sprayed in a bathroom
Dreamers a good fragrance, doesnt get the love it deserves. On me the projection a sillage is beast mode, and I'm one of the few that would appear to like the opening too. Bang for your Buck.
I love the 1980's Porn film music at the end of these posts........aah.....memories..
"a 20 sprays job" haha.
😂😂😂😂 needed that laugh

First?
Second I think! Thanks Bruno.
Lmao
Thanks David!
