@@boyan5355 I have no clue why they would ha. But look at others that were great, sold well but still discontinued you have, Gucci Envy men, Versace Man. VERSACE Black jeans edt, Midnight in paris and many more. It happens sometimes.
It will be not discontinued. This fragrance exists since 1986 and is actually the very last fragrance made by Gianni Versace him self. This fragrance is part of the history of the brand.
No matter how many colognes I continue to add to my collection there is something special to me about Versace the dreamer. It takes me back to being a kid in a hotel lobby when smoking was allowed indoors. The feeling you got in the 80’s/90’s going to Pizza Hut or the mall. Absolutely a timeless transportive scent
I keep a bottle of The Dreamer in my collection. Been rocking with it since '96. Doesn't smell dated to my nose either and it will still pull compliments.
Always have the dreamer in my rotation never know when it's needed or not it's just an all round great inexpensive scent. That I've loved for years. Still do.
The Dreamer and Bvlgari Black are awesome. So underrated. Even the prices are to low. Also my GF loves to rock Bvlgari Black in colder weather wearing black on black.
I sprayed paco rabbone pour homme 3x on my chest around 5 years ago , now I have to get electrolysis once a week to remove the hair and all I can eat now is slim jims and pork rinds while I drive over the road in a semi truck
Versace the Dreamer… This fragrance smells like nothing else on the market. It feels like 1980’s Miami in a bottle. So unique and familiar at the same time. Back when people used to be able to smoke on planes and doing coke was luxurious. I will buy a bottle every time I stumble across one now.
The Dreamers magic works during the drydown. If you wear it on a jacket and top up the spray it smells even nicer. A cooler weather cologne, Gucci Guilty Absolute I have it but I've gotta try it later in the year. I'm 50/50 on that one.
Still sampling The Dreamer, not sure about a full bottle just yet. Just about everything about this frag is surprising. The evolution and the tobacco note is just amazing, though. I wore it to sleep and it had a peaceful, calming effect. Still looking for the ultimate non-sweet tobacco frag, but this is pretty up there, almost in a category of its own. Diamonds, 💎💎💎💎💎👍👍 A hidden gem. 😎 Awesome vid, Ash. I love it when you do these kind of unique / less well known frag lists that still have affordable designers and are not too full of expensive niche ones. Keep up the great work!
L'Eau Bleue de Issey is in fact the only Issey Miyake fragrance I have so far. I think bottle should have been rather dark green, or even grey or black, but not blue. The smell with the rosemary to me has a tea-like nuance, very relaxing, a la Zen. In my opinion a great all rounder of a fragrance!
When I first got into collecting fragrances and stopped being a "one bottle guy" I would see the majority of these all the time. I passed on all of them, except for The Dreamer, because all I saw were bad review after bad review talking about reformulation and how they're junk now. I wish I wouldn't have passed on them because now I know the majority of the time when people talk about reformulations they're just trying to sound like they know something.
Very Nice review Ash! Fragrance x has Blvgari Black for 30 bucks! Fragrance X actually has most of your line up today for under a 100 bucks for most everything you spoke about!
I feel like The Dreamer is almost like an improvement on Le Male, which is awesome because it's cheaper. It smells somewhat similar, but the tobacco completely changes it and just makes it smell more interesting IMO. It doesn't have the mint I don't think, but they both make heavy use of lavender and just generally seem to be built similarly, which makes sense since The Dreamer came out right after Le Male, which was an immediate success and everyone seemed to want to come out with something similar.
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Gucci guilty absolute pour homme and Versace the dreamer and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Hello Ash, how are you? Outstanding job on the video and list! I would love to see more videos like this one. That Paco I wore when I was a teen but girls didn't dig it 😂. Stay safe brother
Diamonds was my go-to back in high school. Definitely a compliment-puller back in 2007-2008. As for Kenzo, I fondly remember their scent called Tokyo. I absolutey loved it, and I'm sad it's so hard to find these days.
I would say, when it first came out, savauge did not fit in with other Dior fragrances. Dior was know for creative/bold fragrances like the old Dior homme line with iris and the Fahrenheit line known for the gasoline vibe. Dior savauge is very different from any of those.
Sauvage is just the best but i love the dreamer aswell. But Sauvage Elixir is next level you must have it if you hate Sauvage try it if you love Sauvage you will spin out as it is a total different fragrance from the edt, edp which is my favourite and the Parfum. Love Farenheit took me a while to get used to the Kerosene smell at the start but its just a chic magnet there is something in it thst makes women turn around only Dior knows what that is
I'm quite the newbie (at an advanced age) to all this but quite fascinated, and I've made my few initial purchases with which I'm mostly delighted. A question: would you similarly call Hermes' H24 a "stand out from its own brand"? I've sniffed the Terre d'Hermes varieties (and bought the Eau Vetiver Intense as the others were far too in-your-face citrusy for me), and when I sniffed H24, well...oh MY. Not like anything I've ever smelled anywhere any time. Certainly nothing like the Terre d"Hermes line, and I'm guessing it's nothing like anything else Hermes either, simply because, to my inexperienced nose, it's nothing like anything I've ever smelled in my life. Definitely not love at first sniff, but...yes, I finally bought it and it has grown on me remarkably. No way it can be a "signature scent" for me, but it's just the thing for when the mood hits.
Ash have you tried vintage paco rabanne pour homme with the raised R on the bottle? So much better than the new version IMO and mlre animalic with that honey note. Its a luv 4 me !! -Ramsey
Dune is such a selfish scent, for me LOL. It engulfs you in the most pleasant scent bubble. It quickly stays as a personal scent and is only smelt by really close encounters. I found that I spray myself 3 times a day to continue enjoying it. Even so...I still love it!
I have/had most of these . Gucci guilty absolute is the only one I liked from the guilty line, and still own till now , Versace the dreamer have had it like 6 or 7 times since release date and the first batches were killers then went down hill , like all the designer fragrances , bvlgari black had it , and been looking for it for a while now 😞 Never had m7 but I wanna buy it but all the reviews says it's nothing like the old m7 !! What's your take on that ?
Lalique L'Insoumis itself is great. Lalique is a very artsy house. I have and like Versace Dreamer, and it may stand out away from their house standard, but its DNA is very similar to Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme, Chanel Allure Homme, and Burberry London. I have and like them all. Dior Dune Pour Homme is fantastic. Smells like I've been climbing a fig tree all day. Fig leaf and fig tree bark. I wish it had a nice big fat juicy sweet fig fruit note on top. Its VERY green as it is. Its artsy and Dior should never discontinue it. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is one of my least favorite classic "barbershop" fougeres in my 50+ barbershop Fougere collection because it smells like cheap laundry soap to me. Oh, and I like Amouage Bracken Man, that stands out in relief somewhat from the Amouage usual. It's very similar to Houbigant Fougere Royale 2010 as a classic Fougere, but is even more earthy/rooty/soil/muddy dark green. Very well done by Amouage. It smells like the burial/dumping ground for mob hits - a marsh/swamp. They could have named this Jimmy Hoffa's Resting Place. Lol.
I enjoy "the dreamer", even though I've heard other reviewers compare it to "garbage water" ... no names ... Smoooches 💋 ... Drakkar I like but have a hard time finding the appropriate occasion to wear it
I feel like the color of Gucci Guilty probably stopped a lot of people from testing it. That dark brown color in a fragrance is almost like black and orange on a snake, designed to tell you not to get too close. I'm not even completely joking either, I think a lot of people associate that color with strong, mature fragrances generally.
Allright.. I'm sorry, but... I tryed Gucci Guilty Absolute and I really, really hate it from the bottom of my heart. It smelled like someone puked on me. Had to wash it off me right away. So I do understand why it didn't sold very well. :D
Versace is all over the place. NO WAY The Dreamer is the only outlier. You put that in as filler. You were 100% right about Paco Rabanne pour Homme though. It`s VERY different than the other stuff.
lamborghini millennials dinamico Recently bought it at tjmax for $17 and received alot of compliments. It's funny because there are no reviews at all, not even in fragrantica. Check it out.

I have it for night, dark clothes or wintertime.

These sound great! Specifically "The Dreamer" ill have to check this out! Great vid!
It smells exactly like a garbage bag
@@matyasd007 hahahhah when you put it like that, it really does
That Versace fragrance is a classic; I do like it.
Its worth the 20-25.
Don't expect a monster, but it has its own magic, even if it's quite similar to le male by JPG

Summer too?
@@snortchgortch4253maybe I'd choose a mild weather for better results but, it's a personal choice at the end of the day.
I always get compliments when i wear the dreamer.. iknow some people dont like it.. but it works for me🤷♂️ and i really love that 90"s feelin...
The dreamer on my pillow make me dreaming for sure.
Cool video! The face you made for the Gucci boys was priceless 😂! These fragz actually seem like they belong in my collection. Especially Dreamer!

Totally right, The Dreamer out there just doing its own thing. At the price, I'm gonna start having at least two back-up bottles at all times
Just got my bottle of the Dreamer, and it is 🔥 I love it. It is definitely like nothing I have in my collection.
The dreamer is fantastic ❤️💣👏

The dreamer smells nothing like le male tf
@@mlr3188 it does smell similar to Le Male on the dry down amd after a couple of hours.
Gucci Guilty Absolute is a true gem. I stocked myself up with it as the talk of discontinuation goes on for years. One never knows...
I love Bvgari black. Been rocking that for years
Every time I wear The Dreamer I get so many compliments I had to stop wearing it. Literally tired of saying what I'm wearing and where I bought it.
I always tell people it's something completely different, I do with a lot of the fragrances I own
The Dreamer so underrated. My signature scent from 100+ collection

The dreamer smells exactly like a rolled up cigarette. When you open a fresh pack of cigarettes stick your nose in it, that's the dreamer.
@Eris Sanis well I don't really get menthol from it, but I do get the paper smell from the cigarette. I think that's from the iso e super
