Nostalgia

This fragrance was created in 1996 by Jean-Pierre Béthouart. 1996? Gianni Versace was still alive! 1996 - I wasn't even in this world then and yet this fragrance triggers a certain nostalgia in me. I would have loved to have admired the fashion creation Versaces and witnessed the release of this fragrance myself. But unfortunately, I was born in this millennium. Generation "No Bock".
The bottle is heavenly. Erotic, simple and yet somehow extravagant and very special. The milky head of Medusa has particularly impressed me. Luxurious, but definitely not prolific. The nebulizer is also very good, whereas the cap, in which the nebulizer is already integrated, could be a little more "steadfast".
To the packaging. Dark blue background, a few stars in the distance. In silver it says Versace - The Dreamer. If you now close your eyes, you think, I at least, of a cool summer night in which you lie with your beloved on a meadow, laugh a lot and admire the stars. Beautiful and truly dreamy.
But how does this scent smell now?
SYNTHETIC. Yes, Versaces The Dreamer smells synthetic, but still beautiful.
At the beginning of the composition it smells very flowery and almost feminine. You have to deal with that. Personally, I think it's great. The top note is somewhat more masculine and thus rounded off by slightly spicy notes which, however, seem to stay in the background.
Then the fragrance becomes a little "powdery". Pretty sweet and perfect for a cool summer night. In my opinion, it will be a little spicier here, too.
Towards the end, many think that The Dreamer should resemble the Le Male by JPG. Personally I find there only with much fantasy a similarity.

The fragrance was apparently reformulated several times and I would love to smell the original. And yet I float in nostalgia, although I haven't lived there yet.

The shelf life is pretty good. The Sillage is very strong at first, but then decreases rapidly. In my opinion this fits perfectly to the image of this fragrance. First loud, exciting and then very sensual and close.
