Good fabric softener

This fragrance seems descriptively somewhat difficult to grasp, and also its perception is strongly dependent on the respective sniffer. This can be easily seen in the contributions here, as the range of opinions on the "Dreamer" in my opinion is above average.

And indeed, even with myself and the same bottle, the impression is not always the same. At my very first test (on the forearm) I still thought "Hm, is now actually only lavender". At the second (fragrance cloud in front of face): "Ew, ashtray!". After the third attempt, I smelled marzipan.
I do not know how that came. I hope times, that were not all strokes. ;)

After prolonged use, however, my nose and the scent have freely synchronized, so I can give the following overall assessment:
The herbs indicated in the note list play only an absolute minor role. Differently the initially strong tobacco, but that loses in the drydown quickly in presence and then provides in the background to tame the sweeter and floral notes of the fragrance - in which presumably also the herbs have their share.

Clearly dominant in the "Dreamer" over the entire course of the fragrance is a very soft, soapy aura - where here the one of freshly softened laundry is meant. The fragrance gives me an almost tactile feeling of fluffiness - with a slight sweetness of marzipan (wherever that comes from, probably an effect of mixing amber with some of the herbal notes).
The "Dreamer" is truly a cuddly scent - but rather for one person; it's too innocent for more.

Nachkaufen I will him, although he is actually very nice, but probably not. The fragrance is a little too floral for me for a man, too fluffy for summer, too light for winter and probably stings the tobacco on a lady too much. To find the right wearing opportunity, apart from the cuddle evening at home, is really not easy here, and I think that might even be the main reason why it does not find more distribution. Because bad, so much should be said in conclusion, the "Dreamer" is truly not. Only he stands perhaps too much between all chairs.
