Fragrance Note Deception: Flower Water Instead of Top 100
Well, blind purchases don’t always deliver what they promised in the fragrance notes.
Personally, I came across this scent because I absolutely love "Tabarome Millésime | Creed," and the Dreamer was indicated as "similar." Similarity? Not a trace, at least not to my nose.
Here, Versace merely offers a light floral water, minimal powderiness can be detected, otherwise the perfume leaves me rather puzzled regarding the notes.
Where are the juniper, artemisia, amber, or the tobacco flower that I had hoped for so much?? If it weren’t clearly marketed as a men’s fragrance, I probably would have never categorized it that way; "unisex" just wasn’t a topic at the time of its creation.
For the H/S, "average" probably best describes my opinion. For a few hours, you are surrounded by a slightly synthetic, matte floral garden, but after that, it’s all over.
In my eyes, the bottle is quite beautiful, and the sprayer is something different.
Overall, it’s a fragrance that will likely move on from me, and I can’t recommend it as a blind purchase, nor would I suggest it unless there is absolute enthusiasm for it.
P.S.: How this fragrance managed to make it into the Top 100 men's fragrances (at the time I'm writing this #89) is a mystery to me…

Ich hätte den eher an meiner Tochter (19) gesehen als an mir.
