Ok so this order got to me from Amazon in less than 24 hrs and I paid no shipping- that was crazy- so I know where to order cologne for now on. First off, I'm a 35 year old man and have worn my decent share of cologne. Some random cologne memories: loved Happy and Aqua di Gio and some of the Hugos. Sort of liked Dirty English by Juicy, but the smell was a little too dirty. I didn't feel great wearing it- felt kind of edgy in it for whatever reason. Certain smells can do that, I believe.
Now to Dreamer- I got Versace Dreamer about 5 hours ago and think I've worn it long enough to give an informed review. This stuff is awesome. Moschino Uomo was my favorite cologne in the past and I still wear that here and there. I feel like Dreamer is a softer, more complete, happier, more seductive version of Uomo. Uomo smells really good and unique and sexy and powerful- but it's almost arrogant smelling when you compare it to Dreamer. Also, Uomo doesn't evolve as much throughout the day- it starts and ends about the same.
Dreamer is a more sophisticated fragrance. Over the last few hours, I feel like it has evolved into a clean, warm, comforting fragrance that kind of makes you feel good. I know that sounds odd- but it is really the case. With some cologne, you might wear it a few hours and then get tired of the smell. I've had that in the past. With Dreamer though, I feel like I could wear this day or night, to the office or out for play. I'm sold- best cologne I've ever had and I think I'll be wearing this bad-boy for years.
I can't stand cloying scents. Drakkar Noir got sprayed on me once at a department store and fifteen rubs with a giant chocolate chip cookie couldn't get the crap off me. Admittedly, later that day two female friends both admitted a kind of attraction to me, but I have a feeling it was more due to the scent of the cookie than the Drakkar Noir.
But I digress. I buy scent so infrequently that it took me a lot of time to pick a scent I actually liked. I'd wear lavender panty spray if I liked the smell and/or liked how my body chemistry worked with it. I'd gleefully condense the odor of a llama if it worked for me and I was happy with smelling like a llama. However, i also don't wear cologne like the average teenage male, with a fuggy hum of odor preceding them as they move throughout the room. I'm often reminded of the Axe generation that hasn't quite figured out that if I can smell them at ten paces, I'm certainly not going to be thrilled about it.
But after a female friend mentioned smelling this on an ex and going weak in the knees, I figured, "Okay, it can't be all THAT bad." Surprsingly, it works exceptionally well with my body scent. My natural notes are slightly musky and acrid, so the floral notes and citrus are an excellent counterpoint to what I smell like naturally, with a base that counters the acridness.
However, this scent does not work for everyone, just like bright purple eyeshadow will not attract a male (the breeding stock of the human population of Long Island to the contrary). It is a great scent, but like anything else, two short sprays on the neck and chest will be fine for any guy - more than that and you risk auditioning for a Real Life Axe Body Spray commerical - where yes, we can ALL smell how masculine you think you are.
