My favourite! Nice sweet fragrance with so many undertones. Very long lasting, not too expensive and it comes in a nice bottle. I’m gonna order my second bottle soon.
_aaa_ – :
I like this fragrance. I have good memories attached to this fragrance.(Versus also). It seems that current version is still the same but a bit lighter and fresher than the 90’s version. Unfortunately this was the last fragrance release before Gianni’s tragical ending.

Dreamer:
In fact, even after trying it, it remains a dream to smell it. Why do I say this?
Not even 20 minutes and the fragrance no longer exists even if the opening completely inebriated me. Good smell but the performance is to be improved!
NadinS – :
It’s a curious thing to put on a $20 drugstore fragrance and read reviews in which people are calling it a masterpiece. Just what does that mean? When I first got into all this, I would read reviews in which people said that kind of thing all the time, and sometimes I’d agree (sometimes I’d write them myself), but then, further along, standard changed for me; things like attention to note separation or ingredient quality became preoccupations in themselves, to say nothing of projection & longevity, the usual goal posts, or contemporaneity, which I consider largely irrelevant, but which I consider nonetheless.
IMO, The Dreamer is kind of a kind of masterpiece. It smells cheap. It is cheap. The bottle is kind of cool, but also looks like something I would have liked when I wanted to be a poète maudit in senior year… It has a mixed up citric assault of an opening, settles into a sort of three-stage accord (orange-sweetened abstract tobacco-flower with a touch of grade-school vanilla-scented eraser/tonka bean, freshly opened package of cigarettes, and woody punchbowl pipe tobacco mixed with fabric softener) that smells best wafting as sillage rather than directly on the skin. But it is a tobacco accord of many parts, exceedingly well put-together in a humble, breezy-but-deep, sort of way; the fir is a nice touch, as is the carnation…Both add some character to the tobacco idea. I suspect the vetiver is doing some good work holding things together in the long-lasting base (over 8 hours on me), but I’m not sure. The sage may be my favourite note in here, a savory piece of stealth.
Stealth is what makes the whole thing work, actually. The master stroke, as others have said, is the floating of this deliciously synthetic, fresh-pack-of-Camels impression over a kind of bleach-y geranium & lavender neo-fougère soapy tang that feels like a late spring/early autumn breeze riffling through a recently laundered shirt.. . The combination of dihydromyrcenol ‘fresh’-ness and dashing tobacco is missing a few things: the tobacco could use a little more texture (it has some; that’s good), the base sort of flattens out into something sweet and empty later like flat Cherry Coke in a way that might remind you of CK Shock…
But… But. The way it makes you want these things is of a continuum with what it offers: a sensation of fugitive warmth & aloof good looks; a hint of beauty as an asterisk between the parentheses of an old-school paternity. No wonder women supposedly enjoy this on their men (my wife does, actually, and said so right away.) In this, as in its open-ended butch/femme anomalies, it is a distant cousin of the autumnal, 90’s unisex stunner Chanel Egoïste, of all things. To paraphrase Joseph Kosuth: [perfumery] is not about the relationship of *things*, its about the relationship of relationships.
Some things in life are cheap but enjoyable within and because of their obvious limits. One hears of famous chefs sneaking off to eat at In & Out Burger or Popeye’s Chicken; I personally love Dr. Pepper, which kind of reminds me of The Dreamer, and tends to itself recall everything artificial/suspect but enjoyable about my late teens in the brightly-lit but decaying 1980’s…
Maybe this superficial/sympathetic composition belongs to a genre of experience that makes its shortcomings part its the core content, not what it intends, but what it means; a whiff of existential iron in the soul lending gravity to a formula where there clearly appears to be none. Whatever…
Whatever it is that comes from the sum of these parts it is more (or more-ish) and it works.

Richmilton, your life must be quite dull when you have to come to a fragrance website to troll on people and insult them. Get out more, it may help your sad state of soul.
akper22 – :
This is another like, not love. A fragrance I will sometimes spray lightly in the evening when I am staying in. I do not get the tobacco opening that some rave about. Not at all. Instead the listed top notes are very accurate here. A lavender and sage start with just a bit of orange. Then a mid dry down that brings up rose, tonka and cedar. I just tried it again and if there is any tobacco in this at all, it is very faint.
I don’t find lavender and rose scents to be masculine in the least. Calming, yes. Bringing the inner child out, yes. Not a bottle I will replace.

Note to Editors:
This Versace EDT is named “The Dreamer”, not simply “Dreamer”. Please add the English language article “The”. An article is a word used to modify a noun.
Re: the fragrance itself…..this baby knocks my socks off!! It has a late 20th century retro vibe (it was released in 1996) and really packs a punch. Dark tobacco and green lavender with sweet rosey coumarin. If you are or were a tobacco smoker, you will be simpatico with this fragrance. During drydown, the majestic cedar makes its royal pronouncement, with some coniferous backup (fir). I get memory flashbacks to the late 90s with this one as I was in my thirties and still going to nightclubs at the time, I associate this edt with dance clubs. Gianni Versace was killed in 1997, the following year after release of The Dreamer. This icon of fragrance history is still relevant today. I wear it all the time. Still to this day (2018), when I smell this on my skin, I think “who was the brilliant perfumer responsible for this?” Usually there is some letdown along the way with well-crafted layered perfumes, One may absolutely love an opening, and then not so much the body or drydown. Or one may only like the drydown and not be too thrilled about the heart or opening. This fragrance just gets better and better as you abandon yourself to it’s timeline.The piney cedar/vetiver/carnation drydown is unparalleled. Honestly, right now, I’m thinking this is in the supreme TOP TEN pantheon of juices on the planet, OF ALL TIME. Never a letdown. STILL FRESH. Get yourself a bottle. Easy to find, not expensive.

Tobaccoleaf is undoubtedly one of the great fragrance plants. It’s up there with patchouli, neroli, vanilla, & all those. But I just cannot stop thinking of it’s perfumery function as being secondary to its function as the smoking herb. And yet I know with the reasoning part of my mind that if there were no smoking associations to it I would just think of it as yet another perfume plant – and as I’ve just said, one of the great ones. And this perfume proves it. Certainly there’s both lavender and tonka listed there, both which I would say have similarities to tobacco – a kind of sharp peppery-green pungency, but I would not say this reminds me of cigars particularly, or to a freshly-opened packet of tobacco … and yet it does have some of that quality – the sharp peppery-green pungency – but definitely in perfume mode: first and foremost this is a perfume … not to my mind a simulacrum of cigars or tobacco.
And those other flowers are not very far down in the mix – less far down than the notes-votes here would have it I think … and there’s a decent salty muskiness there also, which isn’t listed atall – but as I’ve said before often isn’t, being a fairly default constituent in the main – at least some variety thereof, not necessarily the salty one.
I think I’ll enjoy wearing this today … and I think on balance no-one will suppose by reason of it that I’ve smoked a cigar this morning!

Too synthetic,too harsh,something is turning me off that scent.Gave him a few chances,but every time the result was the same.I wouldn’t recommend it as a blind buy,sorry…
wladzuzya – :
Straight up cheap (albeit clean) hotel room. Sniffing the complimentary bars of generic soap, while the smell of bleach and bathroom cleaner still lingers. After 30 mins, the lingering aroma old cigarettes comes through, even though you’ve requested a nonsmoking room. Not an olfactory experience I was looking for, but Dreamer hits it exactly.
aryo – :
This was one of the first 5 fragrances I picked up when I got back into fragrances again. I saw the tobacco note and wanted to try a tobacco scent so I bought it blind. I really should hate this because I detest florals. (Didn’t know that yet when I bought this.) Yet, this one is mixed so well that it comes off as sweet tobacco and I somehow like it! I don’t get flowery at all as the mix is sweet and…just different. I like it but only wear it when I’m in a different mood myself. In other words, it somehow works on my off days. Unique.
WBkSenya – :
This was a $20 Shoppers Drug Mart find for me. It was truly a blind buy because I didn’t even bother to check to see what Fragrantica had to say about it… I just bought it.
Like a previous reviewer, I was quite confused when I first sprayed it. It wasn’t at all what I was expecting! It took me a good long while to figure out that I found it strange because it’s actually a men’s fragrance! LOL
Nonetheless, I found it so interesting – just aromatic and sweet enough for a woman to pull off. I enjoyed wearing it very much.
My 16 year old son has recently become interested in fragrances, so I’ve passed it on to him.. but I still borrow it from time to time. In fact, I enjoy it so much (on him AND me) that I even bought a back-up so we won’t run out anytime soon.
Zexfrifegrork – :
My everyday fall/winter scent. Sweet tobacco. Very good performance, sillage, longevity. What can you ask for a $20.00 scent? Definitely a steal.
kolodub – :
Picked up a bottle from marshals for $20
It’s a date night fragrance for me for sure.
You can definitely tell it was designed in 1996.
Super Woodsy. Don’t wear in the summer unless it’s at night.

Deroxmwdem – :
@richmilton it sounds like you need to brush up your reading skills…Glyceryl never said that she bought the Dreamer ‘the other day’, she said she bought it ‘one day’ and that she ‘long since’ used up her bottle. Not sure why you’re on here just trying to start stuff, she was just giving her opinion on a fragrance. Nothing about her review is misleading at all, if you just take the time to read and think about what you’re reading.
One more thing – if you’re blind buying fragrances based on advice from people on the internet who know zero about you or your taste, you have no one to blame but yourself.
bukawwerty – :
I used to have a bottle of Dreamer when I was younger. I always thought it was a spectacular fragrance, but I never replaced it for whatever reason. A member with whom I did a fragrance swap included a sample of Dreamer in the package. Smelling it brought me back to my teens, so I figured I had to get another bottle.
The batch I have is from 2016, if I recall correctly when I checked it. It smells just as I remember, and I don’t feel like it is thinner or weaker than it used to be. It’s still synthetic, so I’m not entirely sure what notes I’m supposed to be smelling. However, I don’t care, since it smells absolutely lovely.
I get floral notes along with the lavender throughout the life of the fragrance. In its last few hours, there’s a fresh, yet slightly sweet, tobacco note which becomes more prominent; although I don’t believe it’s as central to the fragrance as the user voted “notes I smell” indicate. As the fragrance dries down, the powdery tonka becomes more dominant and sweetens the florals. The fragrance stays on the fresher end of the spectrum throughout its duration.
Some here criticize the performance, but I have no complaints. I get 10+ hours with 3 hours of heavy projection. It doesn’t become a skin scent until after 6 or 7 hours after application. Heavy spraying could get cloying.
I can’t really think of any fragrances which smell like this. Dreamer is still very unique. I don’t think it’s the safest fragrance to blind buy though. Particularly if you are expecting your tobacco notes to be dry or smoky, or like the sickeningly sweet “tobacco” notes which are currently in vogue these days. I suppose there are some similarities to Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme, but these fragrances are not interchangeable.
Kosenko76 – :
@Richmilton I agree, its honestly hard to take lots of the reviews seriously here sadly. Between “shills” pushing products,votes being placed before fragrances are even released, and people just hyping generic, boring frags, it really is hard to believe the “like”, “love”, and “hate” votes.
Reddit has a great r/fragrance subreddit with lots of helpful people that I tend to look through as well if im going to blind buy a bottle.
That all being said, I bought a 1.6oz bottle at shoppers drug mart on their $20 shelf (my go to spot for trying new bottles on a whim). Its not beastly performance wise, but it does well enough. I actually think this is more suited to females (opposite of the shill mentality) and my wife uses it more than I do now. I dont think i would get another bottle when this one is done, but i do enjoy its unique, powdery, floral? smell.
tusyroordarly – :
I was shopping at marshalls one day and spotted this box on the women’s perfume shelf. I said what the hell and just blindly bought it.
My nose was confused at first spray because it was nothing like any fragrance I’ve ever purchased (then finally realizing it’s marketed for men). I’ve long since used up my entire 3.4oz bottle but I remember smelling a playful freshness, kicked off with a burst of mischievous tobacco.
I loved this fragrance. I felt sexy and magnetic wearing it; I received a lot of compliments from both men and women alike. Never wore it in the summer. Definitely a winter scent.

The Romantic Dreamer
This great fragrance to me smells 3 dimensional with depth and personality. It’s not your simple straightforward scent, you have to wait and be patient for the dry down before you can appreciate that sweet fresh rolling tobacco note that I love.
Couple of sprays and I can smell it all day. This has always been in my collection because it works on my skin like no other fragrance, like it was made for me. Perfect for cool autumn day’s and of course romantic evenings 😉
RAP_MS – :
Love the smell.
But where’s the powerhouse performance as promised by the charts above and the reviews below?
8-10 sprays on body and clothes and it’s a skin scent after an hour with trace left after around 2.5hrs. No real projection or sillage either.
Had this one around a year now before commenting to see if it’s better in other seasons, but only marginally in the colder months.
Duff bottle? Or is this the new formulation?
canonmp210 – :
For the first hour to two this was the worst frag I’ve ever smelled. Ever. Now this is on my body so you might be different.. but I felt like the Michelin man. Or I work at Les Schwab. Straight rubber. “Tired” arms? Try Versace dreamer. But after about two hours it smells pretty good. Actually amazing. A darker more powdery version of Boss tonic/white Lacoste. Much richer. If I could fast forward I’d buy it. But waiting till the dry down just aint worth it for me. Sorry Dreamer.. gotta bounce.
EDIT: Why Dreamer why.. you smell great when you’re dry. Still don’t think I wanna push through the hour plus wait on my skin. Longevity is killer too. Very sad.
andshagin – :
I do not like the lavender much but this composistion with tobacco makes me buying another bottle of this hidden gem. As some of you said before, the scent could have been stronger.

@Roman 86:
I couldn’t agree with you more!!! In the past year I have purchased Versace Dreamer twice from two different reputable retailers, hoping against hope that its very weak performance was simply a fluke the first time, but to no avail.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why design houses want to continually “sabotage” their future revenues with reformulations that generally end up being significant downgrades of their existing fragrance. In every other industry you hear the words “better”, “improved”, “longer lasting”, with a constant striving to preserve or build demand for a “precious” existing product and customer base. Just imagine how Coca-Cola would taste today, or how Apple i-phones would operate today, if they had been managed for the last twenty years using the same “product development” strategies as the fragrance industry? More than likely, those companies would no longer be in business because they would have incrementally destroyed what made them great to begin with.
So my HUGE concern is that one only need read the plentiful reviews on this wonderful website– of the countless reformulated pre-2000 fragrances– to understand that most are unfortunately, if not already, on the short path to becoming “materially” extinct. ……EXTREMELY DISCOURAGING for a lover of pre-2000 fragrances like Versace Dreamer.
Dausefpeabe – :
This one has definitely been reformulated. I first bought this about five years ago and it was super strong even after a few sprays and had development throughout the scent’s life from beginning to end. Now with my new bottle and another bottle I tried at a department store, it’s just a light whisper and more of a clean, soapy kind of smell and doesn’t have much development. The scent has definitely been neutered. It’s still pleasant but you just have to spray it several times and I would say you should spray on clothing so it lasts longer. It’s worth a try if you want something light and clean but this fragrance is a shell of its former glory.
sergeo60 – :
I bought a sample and fell in love with the smell! Fresh expensive soapy Dudu (insider) scent. I get the tobacco and lavender and the other notes are so fresh! Definitely sexy. Two sprays max though; this is really potent juice!
wwkozlov – :
@halael, Could it be that your bottle is too old, or it turned? My husband is on the 4th bottle in last 15 years, and Dreamer is so powerful that i dread the days when he reaches for the bottle. He is 3 sprays type of guy, man do i wish he would spray this only once. Our entire house smells of it for hours. Dreamer and Montale Starry Night are the two biggest offenders when it comes to strength like this. Not sure if this has been reformulated? If so, maybe that is the problem?
lunya77 – :
I hate lavender. Hate, hate, hate it! And yet, with tobacco and tonka, my hate melts away.
It’s far too weak. This deserves an amplified version that drenches a room in a single spray. It’s such a tease.
Mir82-2007 – :
I think it smells like juniper, tarragon, ambered lily, iris and finishes with amber and tobacco flower.

Nowdays version : i spray my self 18 times

Dreamer is a classic! Don’t sleep folks….Dreamer blossoms and smells beautiful in humid climates. Therefore, don’t think you have to reserve wearing Dreamer during the fall or winter seasons. Dreamer also has a slight, but wonderful oriental vibe too. Making Dreamer one of my favorite colognes to wear when I’m in SE Asia (Singapore, et cetera).
genkalim – :
This One is very special. The notes here are not accurate. I get Juniper and lavender on top and tobaco flower on the drydown. I think os another flower element here but i cant figure what. Great one and very underrated nowadays.
sergik2010 – :
Hmmm. I don’t know how I feel about this one. I blind bought it after hearing good things. A lot of people find this interesting and unique. Personally, I think it smells like a bar of generic brand supermarket laundry soap.
Am I missing something here? I can’t figure out where the strong soapy vibe is coming from…
ichwilp – :
Starts off like a light amber, animalic fragrance (which I like), slightly sweet but astringent. In the dry down becomes quite synthetic, artificial mahogany and vanilla-like – very characteristically similar to Cuba Gold, whereas Cuba Gold is more of a linear scent to that of the dry down of Versace The Dreamer.
ppu931Negeltzex – :
This is one of my all time favorites, but the bottle i have is a light version, i only can use it as a summer scent and is not a powerhouse as before, the batch code come back to the year 2011.

A sublime tobacco, aromatic and sweet juice that is definitely NOT generic. It’s, powerful, long lasting and memorable. Best to try first though.
ili104JeomiWogkig – :
I like this fragrance…
It’s light but powerful….definitely aromatic.
A great tobacco fragrance that has greenish brown tobacco notes..and has some yellow and white in there too..clean and fresh . Maybe even some pale blue like a cool morning .
One spray is enough.
I gifted this to somebody blindly a year ago and he said he enjoyed it and I can see why.
Naturally..I gifted myself a bottle too out of curiosity.
Definitely worth the price …probably more.
I bought a 100 ml tester and am very satisfied with that.
Definitely an inspiring fragrance….
I sprayed myself ..one spray on my bare chest..under my shirt before I started a jam session…and it gave me a great vibe.
Im not sure how it will jive with your own personal body chemistry…but with mine..
It compliments.
The Verdict: I dig it

I bought a new bottle of dreamer last week.
Batch code was 61— can’t remember the rest but it was made in 16′.
On first spray it was incredible many memories came back. But to my disappointment,it didn’t last-at first. I sprayed a small amount on my hand maybe that’s why. I wore it out tonight 3 sprays on my neck and two on my wrists. I was getting whiffs of it throughout the night which means that the fragrance is good to go.
vartoviy – :
Such a special fragrance. Rose/floral note from another dimension, lavender, and damp, raw tobacco all in one. Nothing like it. It does go on strong. I happen to enjoy it, but I can see why the initial blast is off-putting to some. Then magic in the dry down. Lasts and lasts and lasts, and is so comforting. The Dreamer is that pleasant dream you had a child where everything was peaceful and new.
dj-kos – :
This is really unique. I haven’t smelled a fragrance like this before but I can see how this can be polarizing because it could be a unisex fragrance. This has the softness and floral feel to be a feminine fragrance but it has the spice and sharpness of a men’s cologne. I give this an 8.4/10.
vik44 – :
This is a great, classy unisex scent. I just got this as a birthday present from a friend. I did not actually know that it was “for men” and I know for sure that she didn’t. The top and middle were, though not indicated by the notes, giving the impression of a balsamic or oriental. After my friend left I began to pick up the carnation, the tobacco, and then later the fir, and still later the cedar, and vetiver. This is a classy, smooth, well-composed, easy-to-wear fragrance that is a real gender-bender. I haven’t found a woody scent that is this easy to wear before. A nice surprise.
Update: While this is a skin scent most of the way through (applied conservatively), as for duration, this is a beast. It will be there for the long haul. 12 hours + Might even last through a shower.
Update II: Trying it again. Today it is very medicinal. Is that the lavender, the sage, the fir, the vetiver? Still nice, but barber-shop-y. Something is beginning to soften it after some time to ‘rest.’ Rose, geranium, tonka? Definitely trends masculine. Still, I am not giving up.
petr76 – :
I find this too thick and sweet, I get a an eros, joop vibe from it.
seems good for 20 somethings that are a bit less of a douche bag than the ones wearing eros and joop.
Reminds me of night clubs my friends would drag me to in my 20’s. the ones playing r’n’b and full of posers.
I’m probably being too harsh a critic, It’s actually nicer than joop and eros, but it reminds me too much of them.
barrboss81 – :
Today, I am revisting a classic that is Versace dreamer. I only use this perfume if I needed inspiration or something that I would like to do creatively like sketching or just plain entertainment like listening to my favorite music. To my nose, this smells similar to Nikos sculpture homme, or Replay jeans original for men. The only thing that makes Dreamer stands apart among the two I mentioned is how it blends the lavender and tobacco. Tobacco here smells very natural. It reminds me of my grandma who makes her own tobacco pipe, expertly choosing the leaves and rolling it to make a cigarette. The scent of the leaves is somewhat intoxicating and I love sniffing it raw rather to smoke it. The aroma leaves a very nice chilhood memory.
It is also the same vibe I get when I’m listening to classical music. I can picture myself spraying while listening to “Nessun Dorma” and reaching to an olfactory climax to the part of the lyrics that says “Vinceroooooooooo! Vinceeeee——rooooooo!
The bottle also looks very elegant and artistic which really interprets Gianni’s vision of italian luxury and oppulence. My love for this perfume knows no limits.

Who dreams of better days
/Ozzy Osbourne – Dreamer/
Bottle full of memories.
I met my very first love when I was fifteen & Dreamer was his signature. He passed away a few years later – and I´m still keeping his bottle of Dreamer as an irreplaceable treasure. It is still on my mind and in my memories – the warm embrace of sweet & mild /yet masculine/ tobacco, herbaceous & slightly citrusy lavender and sage, spicy carnation & warm woody notes in the drydown. Warm, herbal & spicy scent with wings. There´s nothing quite so soothing and comforting as my Dreamer.
Taurus – :
Fragrance -Dreamer Versace
Bottle from – 2015
Dreamer opens on my skin with a citrusy,powdery and a bit herbal lavender laying on top of a wet tobacco followed by a bouquet of flowers with dominant geranium in the middle. The drydown is all about tonka,tobacco and cedar and with a wisper of some kind of green magic.
Reminds me a little bit of the good old days- 80s & 90s.
This is a classic scent,but I don’t think it’s outdated.
Longevity – 7/10(7+ hours)
Silage/Projection – 6,5/10(moderate projection and silage for the first 1-2 hours,than sits closer to skin for the duration of the scent’s evolution)
Weather -For more or less any time of year.I personally wouldn’t wear this on a really hot summer days.
Age – 27+
Compliments – 7/10
Scent – 7,5/10
Main notes according to me – tobacco,lavender,tonka,geranium,spices,green notes.
The drydown is woody,moderatly sweet and a bit herbal and I get some -tonka,green notes,cedar and tobacco.
Emotions –
good old days- 80s & 90s,timeless,class,sophisticated.
Occasion -Perfect for special occasions,nights out and semi-formal events.
Try before you buy.

I was meaning to choose an essential oil mix today, was holding my versace dreamer bottle, which is beautiful and keep as decoration. I thought why not the dreamer notes, tobacco and lavender, so I got clove which is similar and lavender oils. This is a nice mix of notes that I never forget…
I might add geranium for rose later, as rose is also another prominent note in this fragrance.
dlob777 – :
It’s funny – I actually enjoy the top of this the most. I love it all the way through, and any clothing fortunate enough to come into contact with it will smell incredible the next day. Still, the opening has this warmth (almost a spiciness, but not quite) that I wished lasted longer. Can’t complain though, because that warmth fades into a smooth, creamy floral that sits really comfortably on you. There’s something really nostalgic about this scent, and while I don’t wear it every day, it’s definitely my favorite.
bakar – :
I blind brought the sample, and thank God I did. I do not like this cologne, it screems old man. There’s nothing fresh or clean about this frag. I picture an old man with a brown suit with whisky breath smoking a cigar wearing this.

The perfume of my youth! I lost it, but I rediscovered it! Wore it in the time when the name wasn’t so much for me, but the smell itself.
I always imagined (me as a) Yves Montand, with its cigarette in the corner of the mouth, wearing this gem.
Tobacco note is peerless and the lavender complete it so good! Citrusy, fresh and cool. I can’t get why some people said that it’s sweet or unisex. Not sweet at all, on the contrary! Manly, yes! Classy and expensive smell, a piece of art from an italian more refined than french creators.
Bravo Versace!

Great fragrance. I wear it in winters. Be careful on your trigger. I will go with 2 sprays
minsezzz – :
Initial blast is citrus, which makes way for the lavender and sage, I think the sage is giving it a spiciness at this point to my nose. The tonka then makes an appearance, delving it into the realm of sweet floral. The tobacco to my nose is more of a base then a major player, adding depth.
This is the kind of fragrance that will split people down the line. I’m a big tobacco fan and I’ll admit that I prefer my tobacco soaked in vanilla or honey, so I was a bit dubious about the tobacco and lavender combo, with some citrus.
