Launched in 1996 by Versace and crafted by Jean-Pierre Bethouart, Dreamer The Original Edition is a fragrance that stands as both a cultural milestone and olfactory paradox. It was the last scent Gianni Versace worked on before his untimely death in 1997, imbuing it with historical weight among collectors and enthusiasts. Dreamer’s composition centers around a distinctive tobacco-blossom accord paired with lavender and sage, creating a 'love it or hate it' cult classic within men's fougère/oriental circles. The juxtaposition of fresh spicy notes and woody depth makes this fragrance both intriguing and polarizing.

How It Wears
Application Tips
Apply two to three sprays for an impactful presence — the tobacco-lavender-sage accord is immediate but fades within a couple of hours. The base notes, however, will linger throughout the day, making it a perfect choice for evening wear.
