The Dreamer

“…ice cream, gunpowder, fruit candy, hot cocoa, marshmallows, blood-orange peel, and probably some DDT.”

“After the fruity opening, it settles down to the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigs.”

“a lot like a gin and tonic being sipped by a gentleman smoking a pipe.”

“starts…under a bitter chemical haze that does bear some relation to a gin & tonic…What I remember instead is the distinct smell of tootsie rolls, some powdered sugar, a touch of auto parts.”

“it has a toxic-industrial edge that I find disturbing.”

“For all that, it is a soft, subdued scent once it dries down, and could easily qualify as unisex.”

From various reviews of Versace’s The Dreamer, a smell for dudes.
