Question:
would this be a good idea? They have no testers at Macys of this scent, but they have limited bottles left. I read it's a good scent. So, has anyone bought this blind?

Answer:
Horrible idea, if I am allowed to comment. One of the biggest stinkers of all time. It may very well be called as Stomach-upsetter instead.

Answer:
I wouldn't buy it blind. The topnotes can be offputing.

Answer:
ok thanks. i'll pass.
p.s. i wish there was a way to close your own threads.

Answer:
I love The Dreamer! Still, my rule is, never buy blind.

Answer:
DREAMER is a fantastic fragrance.. Very similar to LE MALE (JPG)..
Top notes are harsh BUT give it an hour and the drydown is mind blowing!!!
I bought it blind and it was a fantastic purchase..

Answer:
Look at his wardrobe though, all his fragrances are fresh/aquatic/safe scents. Stepping out of this trend and right into something like the dreamer blind is a big step. Since his question was just about buying the dreamer blind and not about the actual fragrance, I would have to say steer clear of buying it blind. Just my opinion, of course!

Answer:
The Dreamer is a very polarizing fragrance, some love it, some hate it. I fall into the "hate it" camp, the opening is just too overpowering. Even many of the people who love it warn about the opening. I also advise against any blind buy unless the price is just too good to pass up and if you are buying it at Macy's you are paying list price. So for these two reasons I would recommend against a blind purchase of the Dreamer.

Answer:
Buying The Dreamer Blind...
I would agree with everyone else here and say this is definitely one you'd want to test before you buy.
Personally, I LOVE it... and yes, this was one that I bought blind. The opening is quite strong and peppery..bravely endure that for about ten minutes and your rewarded with the sweetness of lily, tobacco and vanilla tempered with spices..drying down the most velvet of woods and amber.
If you're looking to turn heads, this is it! Looking for a way to announce your presence in a room? Look no further. Looking for longevity? This has it in spades!
Looking at your wardrobe, this would be closest along the lines of Platinum Egoiste (two entirely different fragrances, but similar in being bold.. although I think Dreamer is much bolder). I may be wrong, but for some reason, I think you just might like it. There's some rediculously low prices for the 1.7 bottles on ebay.. try it.

Answer:
Great idea! The Dreamer has that monster sillage you are looking for, and the heads and necks of everyone around you will literally swivel on the shoulders to check you out, all the while thinking "Who's the Cologne Guy?"

Seriously, though, I purchased the Dreamer blind and am glad to have done so.
