Would a perfume version of Tobacco Vanille smell like Versace The Dreamer?

Hey Guys:

Finally had a chance to give The Dreamer a good sniffin'. I definitely get a tobacco accord and the sweetness of some vanilla. It is completely different from the tobacco and vanilla blend of Tom Ford's concoction, but maybe a perfume version would be along the lines of Dreamer? Anyone else have a thought on this one?

No, but Versace's Blue Jeans would be better if it were made to the high standards that TV is.

The Dreamer with vanilla? I didn't get that whatsoever. To me it was Elmer's glue opening with some toxic flowers (yet somehow it wasn't bad?) then it became a menthol-like tobacco...and ultimately fresh laundry

Tobacco Vanille...Versace Dreamer...? No way. You could have by some chance mention Givenchy Pi (benzoin, no vanila - but easily confused) and ppl would, more or less, understand you.

Btw. Lancome Hypnose Homme shares a vibe with Versace Dreamer.

I can actually kind of see where you get a small amount of similarity, however i'll leave that at the tobacco. After that, i dont really feel the vanilla in The Dreamer. Mayb a very slight hint of it, because i remember when i used to wear it iw ould think it smelled a bit similar to some gourmands i believe but i forgot which ones because its been so long. The dreamer has more floral than vaniilla

I don't think so either.....While I definitely detect the tobacco in Dreamer, to me ther is a whole lot of other stuff going on as well, especially in that initial balst!

Tobacco Vanille is to me very linear with those two notes (bi-linear??) and that is all I get. Not that it is a bad thing by any means, just that to me Dreamer is much more complex.
