Yea mip is not earth shattering. But those don't come around often for me.
The dreamer opening give a me the shakes... Do not blind buy, I usually am for blind buys in general for the thrill unless its a scent that has the risk of making people physically ill. Those love or hate fragrances like the dreamer, Fahrenheit, Azzaro pour homme, should not be blind bought.
Mip, is a good blind buy, and a safe scent. It's not overpowering, it's likable. People will not like it because its too powdery, or too feminine, or too bland. But none of those qualities has made anyone sick or ill from smelling the scent. That's what makes a scent safe to blind buy, IMO.
I personally think mip is a good scent for the occasions it is meant for. Which is somewhat classy events, or when someone is dressed up in at least a blazer or sportscoat. It's the perfect metrosexual scent that is not assuming and doesn't try to stand out. It's not loud or in your face, but very secure and masculine because of it. I like its character and it does what the fragrance is intended to do.
The dreamer is risky... I actually just got it today so I need a few full wearings but the opening is the second ever opening where my stomach turns when I smell it and actually get a little sick from it. The other being Azzaro pour homme. I don't like Dior Fahrenheit opening either but it doesn't make me quite as sick as the dreamer and Azzaro ph.
Anyways, having not tried bk, my vote easily goes to mip.
