I won’t miss any of my ex-partners as much as this perfume. They discontinued the only good thing from the line. Anyway, I give it 10/10, I still have a few mL left in the bottle but it already hurts me to use it. Anyway, if you know one that’s the same, tell me 😔
I loved this perfume for day-to-day, the office, and any season of the year. Too bad it’s no longer available in Argentina.
I’m talking about this perfume again, Dream Big is a sweet fruity woody fragrance with medium longevity. In hot areas it performs very well and from afternoon into night it’s spectacular, if you apply it to go out for drinks it’s impressive. Its scent and sillage aren’t cloying, very good both on skin and on clothes. This perfume is a little gem, honestly I haven’t seen it for sale again, that’s why I apply it 1 time a month since I own a mini collection. I think its longevity is from 4 to 6 hours max. My bottle is like 3 years old 😍 PS: on Amazon it costs $49 dollars and not including shipping.
Good, nice and cheap. For daily use. Don’t expect brutal performance, far from that idea.
I’ve had it since 2018/2019, in the 100 ml version. With a citrus opening but with a strong woody drydown and something powdery/vanillic with a lot of personality and solid quality. Luckily I started using it again after several years and I still have some left. I really regret that it’s discontinued because it’s an excellent option for cold and mild climates. CONCLUSION? Something elegant and charming, but for daily or frequent use. Good hours of performance.
I bought a decant of this perfume because it was said to smell like Valentino Uomo. Yes, that’s correct, a year using it from time to time and it is like that, chocolatey, sweet. Clearly much more synthetic than Valentino Uomo, I THINK it’s discontinued, because this perfume from the United Dreams line no longer arrives at perfume stores, while the others do (at least in Argentina). If you’re wondering, it’s not like Dior Homme Intense at all, I really find it very similar to Valentino Uomo, not to anything else mentioned in the votes, for the price it’s really VERY good, if you get it at the real price and not inflated, it’s a pleasant sweet scent not too heavy, I keep it as a perfume to just smell good, simply smell good, nothing more nothing less.
To my nose it gives me the impression of something like: mango, lemon and woods, something like that, longevity and projection are very bad almost nonexistent, so I really don’t recommend it, although it smells good per se, it’s almost imperceptible.
Now that I’ve been using it longer it reminds me a lot of Dior Homme Intense (80%), obviously it feels much more synthetic and less subtle but it does the job pretty well. If you’re a fan of Dior Homme Intense you’ll like it and you can wear it day to day.
Very pleasant surprise, it’s not a longevity or projection beast… but for what it’s worth, just add a few more sprays! Personally I get very powdery notes in the dry down. Recommended!
I find it sweet 🍯
I tried givenchy gentleman reserve privee and it reminded me of this fragrance
It’s good, I don’t find it that versatile or youthful, quite the opposite as I find it more elegant and mature, more for special occasions in cold weather, although it’s not very expensive I recommend not buying it blind because you might not like it as much as I did.
It’s a good option. To me it’s very similar to L’Homme Ideal by Guerlain. Good price. Very good, I recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable Guerlain.
I bought this fragrance almost by accident. If you like One Million-type scents, this scent is superb and very original. If you apply a lot you’ll fill up a whole room. That caramelized scent is so delicious and the best thing is that almost nobody wears it. If you like sweet and caramel, this has to be in your fragrance collection. The 200ml bottle goes for between 37 and 40 dollars, it’s a simple bottle that holds a really great scent. My wife loves it and she wears it too. It’s one of my favorites because of its good longevity. I found it super cheap at a supermarket in the 200 ml edition. I will definitely buy it again, it’s a different scent.
Good fragrance no doubt and for the price I think it’s a good option if you’re looking for something to smell good during the fall and winter season, it could be used in spring but I think rainy and cold climates make it shine more. From my experience, knowing that everyone has a different PH, it lasted me about 6-7 hours on skin and much longer on clothes! For the office, daily use and even a romantic date it will surely work great for you.
For its price it’s excellent. I loved it.
It’s an exquisite perfume. It reminds me a lot of my beloved L’homme Ideal by Guerlain, but without the pepper (the previous batch). It’s a very good fragrance, with a refined and elegant air in the style of DH and Valentino Uomo, I’d say it has nothing to envy as it maintains originality in the dry-down. In terms of longevity and sillage, in my case, they are very good, lasting 6 to 7 hours on me. It’s a very good underrated fragrance. It’s one of those cheap fragrances that smell expensive. Highly recommended.
Benetton Dream Big. I bought it together with another one from Benetton’s United Dreams collection and both have pleasantly surprised me. Plus they are very affordable, about 6-7€ each. Dream Big is another bastard child between Valentino Uomo and Dior Homme (Intense if you prefer). What I like is that it’s not just a clone, it has some of that DNA but takes its own path and that makes it interesting. At the opening you can see the aforementioned DNA (makeup-style iris, chocolatey, woody and dry) although quite more citrusy. It has an orangey aroma that will stay subtle but present throughout its life. The characteristic iris with that makeup hint feels lighter and lighter until it almost disappears completely and as a counterpoint some woody notes in a vetiver style and even patchouli gain strength, which make it a delight. As a result we have a lightly iris and orange scent with a fairly dry woody profile but at the same time accompanied by a sweet base (tonka bean and vanilla) that make it creamy and playful. Longevity is another plus because for what it costs it lasts a good 8 hours with projection for the first 2 hours and moderate sillage. Super versatile perfume, it can be worn without issue in any weather both day and night. I also see it as appropriate for many occasions like romantic dates, going out partying, casual events, office… Very versatile indeed. I find it totally unisex although somewhat more masculine than feminine but equally recommendable for everyone.

I found it super cheap on a sale table and it was surprising that, when I wore it I got some compliments at the office. The listed notes don’t give much information about the scents, but they must certainly be very synthetic for that price. To me it seemed very much in the vein of Guerlain pour Homme or as many say Valentino. This because of its chocolatey or almondy result. For versatile use in any weather, except extreme heat. I would recommend it for ages over 24. Wear with casual to semiformal clothing. Scent 8/10 Longevity 7/10 Sillage 7/10 Presentation 6/10 Value for money 10/10 Originality 6/10 Rating 7.3/10
I was gifted a decant, and the truth is I used it up several nights after taking a shower and before going to bed… a sweet water that helped me go to sleep calmly, nothing more.
Smells like grandma’s closet. Luckily I only paid €6 for it.
I just have to say it’s a very nice fragrance, for the price it performs well enough, it smells good, it’s true it leans toward Valentino territory, never Dior, Dior is more powdery, this Benetton is sweetish, chocolatey. If you don’t have much money and want to smell good, but really good, no undefined citrusy little things, this is your perfume.
One of the best things I got this year. It’s a fragrance where the best thing I can tell you is to try it since I find it hard to describe because it behaves well.
A clean or neutral scent, it has a distant reminder of Dior Homme or Zara 9.0 from the iris part but it is not a replacement fragrance, yes, its opening is slightly citrusy and strong and in the drydown it feels powdery like baby powder. I had worn it in the office with air conditioning and it gave me no more than 5 hours, note, wherever it lands on clothes it will keep projecting heavily since it stays on clothes for at least 2 days in my case (note, it does not stain clothes) and yesterday when I went out I could smell it even with my mask on, the clothes everything was very good, I applied it at 2.30 pm and by 10, no lie, I could still smell it. A fragrance that unfolds very naturally in cold weather, yesterday it was about 20° and today at 13° it behaves like a true champion. Note, it is not a refined fragrance, even the Zara one feels slightly classier with that almond tone that can work well with semi-formal clothes, Dream Big is a workhorse that in cold weather will not let you down. Value for money: 8.5
The opening is really nice, you can feel the citrus, it seems fresh and then it totally changes becoming sweet, but for me a pleasant sweetness, not annoying at 16 °C. Still need to try it in summer. Fragrance for daily use, cheap, I liked it, you can’t ask for more for $20 and it comes with a shower gel, I bought it blind and it’s really good for my taste 👌🏻 Value for money
It’s a delicious scent, sweet, warm and soft, it doesn’t project much and on skin it has acceptable longevity; it’s incredibly pleasant, it’s sweeter than VALENTINO UOMO and less mature. Super warm and cozy. I would use it for romantic dates and especially at night. If you’re looking for a sweet, affordable fragrance with a well-developed scent, it’s for you.
Good scent, somewhat mature, with high longevity, and heavy scent, at least on me. Use in cold weather.
For the friend asking who would think of comparing it to Valentino Uomo or Pure Malt itself, when it comes to comparing it doesn’t necessarily have to be the same or better, the synthetic side of this Benetton perfume is undeniable but it’s also really nice and addictive to smell, women love this scent, we mean it has the same vibe or a similar sweetness to Valentino Uomo or Pure Malt, if you have both perfumes don’t buy this one, but if you have this Dream Big buying a Valentino Uomo or Pure Malt will feel repetitive because in terms of scent they are similar, in quality obviously not, it’s a perfume that has the same wave and the same vibe as Dior Homme, Pure Malt and Valentino Uomo. I’M NOT SAYING THEY’RE THE SAME, MUCH LESS THAT THEY’RE OF SIMILAR QUALITY, JUST THAT THE SCENT STYLE GOES IN THE SAME DIRECTION. Cheers…
Who would even think of comparing it to Thierry Mugler Malt or a Valentino Uomo hahaha… This has turned into a joke, no seriousness in the comments. It’s a simple, generic perfume in its sweet woody blend, very weak, for daily use, but comparing it to those perfumes is like comparing the taste of strawberries to apples.
Intrigued after reading the positive reviews, I came across this fragrance and bought it. The scent is pleasant but the performance and projection are not worthy of an EDT. Comparing it to Dior Homme seems out of place to me, let’s not joke, this is the risk of buying blind and ending up with an offering that isn’t worth it. Very weak in every way, you have to generously overspray to get an acceptable scent experience, in my case. To give you an idea, the Victorio y Lucchino waters are stronger compared to this one, and that says it all. I’m not saying it’s a bad fragrance, there are better options in this same price range and by adding 10 euros more you can get something of superior quality. Since I have it (with the deodorant), I’ll use it for the gym or something similar, since for events or going out it falls way too short. Weak longevity and soft sillage, nothing memorable.
