Cheap, synthetic bubblegum smell. Spicy facets (mainly nutmeg) keep it from turning plasticky. A much worse Dylan Blue for 450€ - laughable.

@CivetOnly oof, this one sounds really rough; not sure what was being imagined here 😅

@CivetOnly I don't wear it, but it's one of my favorite masc-leaning blends to get my nose on still (and to keep in mind for any future men in my life)! Thanks for mentioning, since I trust your take on quality 🤝

@Gourmandgrl the best part is that Quorum Silver was made 20 years ago, is still being sold for like $20 and smells 20x better than this, if you're into that macho citrus-lavender-nutmeg spicy-woody stuff.

For the same price, you can get almost a liter of Dylan Blue.

@Longevity I can actually get 1125ml of Dylan for PdM’s retail here.
Talk about a lifetime supply of toilet spray lol…

Sadly, I see that we disagree on the scent quality. I like it twice as much as you do.

@Merlotsupern I agree. Even the most proficient 'influencer' will struggle to glaze this trio of delights.

@Merlotsupern and I’m a huge sucker for nutmeg too (Quorum Silver fanclub).
This is an impressive low for PdM, feels like a result of feeding “popular men’s colognes” and pictures of Timothy Chalamet to the AI.
By clankers, for clankers. Yikes!
