Versace pour Femme Dylan Blue Versace 2017

A few months ago, when I came home with countless white strips from the perfume store/drugstore, my goal was to finally find a nice everyday companion for myself. I really wanted to like D&G Light Blue Intense and sniffed it every few minutes to convince myself. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that; the citrusy opening of Light Blue is too piercing. However, there was another fragrance that managed to impress. Also with citrusy freshness, but by no means as sharp, yet invigorating and subtly sparkling.

Dylan Blue opens with crisp green apple, lime-citrusy, even though there is no lime in it. For some, it might even be slightly piercing. However, this fades after a few seconds, and an aquatic freshness surrounds you. It reminds one of a morning shower, a refreshing shower gel, or even more fitting, a luxurious shampoo with green Granny Smith apple. About 15 minutes later, a creaminess and subtle sweetness join in, slowly replacing the aquatic notes and eventually catching up with the citrusy aspect. Now it’s time for it to shine; the ultimate feel-good dry-down presents itself and stays.

This dry-down knows how to impress. I see it in every setting, whether professional or leisure. It would even work for a daytime date. With Dylan Blue Pour Femme, a woman smells well-groomed, not too conspicuous, but extremely pleasant. The sillage is mediocre, but it’s not a skin scent either, perhaps after 4-5 hours. The longevity is good, around 6 hours. On clothing, it lasts for days and makes them smell totally pleasant. This should be available as a laundry detergent. I wouldn’t say the scent is elegant. It’s more fresh, bright, active. It radiates both in cool and warm, in dark and light.

The bottle is a matter of taste, but there’s nothing to complain about in terms of craftsmanship. High-quality, heavy, beautifully made. I'm always a fan of gold & blue; that’s totally my style. That’s why the bottle immediately appealed to me. And even though many say they would expect a heavy, oriental scent with such a bottle, I must say the fragrance fits very well with its exterior appearance. The sight of the deep royal blue makes me think of a luxurious spa, a little bit even of a deep blue sea and the freshness of a sea breeze. That works for me.

For all those ladies who like "clean bear" scents, appreciate a light fruitiness and sweetness, and desire a feel-good dry-down like freshly showered & moisturized, Dylan Blue Pour Femme is a great everyday companion!
