Fresh blue and at the same time spicy & sweet scent. Almost everybody likes it. Versatile, but a little bit boring.

That Unused Bottle At the Back's Story

Hi. You might remember me. The name's Blue -- Dylan Blue. You picked me up when you were feeling giddy and probably after a paycheck. You listened to your friends or believed the hype on the interwebs. Maybe you even sampled me and I was the perfect olfactory companion while you were in the store. I was rich; I was oriental; I spoke low and soft and with power and mystery. I didn't pressure you too much and I didn't smell like the barnyard. However, by the time you got home, I had retreated to a few follicles on your arm and smelled perfectly ordinary. You were angry. You felt ripped off. So you tried me again and again and again, but I was always the same. You know what they say about the scorpion and the toad, right? It's my nature, and so you exiled me to the back of your fragrance collection. Weeks passed and you forgot about me, but I had to speak up now while you were out and warn all the other copies of me out there to not be taken hostage by unappreciative humans. They won't love you, brothers. They will abandon you just because we're nothing special. Beware! Do not end up at the back of the shelf like I have. And any humans reading this, you should be ashamed -- now you know what we are, so there's no reason for you to abandon us. Either kindly pass us by or use us in some other fragrance-appropriate way, but to be bought and then ignored is the worst of all deaths -- slow and unmerciful in the constant overlooking.

The People's Choice Award

If you committ to wearing Versace's "Dylan Blue" (especially in the spring/ summer), get used to speaking it's name. "Blue... Dylan Blue" you may retort, if you're that too cool for school-type and in turn, too cool for this mainstream, inoffensive, and inexpensive fragrance. "It's Dylan Blue, by Versace" is personally what I'd say and what I have... a LOT!

The reason why I've become accustomed to name dropping this scent often (and you might too) is not because I'm on a soap-box part time, championing Versace's bottom line... nope: it's because this juice is simply ALLURING. Passers by and those in close proximity seem to be unable to ignore how pleasant it is, how clean it is, and how approachable it makes the wearer. If I ignore my own opinion and trust those of my most celebrated compliments, "so sexy" would be the synopsis. I'm guessing that's an ambroxan thing.

"Dylan Blue" is a fragrance that can be found everywhere. At drugstores, discounters, department stores (and in giftboxes), but it has never become overused by the public (Sauvage edt this ain't). You will smell wholly original and in complete control of your profile! Pretty amazing for a cheap, "entry level" blue freshie. Yes, that means I'd highly recommend this even to the connoisseurs out there! People will respond to this the way you THINK (wish) they would with "Cedrat Boise" or "Creed's Aventus."

As much as I like "Dylan Blue," it's not my favorite blue fragrance out there. I'm partial to "Bleu de Chanel Parfum" as my all-timer. For me, the best of the bunch. I absolutely LOVE Dolce's "Light Blue eau Intense" (both unisex-leaning Men's and Women's versions) and the recent flanker "Italian Love." On the darker side of aquatic, "Kenzo Homme eau de parfum (2022)" is an overlooked masterpiece that's quickly becoming one of my favorite fragrances full-stop. Finally, I have my nostalgic go-to's that still slap (Nautica Voyage, Davidoff Cool Water, Polo Blue and it's latest Parfum).

That's a lot of amazing options right there in what is a very crowded subgenre of perfumery. But as far as the compliments go, I've NEVER HAD MORE than I have with my perennial all-star, "Dylan Blue!" At the end of the day, fragrance to me is for myself but only partially. I crave a warn reception.

If there was an award for appeal, Versace would win.

My first true new blue.

After an extremely long break in buying fragrances, of which i am talking 10+ years, except for the occasional Christmas gift here and there it wasn't until i had a wedding to go to and decided to buy some new fragrances for the event which kicked off my crazy buying spree over the last year.

So, other than older blues like Deep Blue from Hugo Boss and Blue Jeans by Versace which don't fit the category of what i would describe as what we call blue fragrances today so i had not yet entered the world of the Blue fragrances that we talk about now and Dylan Blue was my first of the new blues that opened me up to a world of what seemed to be a market flooded by them, but to me it was all new and i actually got Dylan Blue while i had COVID and most things smelled bazar to me.

An example, i thought i had wasted money buying Club De Nuit, a clone of Creed Aventus because to me it smelled exactly the same as Dylan Blue, then the next day all it smelled of was Blackcurrant juice. Needless to say i wasn't sure how either were actually meant to smell lol. I knew one thing though, and that was if Dylan Blue continued to smell like it did while i had Covid once it was gone and my sense of smell would return to normality, i knew i was going to love it!

Spoiler, i LOVED IT! The only slight difference was that i could smell the smokeyness of the incense once i recovered which i enjoyed all the same. Just as a note, i have done several tests of old scents that i have stored in memories which i had bought when i was a lot younger and had bought again prior to getting covid and ranged in several different kinds of fragrances so, once all of them smelled exactly as they should did i start reviewing and smelled all of my new fragrances again to see just how close to what my perceptions were while i had covid, another spoiler, Aventus does not smell like Dylan Blue LOL!
One of the things i love about Dylan Blue is the changes from when you first spray it on to the subtle changes at different stages of the dry down, there are so many stages and all of them smell great!

The one thing about the dry down though is you need good longevity for that to happen and there is something weird about Dylan Blue in which i am not alone. For some reason my initial spray will fade really quickly, we are talking 30mins to an hour and i need to respray myself because the smell just vanishes, no skin scent, just nothing. Here is what is strange though, when you do that 2nd spray and you don't need to go nuts by overspraying. Just spray on the same places you did the first time and boom, it unleashes this sudden amazing ability to project and last for ages! Obviously clothes are a different situation but i personally prefer to be able to spray on skin so that if i wish to wear a different scent later in the day i don't have to change all the clothes that have the fragrance i was wearing through the day before spraying a different fragrance at night. I also think fragrances should be able to perform on skin alone without needing to use clothes as a booster but at the same time i don't mind having it on my clothes as it truly is a beautiful smell to have on ones clothes. :)

Back to spraying on skin though. So last night I put my first spray on at about 9pm, i had to do a respray at about 9:45pm and here i am at 7:25am after a nights sleep and i can still smell it radiating off of my skin. This was just after i had taken a shower and moisturized my skin that i done my first spray so it wasn't anything to do with dry skin. I don't know what the reason for this is but like i say i am not alone as i have seen other people saying the exact same as me with the same results after that 2nd spray. So, if you plan to go out you need to use this method if you find you are having poor longevity and bad projection. Just spray earlier than you normally would and allow enough time for you to be able to do that 2nd spray before heading out and you will have great performance for the rest of the day or night.

Talking of the different stages of the dry down, they actually remind me of some other blue fragrances such as Sauvage and even the Elixir at one point but without the liquorice sweetness to it.

If there is one good thing i can say about Versace, it's that they are really good at giving us some amazing smelling fragrances for prices that allow for so many people to enjoy and the same goes with Dylan Blue.

If you are new to collecting or like myself are just returning to buying fragrances and want to know what all the rave is about when it comes to blue fragrances without breaking the bank then you really can't go wrong with Dylan Blue as a starting point. People may think this is my signature scent with my avatar picture but it actually is not. I don't have a signature scent tbh, i just wear what i feel like when i feel like it. The reason i picked it for my avatar was that it was this scent that got me really excited about fragrances in the year 2022 and started me down the path i am on now of buying new fragrances and hoping that my next purchase is going to be as exciting as the day i first smelled Dylan Blue which filled me with such excitement and happiness from just using my sense of smell alone. Fragrances really can have an influence on our emotional state and Dylan Blue for me was one of excitement and another of sheer joy that i hope by writing this review can maybe convince others to get in to blue fragrances even though there seems to be some hate towards certain blues by some people. I am here to say, don't let others dictate your enjoyment of fragrances, it is you who will be wearing it after all and Dylan Blue is absolutely a compliment getter.

There is only one thing that i wish was different about Dylan Blue and that is that i wish Versace would give it the Eros treatment, by giving us an EDP and Parfum flanker because it truly deserves it and if anyone can create more amazing blues it is going to be Versace and with Alberto Morillas at their side it will be all the more so!

So to end it off here is my ratings and batch info.

Bart no like....baaaaad medicine.

Let's start off by saying that this is not a terrible fragrance - but It's not a great fragrance either. By today's standards, it's actually a very average one. I would go so far as to say that by 2018, it's probably one that most people EXPECT.

Back in the 90s and even into the late 2000s, people expected ADG. They expected fresh, and to some extent, most people still do. But fresh has become boring, so we add a little playful fruitiness here, a little elegant tonka bean there and perhaps even a little formal pepperiness or incense, and we end up with nearly every popular designer release today. It's that sweet spot that plays with the average consumer's freshie expectations, but not enough to make them turn away from fear of non-conformity. What a beautiful game.

The problem with Dylan Blue, is that it doesn't do it right. The familiar "shower gel" vibe is there with the grapefruit, sweetness and aquatic notes, but there is a heady fruitiness right from the very beginning that absolutely KILLS it. To me, the smell is reminiscent of overripe robotic fruit swimming in a pool of spicy chemicals. It's almost certainly caused by the mixing of fig, ambrox, mineral musk, and all of the spicy notes, giving the fragrance a rather metallic and grungy syntheticness that's overbearing on my skin. And for the very decent amount of time that it lasts, I really couldn't stand it. I still can't.

Imagine that some guy named Dylan was carrying bottles of Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Invictus Aqua, Versace PH and Ferrari's Noble Fig in his arms, tripped, and smashed all of the bottles on the floor. As he slipped and fell, bashing his nose against the floor, this is likely what he smelled - the ambrox of Sauvage, the incensy citrus of BDC and the weird fruitiness of the rest. That's basically it. That's Dylan. He sure blew it.

But look, that doesn't mean it's ALL bad. After a solid 8 days of testing, a few people around me actually liked it and the longevity and sillage were above average for a quasi-freshie. And truth be told, for a long time, I was actually considering getting a bottle myself due to the abundance of "compliment-getting" reviews out there (not to mention the very decent price). But of course, it's unwise to believe everything you hear, and following my own testing, I'm happy to say that there are just SOOO many better options out there in the same genre - ADG Profumo, BDC EdP, Aqva Atlantique and even Luna Rossa Carbon to name a few (though LRC is not exactly known for its stellar performance).

My advice - spend the extra money and get something better or more unique. After all, it's not worth owning a fragrance that embodies the very definition of "forgettable" when there are so many others that can help you stand out. But I urge you to sample it first for yourself (if you can) before coming to the same conclusion.

Honest opinion

I remember when I first bought this thinking to myself, “I don’t see what all the hype is about.” However, after wearing this several times I’ve learned that the beauty in Dylan Blue is found within the dry down, that’s where the magic happens for me! This is very affordable and is on par with other blue fragrances on the market.
