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.
