The average gives the world its existence, the extraordinary its value. Oscar Wilde
There are several or hundreds of products that smell fresh and aquatic. Most of them have their best years behind them and the trend is long gone.
Since a while this aquatic wave comes again with a light breeze.
In spring L'Eau Majeure d'Issey came which is unfortunately rated too low here.
Then a few summer editions of the epitome of the watery with the cool water. Not really an achievement.
The one who is absolutely convinced and has about the same number of Hater or Lover is this Dylan Blue.
Brilliant in the beginning and with a remarkable freshness, you can clearly see what Morillas wanted to express with this fragrance. There are many more expensive waters that show trouble in comparison. Chanel's bluer is similar in the opening, but the shelf life is much lower, or rather half as long.

According to Wikipedia, Dylan comes from Welsh and is called Flood. That's why I am so enthusiastic about this flood of freshness which lasts a long, very long time

Of course, Euroitalia was not only able to work with natural ingredients, but had to incorporate synthetic ambroxane. Ambroxan is found in many products and is a kind of flavour enhancer which is typical for aquatics. The older calibres such as New West or Cool water contain much less Ambroxan but more aldehydes. According to my research this is Adoxal.
The scent therefore has many facets, one of which the ignorant feel-good clergymen write is the shower note. This note is normal and desired with a fresh or aquatic bergamot and plenty of citrus. This is a fragrance and has nothing to do with shower gel or a cheap Axe-scent. It's the family.
After parfumdreams.de this direction is with over 50% market share the largest, therefore forget the shower gel confidently or lead an endless discussion.

The tonka bean develops with the pepper to a safe value of durability and is top on hotter days. That's why this Dylan is worth so much, the simplicity makes it an ever-present and never boring. Spicy notes round it off, so that it is also well perceptible in the evening.
I have many, many fragrances in my closet. But what I have been coming up with almost daily for two months is this Versace.

Both harm themselves: the one who promises too much and the one who expects too much. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Somehow this smell or this cool contrast, whatever it is... reminds me of Joop Wow. The sweetness and the sillage are almost identical. I've been looking for the black pepper for three hours, but haven't found a single grain. The synthetic sweetness I found in excess and reminds me of cotton candy, I don't recognize any apple. Maybe I always eat the wrong kind of Smith granny which is not sweet at all. For a low-budget fragrance not bad, but nothing more. It is clearly inferior to Joop in terms of shelf life. Also the prelude is too artificial and goes into a penetrating note, which not everybody likes. Unless they are 14 years old and discover the world of fragrances anew. Somehow I thought that a house like Mäurer&Wirtz must be able to do more than just put this Dupe on the market. For a fragrance pioneer that's not really much. For a fragrance novice, it would be a remarkable achievement.
