Together instead of against each other
Versace Dylan Blue has been in my possession for quite some time, but I always suffered from a certain dilemma:
The fragrance is such a good all-rounder that there is hardly an opportunity where it fits 100%. No problem in spring, fresh in summer, great in autumn, and even suitable for winter. In addition, it is completely independent of the time of day and the occasion. Office, party, restaurant, everything is possible with the water. But if you are in the lucky situation of having several fragrances, you will almost always find one that is better tailored to the situation. So it turned out that I always loved to smell the scent, but in the bottle it didn't get less.
Dylan Blue's big appearance followed a few weeks ago, when my boss and I had to go to meetings in foreign companies relatively often, often with members of all levels of the company hierarchy from CEO to facility manager. The other sticking point at these meetings was that they were not negotiations, but almost friendly votes (here the togetherness).
Hence the title of this commentary. In many meetings the point is to show dominance (here the opposition), or possibly even to intimidate the opponent(s) slightly. Here completely differently: One wants to remain in the memory at the most positive and fragrant by its smell, not as hard-core, eccentric or frightening. In addition it is to be noted that one is with superiors on the way, opposite which one does not have to try convulsively to steal them also due to smell the show.
Now the perfect occasion has been found for Dylan Blue, and the bottle empties itself well-behaved. I would like to warmly recommend it to all those who either want to own only one or a few fragrances, don't want to burn their purse through, or don't feel the urge to smell especially special. As a similar alternative, Dior Sauvage EdT, the personal preference test her best even in direct comparison from :)

Strikingly inconspicuous
Newly seen in the store today and sprayed right on. The bottle tempts one to hope for something majestic, and if not noble then at least unusual and extravagant. What follows is unfortunately the complete opposite.
D&G "K" begins with a very restrained fresh orange, which is generally left until the end. I can't write much more about it because the fragrance is boring, characterless and interchangeable, to say the least. He reminds me very strongly of many of Zara's fragrances: short-lived, artificial and, as already mentioned in the title, inconspicuous. In addition, the Sillage (at least at me) is very weak, I had also directly after the spraying with my nose in the direction of the fragrance to identify something.
All in all, the fragrance is simply unspectacular and does not do justice to its crown in any way. You can't even say it's bad, but you can get other calibers for the proud price

The sexy "Normalo"
If "The One" by Dolce & Gabbana were a human being, then it would probably be the most reliable guy that everyone would like to weigh in their circle of friends. No eccentric, no hipster, no funny bird with shrill clothes, no one who pursues unusual hobbies in his spare time.
He would be more like the guy who is always well dressed without ever being overdressed. The one who wears his automatic watch with leather strap while all the others show photos on their smartwatches. The one who takes the ladies home without watching the "10 best pickup lines 2019" on Youtube. You don't want to speak of winner type, but losing is not up for debate.
In order not to slip too much into the personification of fragrances first the facts:
Rarely is there a bottle that you look at and you immediately know how to smell the fragrance. Massive, reliable, simple, brown, dark, wicked. When the little nephew comes to play, even he knows immediately that it's not a toy, but something too valuable to use as a building block.
The fragrance follows seamlessly. At the beginning still a little fresh, the grapefruit and the orange blossom are great. Besides quite spicy, but never pungent. And behind it simply this bench made of tobacco and amber, which is already impressively represented by the bottle. So easy to smell, so sovereign, no one will ever question this fragrance. In the Black Tie event, he may not be the most outstanding water, but on the other hand, no one will be able to blaspheme about it behind closed doors.
What is missing to perfection, however, is better durability. Also the EdP version finds its end quite fast, after about 6 hours I can only guess on my skin that there was something on it. In these first 6 hours, however, he does his job par excellence

Worth every cent!
I've had Valentino Uomo on my wish list for some time now. However, I never wanted to afford it, because it is relatively cheap and I did not know when I should really apply it.
Via Parfumo I came across the alleged fragrance twin Zara 9.0, and ordered it in a package with Zara 8.0. After all, the fun costs only 18€ for 2x100ml, there you can not do much wrong. The matt glass bottles are labelled with the fragrances and look quite charming. I quickly put 8.0 aside and gave me a sprayer of 9.0 on my arm
The beginning almost frightened me, it is so similar to VU. Even if you know that 9.0 is a dupe, you're surprised how much the scents match. The Iris develops similarly beautifully as VU, only after an hour one notices first differences to the big brother. It simply lacks something of the sweet, vanilla creaminess and the light coffee note of VU. Valentino simply has the more mature fragrance in the long run.
I find the fragrance similar to VU, the durability remains quite clear under it. With me is about after 5 hours end with funny, there the forerunner holds out nevertheless times twice as long
Nevertheless, I can get over the small smears personally when I look at the bill.
Conclusion: Absolutely good clone, absolutely great DNA, absolute buy recommendation.

Familiarity from the bottle
The first time I smelled BV PHE was with a small sample attached to an order.
After a few days the first time sprayed on the back of my hand, it almost knocked me over. The scent is insanely "dense" (for lack of better words) and you first have to process what you take in nasally, at least as a scent layman. So it wasn't love at first sight, I immediately stamped him as too extreme and unusable for me as a young student. BUT: That stuff stays on the back of your hand longer than it does for a breath, so I kept getting a rush of it in my nose, and well, "too extreme" became "interesting" and it became real love.
It reminds me somehow of an evening in the warm wooden living room with my parents and grandparents without smelling old-fashioned. It simply creates a very pleasant warm and familiar feeling in me, which I cannot satirize myself with.
The fragrance is obviously very polarizing, especially among the younger public. But I think you have to give it a chance and let the depth of the fragrance work its magic on you.
On the subject of durability, I can perceive well in about 5-6 hours, afterwards only very close. The Sillage is in my opinion good, not particularly obtrusive.
Conclusion: I love him and am happy if he is similar to others. That was my first comment by the way ;)
