    Dries like Invictus but without the excessive sweetness, capturing that crisp freshness of Bleu de Chanel. It lacks the hint of pepper others mention. A classic blue scent: fresh, soapy, with a touch of sweetness on the skin. Perfect for everyday wear. 7 out of 10. Not bad at all. I paid $50 for the 200ml bottle.

    Extremely delicious and super easy to use, ideal for almost any occasion or weather. My girlfriend absolutely loved it, which is why everyone notices when I arrive. Without a doubt, one of the best perfumes for summer. If you’re looking for a signature scent that represents you, Dylan Blue is an excellent choice.

    A true all-rounder, suitable for any time of year. It smells lovely, is masculine and easy to wear, plus the price is very good. The longevity is moderate to low, but in my case, the projection is quite noticeable.

  4. I already have several bottles; I’m on the third and I think it will be the last one; I’ve got a bit bored with the blue profile in general. I hope to finish it this year during the heatwave. It’s a good perfume; the incense and patchouli give it a serious edge, but it’s a pity the longevity isn’t the best.

  5. Great perfume; perhaps it could improve on longevity and projection; after six or seven hours, almost nothing remains on the clothes or skin.

    Dylan Blue delivers: it smells good, is neat, clean and easy to like, but nothing makes it stand out. It has that soapy, clean profile, something darkened by the incense and a slight sweet touch. It’s pleasant, yes, but fairly generic. The longevity is disappointing; after three or four hours, I can hardly smell it on my skin. The projection is average to low and the trail is poor. It falls short compared to other blue options like YSL Y or Sauvage. Additionally, it has a fairly mature profile. For me, it works better for men aged 30 and above, even 40, 50 or 60 without issue. In fact, once I applied it to my father and it looked spectacular: masculine, sober and neat. To conclude: it’s a decent perfume, easy to use and versatile, but lacks personality. It has poor longevity, goes unnoticed and doesn’t create an olfactory impact. Ideal for daily use and for men aged 30+ seeking something tranquil, but not for those who want to make an impression.

  7. A rich scent, but on my skin it smells like eggs 😭. It’s strange because the first time I tried it in a mall I loved it and didn’t sense that smell. It’s citrusy but not too much; it’s a scent that doesn’t bother anyone. Now that I have a decant, I do smell that egg note; it’s a slightly mature scent but I still like it.

  8. Raphael Luna

    Sterile cleanliness bottled as an eau de toilette. The longevity is a bit weak, but it’s not for when you want to stand out, rather for when you need something subtle and clean.

    It’s a masculine and interesting, fresh perfume. The downside is that it doesn’t last long on my partner.

    I use it as a daily rotation scent. Although I initially picked it up on a whim, it has since come into its own. It’s not a first choice, but as a third option, it’s worthy. The opening is very fresh and the dry-down is peculiar, though I don’t mind it. It’s a light, masculine fragrance perfect for the office, although the incense + ambroxan combo carries some risk and isn’t for everyone. Don’t buy blindly just because it’s a ‘blue’; it’s a reliable wardrobe staple that won’t change your life, and the projection is non-existent as the saying goes.

    I promised myself to steer clear of these burnt aquatic citrus scents, but the 200ml deals convinced me. Mistake: value for money should be a virtue, not the only reason to try it. It smells of fresh, sweet grapefruit, then something generic and clean with a hint of incense, finishing on a musky, creamy base. Nothing stands out particularly. Supposedly I hadn’t tried many blues, but I’ve been smelling this style all my life; Natura already does it well without needing expensive brands. Occasionally, on days over 30 degrees, it leaves a bitter, unpleasant accord mid-dry-down. It lasts 4 or 5 hours like any citrus cologne, projects without being intrusive and is masculine in its own right. In short, it’s a tepid fragrance. They call it ‘white shirt’ or ‘black trousers’, I call it ‘pyjamas’; something to put on without thinking after a shower. It’s not what I’m looking for. Almost annoys me that I can’t disapprove of it because it smells good, plain and simple, but I’ve tried cheaper ‘versatile’ options with a better olfactory experience. 6/10.

  12. Although I’m 26, I work in a professional environment with many clients and need to project seriousness and maturity; this fragrance conveys that. Furthermore, given the tropical climate of Puerto, it’s very suitable. If you’re looking for something serious and mature for hot weather, it’s excellent, it just lacks a bit of longevity.

    I was torn between this and the Loewe 7 Cobalt, but due to the price and the 200ml size, I decided on this one. It’s quite long-lasting and my wife loved it.

  14. As my collection has always been modest and I prefer to rotate between a dozen fragrances rather than accumulate, Dylan Blue was, a few summers ago, the representative of the ‘blues’. It was never a scent that drove me mad, but it had a bit of everything: a clean, sharp, incensed touch; a Sauvage more aquatic and smoky, without the old lavender dry-down that doesn’t convince me in another; a Bleu de Chanel with less quality but more punch and liveliness, at less than half the price. Furthermore, in winter or cold spring nights, when I wore Azzaro The Most Wanted, I’d come out smelling of this and rarely did anyone (especially women) not ask what I was wearing. I replaced it a couple of years ago with Loewe 7 Cobalt, which I like more but costs an arm and a leg. After finishing the bottle, out of nostalgia and economy, I returned to my old and reliable Dylan Blue. It seemed a safe bet, but upon opening it, I thought: ‘Wait, Esencio, what about the projection? Where did all that ambroxan power go?’. Indeed, although longevity was always just right, its distinguishing feature was the projection and now it barely does it. It has always been a magnet for compliments and remains a good buy for the price (54€ for 100ml in Spain, on sale, original), but it’s clear they reformulated it down. I’ll keep it in the box for warm days to see if oxidation works the miracle, but jope. Scent: 7, Projection: 6.5, Longevity: 6.

    Versace doesn’t know how to make fragrances. Don’t buy any from this brand, they’re disgusting.

  16. Carloshache4

    Dylan Blue is the fragrance that no one dislikes; I’ve loved it from launch to dry-down. It gives a sensation of tidiness, cleanliness, order and elegance; it’s a wonderful blue, fascinating. It’s not an overused aroma; it’s the best; you don’t smell it everywhere all the time, it’s so unique. Many blue fragrances have managed to be cloned, but Dylan Blue remains irreproducible.

  17. Matuu028

    This is my second review of this fragrance. I criticised the first one for being weak and unremarkable, but after nearly 5 months of use, wow, I’ve changed my mind. It lasts about 6-7 hours, with 1.5 to almost 2 if you apply it to the chest or near the nose, although it can become tiring there. The scent evolves over time and is very pleasant; I still smell my arm every chance I get. Although it didn’t fulfil the promise of being seductive or causing a shower of compliments (only one or two up close), I liked it and I’m very happy. I bought the 100ml bottle and would buy it again, perhaps the 200ml. It’s not a blind buy because not everyone likes that incense tone (several friends didn’t enjoy it), but I still recommend it 100%.

  18. Thank you Máximo, your words show wisdom, what luck to have you in this community.

    After months of use and finishing nearly 60% of the bottle, I can confirm this is one of the best blue fragrances on the market. It smells distinctly masculine, suits any occasion, and is neither expensive nor cheap (it depends on your budget). Compared to Arabian scents costing the same, I prefer this one. I’ll buy the 200ml version as soon as I finish the 100ml bottle.

  20. One of the best designer blues on the market, I place it alongside Terre d’Hermès Eau Vétiver Intense, Loewe 7 Cobalt or any good blue. I love all its phases and the incense gives it a distinctive touch against other blues. It projects heavily for the first hour and longevity is contained but of quality.

    If you want to smell like body wash, shampoo, or men’s soap, but of a real MAN, with no nonsense, use this. For me, it falls into the category of ‘perfect blue fragrance’.

  22. Di Armani

    First review on the site. I can assure you that I perceive a masculine aroma. This Dylam Blue, compared to Bleu de Chanel Parfum (which costs double and is a masterpiece by perfumer Morillas), requires no further comment: an essential addition to my collection.

  23. Bestcaption

    Pure versatility; one of the best blue fragrances you can wear. It was my first perfume, and since then I’ve become hooked on the world of perfumery. The opening is spectacular, worthy of a great perfumer; as it dries down on the skin, it becomes slightly darker without losing its identity, maintaining that image of a clean, fresh, mature man with an enigmatic and seductive touch. It’s definitely a signature scent: useful for everything from buying bread to going out partying on a weekend. That said, it’s not a beast in terms of projection, but it is very long-lasting on skin and eternal on clothes. Anyone who gets close to you will almost certainly compliment you.

  24. I like the initial scent, but once it dries down, I find it very weak. It’s a fragrance that gets compliments, but on my skin the longevity is poor. It’s a good perfume, but it’s not among my favourites.

  25. The opening is rich, but afterwards it only smells of incense, and I don’t particularly enjoy that note. The incense gives it an older vibe (suitable for people over 30). I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly.

  26. I like it; it’s like half Sauvage and half Bleu de Chanel. However, on the few occasions I’ve worn it, people told me it smelled old. Perhaps it’s because where I live, older people have become obsessed with Sauvage, so they associate this aroma with that. Nevertheless, I find it super versatile: office, gym, casual daytime outings, afternoon, night, whatever.

  27. Abraham isaias

    Very rich and versatile. Smells like shower gel at first, and once it dries down, it has a sweet note that isn’t cloying, finishing with a dark incense scent that isn’t too strong. On my skin it lasts 1 hour 15 minutes and 5-6 hours from the skin using 15 sprays on the neck, nape, shoulders, and forearms (also alternating on clothes). Good for daily wear, but not for extreme heat; maximum and exaggerating 30°C, beyond that it would be overwhelming for me and others in a closed space, although you can still use it at higher temperatures if that’s not your case.
