#928 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is really more similar to Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme than anything else mentioned. I have them all, and this is definitely closer to Light Blue in scent and in its moderate performance. Still not a dupe of any of them but a very nice scent in its own right. I think every time someone smells a blue scent they automatically think of BDC. And since I owned Light Blue before I bought BDC I probably automatically think its like Light Blue. Whichever, it's a fine scent with acceptable EDP performance at a great price. Car pool, elevator and small office safe, and attractive enough for date wear. Let's be real. A blue is a blue is a blue. What matters most to me with a blue is it at least lasts till lunch (many don't). Beyond that they're all pretty much alike. Safe blind buy for me. I already have Facconable Royal and it's a good scent too. Now I'm going to go ahead and order a bottle of Facconable Legacy.

Smelling these side by side on a test strip, from opening to dry down, to my nose this is Dylan Blue 🔵on the cheap. No they don't smell identical, but it's a very similar scent profile and it you like DB, you'll like this. As I said in my review of "Regatta" that emulates CK1 - this might be this fragrance main issue - because Dylan Blue is fairly inexpensive for an established brand - so why wouldn't you just get DB? However, this is coming in at just under half the cost, so that's probably a decent saving. I already have DB, so I'm thinking this is a redundant bottle in my collection because it's not adding anything to what I already have. Would I buy it again, no, because I'd just buy Dylan Blue. I will conclude by saying this is a very good scent and I would generally say it's amazing value if you can get it for £20-25.

I absolutely love this scent!!! 5/5 in that regard. Reminds me of a spicy Dylan Blue with more emphasis on spices, warmth and incense. I personally get 5 to 6 hours of longevity on skin and 7 to 8 hours on clothes. The projection is good for the first 60-90 minutes...reaching out 3 to 5ft. Hour 2-4 it becomes closer to skin, still good in my books. Reaching out 1to 3 feet with good whiffs from time to time. Hour 5 to 6 it becomes a skin scent with light whiffs. I will give it a 4/5 for the Performance. The price is amazing!!! I use this for an everyday scent and save my Dylan Blue for vacations and special occasions. I rate it 5/5 for price. Overall rating is 4.6/5 and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING YOUR NOSE ON THIS FRAGRANCE!!💙💙💙💙

The goal of this perfume is very simple. A no nonsense, cheap, crowd pleaser, always go to and very well rounded off perfume for everyday use. If you don’t bother much about perfumery and want to enjoy a very good value perfume with great performance, this is the one. It is most probably the best bottle to open anyone’s perfume game. Cheap, clean and proper homage to BDC. I only have 2 issues. 1. The synthetic vibe is real, no hiding it. And for the price you really shouldn’t complain. Moreover, it still smells very good after a long wear, where a lot of cheap perfumes fails. Definitely a win. 2. I really didn’t like the sprayer. I understand it is a cheap frag, but I really want a better sprayer with this bottle.

Bought this at TJ Maxx on clearance for around $14 and to me it's a hidden gem! Now, you are not getting a beast mode fragrance but for the price you cannot beat this. The open is somewhat harsh in the first 10 seconds but when it settles you get the citrus from the Italian Mandarin and grapefruit with a bit of smokiness. At the base i certainly get some comforting woody and amber vibes. Longevity is not great but again for this price, don't be afraid to re-apply. To me this is not suitable for winter but great for all other seasons and safe for the office. Very versatile and appealing blue type fragrance that can be worn in the evenings as well. Highly recommend!
