Passed by another small boutique shop for the first time near work today, and everytime I literally become a big kid. Filled with indecision and excitement I opted for another addition to my Luna Rossa stable that’s been on my eye for a while. The collector in me instantly pulls up pics to show the attendee my collection followed by Jomashop to start checking the temperature in regards to prices 😅🤦🏻‍♂️. I have to say that fortunately for me most places always honor Jomashop prices, plus shipping and tax of course which I’m obviously fine with especially because I get to walk out bottle in hand. I realized this is the new bottle design and 2024 reformulation which is also fine although I do like the previous bottle design with the silver, but man, this smells excellent. I haven’t been disappointed with anything from this line yet. It’s lavender fresh vanilla masculinity in a bottle👌🏼. This bottle will definitely sit pretty next to my bottle of Carbon, Black, and the OG. Full wear coming soon. Smell great out there brothers.

This is actually by youngest son Dylan's bottle,he got a decant from me a while ago and has been wanting it for his birthday. So we got him his first Versace yesterday. It's been a staple in my collection ever since I started my collection. Versace Dylan Blue is often known as the Swiss Army Knife of the fragrance world. Launched in 2016 and created by Alberto Morillas. It was Versace’s answer to the blue fragrance trend a genre defined by clean, shower-gel vibes that are versatile and mass appealing. Dare I say this is perhaps the best of not one of the best Blue fragrances on the market. Ok some might say Dior Sauvage which I love or indeed Chanels BDC, but this was my first blue and will probably always be the top of the list for me. DB is a fresh, clean, masculine scent with an underlying depth & a touch of spice. It's got that shower gel vibe to it thanks to the ambroxan. It opens with a punchy blast of citrus Grapefruit and Calabrian Bergamot mixed with a unique Fig Leaf note. The fig leaf gives it a slightly green, crushed-leaf bitterness that prevents it from being just another citrus scent. The heart is where the "Blue" magic happens. Ambroxan takes center stage, providing a metallic, clean, and salty vibe. It is joined by Black Pepper for spice and Papyrus for a dry, woody texture. The base is where the scent becomes smoother and darker. Incense adds a smoky touch, while Tonka Bean and Saffron provide a subtle, creamy sweetness. It ends as a clean, masculine skin scent. ​For an Eau de Toilette Dylan Blue is a powerhouse. This is an easy 7 to 8 hrs on skin with strong projection for the first 2 to 3. It is noticeable without being suffocating, though you should be careful with sprays. 3–4 sprays is usually the sweet spot. Arguably the most versatile fragrance in the Versace lineup. It’s fresh enough for summer heat but has enough "weight" (incense and tonka) to cut through the winter cold. It works for the gym, the office, a first date, or a formal wedding. It leans youthful because of its energetic "shower gel" vibe, but it’s polished enough for older men as a casual daily driver. A must have in any collection and my favourite blue fragrance.
