Picked up this blue fragrance from JomaShop. It’s a clone of Blue Talisman with a sweeter twist. Not a one for one. Blue powdery scent with a fruity sweetness. The opening smacks you right away and gets smoother as it dries down Into a clean musk. This is work safe just limit sprays. Spring / summer/ casual or daytime or evening. Longevity is good 7-8 hrs and projection is about 2 ft. Presentation is very nice. A blue bottle with effectiveness with planets on it with a good atomizer that has a cap that fits loosely into place. This is affordable from discounters, I was able to get the gift set for under 50 dollars. This is a nice alternative to the much more expensive Blue Talisman. Again not a one for one, but has a nice twist. 8/10

SOTD: Dylan Blue by Versace 16/01/2026
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.
