Versace Pour Femme Dylan Blue

This is an elegant fragrance, suited for a woman who knows what she wants. It’s not particularly innovative, but it delivers very well on what it sets out to do. It’s clearly fruity and sweet, without crossing into gourmand territory. Notes of peach, apple, and black currant are very noticeable, resting on a soft musky base that adds a clean and smooth feel. In the background, there’s a very subtle woody touch. Longevity is quite good, around 9 hours on clothes or even more. For the first 5 hours, the projection is moderate, then it gradually becomes more intimate while still remaining noticeable. There’s a refined “expensive shampoo” vibe to it—clean, polished, and pleasant, which actually works in its favor. It’s one of those easy-to-like fragrances: elegant, versatile, and very feminine. It works perfectly for everyday wear, including office settings, but also transitions well into a night out. It’s elegant without being too serious, sweet without being heavy, and versatile enough for any occasion and any season.

I find this an interesting perfume. IT IS A NICE PERFUME. but to say that of a Versace perfume of course that is almost an insult. I am not an ARMANI type of person, or RALPH LAUREN type of person. I am a CHANEL and VERSACE and GeoffreyBeene, BillBlass, Ungaro, YSL, Balmain and Calvin Klein who was minimalist but in a sexy, not to say, sexual way, when they were all still there, type of person. abundance, over-the-top, too much, and in the case of Versace, veering the line between Ultraluxe and Vulgarity, mode for Callgirls and Gigolos or Hookers and Pimps but also Beverly Hills Show Offs etc. Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, Fendi and his own 'Maison' also knew how to throd these lines. these are thin. now Versace had came up with some Voluptuous and Bombastic perfumes in the 1980s-1990s. Blonde, V'E, Gianni Versace. but what always struck me was how, thereafter, their perfumes stayed chic, demure, very refined and not-Versaciste. with (I can not judge about the masculin fragrances) Dylan Blue, Chrystal Noir and Eros Pour Femme Donatella transgressed this line somewhat. for sure with Chrystal Noir. (and later make it a Perfume.) yet what gave me the incling to immediately run to the stores was their respective spectacular packagings. and the perfumes didn't disappoint, Chrystal Noir that is. yet Dylan Blue and Eros pour Femme in the end both disappointed but also not entirely. I trie to explain it. loaded with aromachemicals (shall I call them) but I have understood lately that they are and were in every perfume, yet with Shisolia (shiso leaf chemical [either molecule or compound]), Rosyfolia and Petalia they ADMITTEDLY (and to explicate this blatantly is very Versace) gave them free as a dimension of this Dylan Blue for women, which is telling. now let me state I am amnostic to aromachemicals. but I have also learned that they can push and solidify the present natural materials and make the perfume as a whole, direct into a more billowing phenomenon. and that is what happens here. the three mentioned aromachemicals give (summarize and respectively) off a [shisolia] a 'green, shiso leaf, cinnamic' smell [petalia] 'It has a fresh floral scent of peony, lily-of-the-valley, rose with a fruity undertone. Very fresh, light and diffusive.' and [rosyfolia] 'a floral, rosy, geraniol note with an elegant, fruity airiness. ' see behind each chemical name the '®' sign. now I am bad with smelling fruit. yet this is first and foremost a fruity-flowery-rosy perfume. the Crux being that the exhaustive description of this perfume will be THAT IT SMELLS LIKE PERFUME which is perfectly my cup of tea and very Versace-like. it has that Perfume Vibe of Madison Ave, Park Ave, Rue de Montaigne, Ave Saint-Faubourgh, Mayfair, Bond Street, and in the Netherlands the Coolsingel (Rotterdam) and the P.C. Hooftstraat (Amsterdam) and the Milanese Via Montenapoleone and Rodeo Drive plus Dubai. (and Asian and other Capitals) the perfume is also quite persistant. the smell that keeps lingering is that of a fruity floral perfume, clean, uplifting and entirely not my cup of tea and yet it is because it is a Versace Perfume. this is just loyalty I confess. and so far can a parfumista go.
