fresh spicy

Released 2016 as the flagship for the modern Versace man, Alberto Morillas's Dylan Blue pairs Calabrian bergamot brightness with ambroxan-incense depth in an aromatic fougère structure. A clubgoer's signature that aged into an office-safe staple.

The take

●Fig-ambroxan freshness at a genuinely shocking value
●Versatile across office, date night, and vacation
●Longevity and projection that shame its price point

Trade-offs

●Saffron-incense base can read slightly synthetic
