A whole new fragrance experience
The good D&G Light Blue could almost be called a legendary summer fragrance. Spritzig, lemon and musk bring a good solid summer fragrance together which also brings in compliments.
For me, this one is the best of the bunch and the flakers don't quite come close to the original. Hold a good OG with which you can do nothing wrong and does its job.

For the bored who wear the fragrance for the X times in the summer, I can only give the tip this with the D&G The One EDP to layer! Quite great cinema if you are looking for something different;)

The Aventus twin that is not worth mentioning
Mountblanc Explorer:

The new Mountblanc Explorer. When it came out I thought only NAJA! Once again Mountblanc has copied a fragrance and interpreted it itself. A comparison with Aventus is not worthy, as this scent is quite synthetic. You wouldn't compare Mike Tyson with Manny either? Different weight class therefore also different rules. But now we come to the scent and packing.

The packaging is nothing great now, but one has the impression that the bottle is of high quality. A metal cap with a leather stripe around the flacon makes a good impression! If you remove the cap, the vaporizer is pretty good, too, I've seen worse. Unfortunately, the opening is very close to Aventus, and would even go so far that perfume lenders wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the opening.

The fragrance starts with a sweet ambroxanopening and after a good 1-2 hours develops more in the minimal leathery woodsy direction. A little later one can also detect the cocoa note but the ambroxan is omnipresent. Durability and sillage I would appreciate for a designer in the good range. The scent is still perceptible after 6 hours before it becomes more body like after spraying for 3 hours. I can't perceive a big development in the drydown, rather a linear scent that is meant for the masses. After 3-4 hours only a sour synthetic scent remains, which may remind me of green apples but is more leathery and woody. This becomes so extreme that I get a headache from the scent in summer. Durability is the standard 6-8 hours for me, and Sillage is pretty good for a designer in the first 1-2 hours! Season rather spring and autumn, because it is too fresh for the winter and simply too synthetic for the summer. Due to the fruity Aventus-likeopening it is a signature centre that could be worn at any occasion. Especially suitable for work, because you don't want to have crass non-scented scents at work.

I would recommend the fragrance to someone who is looking for a cheap aventus alternative, because as an independent fragrance I classify it with too little character. There are better scents in the price range that show more edges. For me, however, he has become by his too strong synthetics a clear passport.

Versace Allrounder!
I bought the scent back then because of Youtub influence. Apparently this is the all-rounder of Versace!

Flacon: Is very beautiful to look at. The bottle is in a classic blue and the Versacelogo in gold is applied once on the spray head and on the front of the bottle. I think it already looks classic. But somehow you can't shake the feeling that the bottle is cheap rather than high-quality.

Scent: Find the scent starts synthetically fresh and develops after 1-2 hours in the sweet direction but never loses its freshness. At H/S you can't complain either, if you even consider the price you could imagine a smile with a good nod of the head to any buyer. Especially also with all my friends, when they are looking for a cheap scent with good performance and endurance. I would estimate the Sillage at about one arm length. On my skin, the scent lasts for 3-4 hours and then develops close to the skin. The scent is noticeable for 6-8 hours and after 12 hours it is hardly there anymore

I've received good compliments for the scent and it feels like a fresh shower:D Especially when you apply the scent after work you have a straight out the shower feeling if you have to go somewhere else. Because the scent is not too complicated and exhausting in my opinion and is also perceived as a good mainstreamer, you can call it an all-rounder. I have been using the fragrance for 1 year and it stands out from the crowd, because I haven't met so many people who have this fragrance in their collection.

For me, definitely a must try for all those who like fresh scents and a cheap alternative!

The Channing Tatum among the fragrances
A famous youtuber says about the fragrance one, that is the Channing Tatum of fragrances. In my opinion, it is the Matthew McConaughey! I think D&G have already thought about using him as an advertising figure! Because the man is male, sexiest alive and Oscar winner;)

But let's move on to the fragrance or first of all the bottle! I still find it successful and timeless to this day. This orange perfume oil, surrounded by black and brown colors, comes across as stylish and makes Juice look seductive. You can easily guess what to expect. The fragrance starts spicy sweet and later develops into an amber, tobacco like direction.
Durability and sillage are within limits. In my case these are the good 6-8 hours when the scent is more body oriented most of the time and therefore still suitable in summer. But not at too high temperatures people ;) 10/10 compliments I have not received for the fragrance yet, because maybe that is because the fragrance is so well known and everybody knows each other.

As an Occasion super for dates and even for the office, because I have not yet met a man who does not like the scent or even knows it :D

For a mainstreamer, it belongs in every collection, since Olivier Polge today makes fragrances exclusively for Chanel.

All in all he lets in a little Matthew McConaughey s scent

My party scent No. 1
Got me the scent back then
in 2019 when that blue wave went around. Dior just released the EDP as Chanel just released the EDP of Bleu de Chanel realised. Then I jumped on the Sauvage bandwagon for a long time and thought I didn't need to rotate anymore with these three fragrances as I already considered Sauvage to be a good all-rounder.

Suddenly all the young men started smelling of Dior Sauvage. The postman brought the mail and I noticed a Sauvage Sillage. I went to the club to celebrate and Sauvage was there. At work my colleagues just had that smell on them! The smell was just everywhere!
So I had to think of an alternative and there it was in my closet. The good YSL Y EDP. With a fruity opening of green apple and synthetic ambroxan. Afterwards, docu came to perceive the good ointment note, which the other two fragrances Bleu and Sauvage don't have now. He comes across much younger and the H/S are also super and in the same range as the other two.

Then I tried the fragrance thanks to a well-known Youtuberin while partying in clubs and I have to say! There is something he does better than the other two in this situation! Every time after spraying and passing by, the female guests looked at me and twice I was asked about the scent in the club! Because the name is so short, the situation can be explained in an uncomplicated way:D

I think the black and dark blue elements make the bottle look good. But unfortunately not a magnetic closure, which I'm starting to see as a must for designer fragrances these days!

For me it's definitely a Must Try people!
