I have ysl y edp and dylan blue, honestly i prefer dylan blue. I don't know about you guys but i love the scent of dylan blue so versatile and good for everyday use in any occasion

[@FutureHNDRXX]

So is YSL y EDP

[@jeanpierrefrederick5612]

I’ve also heard a lot more people receive compliments with dylan blue as opposed to the other frequently talked about blue fragrances. All in all you just have to wear what you like and makes you feel good over listening to some of the people on here cause a lot of them just shit on certain fragrances because of popularity

Halloween man x dry down and sillage is fantastic. Polo red extreme doesn't last as long for me

[@Mike-oi2th]

i intend to buy polo red extreme. how is it compare to HMX in term of scent? is it smell more natural ground coffee or something else that u prefer over?

[@donis361]

​@@Mike-oi2th I didn't taste polo but I love hmx, probably the best cheap perfume I know and is a compliment magnet. highly recommend

[@kacemagic5719]

​​@@Mike-oi2th Polo Red Extreme has much better quality, and a better balanced coffee scent, and I like the drydown of it a lot more than Halloween Man X, which comes off as kinda cheap smelling (at least up close) HMX is a lot less dense than PRE but it projects more, which makes sense since PRE's a Parfum. Also PRE has a orangey chocolatey opening, so if you don't like that then you'll probably prefer the HMX opening, despite it being kinda imbalanced. Big price difference though, so if you're just exploring that kinda dna then go for HMX since it's cheap

[@kacemagic5719]

Also I'd need to do more testing to see how long PRE lasts, coz it's possible I go noseblind after a bit, but from what I've experienced so far I don't think it's as incredibly long lasting as it's hyped to be

[@bobbyz414CML]

Bleu de chanel is so overrated. Gives barely 1-2hrs of longevity with mild projection as opposed to YSL y that gives 8hrs+ longevity with huge projection.

[@bullymaguire793]

I totally agree with you. Therefore, i never buy those cheap-fake middle eastern so wanna be expensive designer or niche perfumes.

[@kadiryilmis3721]

[@eddwallis6590]

Dylan Blue absolutely knocks YSL Y EDP out the park but to be fair they are completely different scents. BDC is probably the natural “upgrade” option for Dylan Blue

[@HakimBeyYT]

Y edp is longer lasting obviously as an edp vs dylan blue being edt, if they made a dylan blue edp for men it’d be insane

[@wyattc1007]

I also own both. And I strongly disagree. For me, Dylan Blue doesn’t even come close in the Quality category. It’s not something I would ever wear to work or on a date. Smells great, but like a boujee body wash to me. Y EDP can be worn any time and anywhere. It’s my all time favorite fragrance!

[@mikew6135]

​​@@wyattc1007 You wouldn't wear on a date or to work. LOL. Yeah ok. Dylan Blue is very tame especially on the dry down. You are obviously talking of the top notes which fade quickly. One can easily wear Dylan to work and especially on a date since most women enjoy the scent of DB. Guarantee DB will beat Y every time on the street

[@jamesclayton7161]

I’m not sure I 100% agree with this take, yes some of the designer fragrances can’t be matched but there are a lot of affordable fragrances that deliver high quality and clones that are sometimes perform better than the OG cologne it’s trying to copy. Don’t always buy for the name. For example like Lattafa Asad which is a clone of Sauvage Elixir…and this is just me but in my opinion and my skin Asad performs and smells better on me than Sauvage Elixir…and I only paid $25 for Asad compared to $250 for Sauvage Elixir even though I do have both but I don’t wear Elixir anymore ever since I got Asad. I also have Lattafa Mahiir Legacy Silver which is a clone of PDM Sedley. It’s not a 1 to 1 but it’s damn close one is $30 compared to $345. So all in all get the one that best works for your budget and best works for your skin and performs best
