The review
Explore scores 5.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Dylan Blue.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Dylan Blue's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 43% less than Dylan Blue — the 6th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Versace Dylan Blue is Calabrian Bergamot, grapefruit and fig leaf at first, Ambroxan, black pepper and papyrus at its heart and incense, Tonka Bean and saffron at the end. AromaPassions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
