    Nice vid. I personally disagree with Acqua Essenziale Blu. I used to own that fragrance and I still prefer Dylan Blue over it. I don't get the hype on Essenziale Blu. It was just a meh for me and I honestly enjoy Dylan Blue better with that darker patchouli note combined with the acquatic notes. Nice review nonetheless.

    I understand your point according to Prada L'homme. I have never tried Dior Eau for men unfortunately. I think I would love it. But I still can't stop loving that high quality smooth iris blend alternative of Prada. I think it is very well blended with sharp crisp notes of cardamon and pepper and probably a hint of patchouli. In my opinion the perfumery here is beautifully done. In addition I personally like iris note.
    I own Dylan Blue in my collection. I would rather agree with a lower quality of Ambroxan here than In Sauvage line. But I like the dna, I think it is nicely done with incense note, what makes it a bit more interesting than Sauvage in my opinion.
    My best wishes, great material as always Omar. Your channel worth more audience definitely.
