Christina Aguilera Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray Hermès Dylan Blue is less cologne

Dylan Blue is less cologne and more a cologne that's thought about itself

Lattafa layers it with amber and a dry woody base so it sits closer to leather-bound than resinous

Two or three spritzes hold from morning through to evening

Ted Baker edges it with bergamot and a touch of musk

then settles into a woody-amber base that smells like the kind of man who actually showers after the gym

Christina Aguilera Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray Hermès Dylan Blue is less cologneOut of the bottle: peach and mandarin, then a warm amber base that sits closer to skin than projection. This is the EDP that launched the Christina Aguilera fragrance linea fruity floral that doesn't apologise for being sweet, but doesn't shout either. 75ml in the signature bottle. Two or three sprays from the atomiser carry through the day; reapply mid afternoon if you want the lift.
