🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Daylight is bottled as a 50 ml eau de parfum with close to 20% fragrance oil. It costs an affordable €25, the same as every other scent in the range. Free shipping on any order from €49, and delivery lands in 2 to 5 working days.

Dylan Blue is sold as an eau de parfum, so Daylight matches that concentration. It sits denser than an eau de toilette, without going as heavy as an extrait de parfum.

Longevity is 6 to 9 hours. French fragrance oils, hand filled in small batches, vegan throughout. Not for you? Daylight can be exchanged within 15 days.

NOTES

Top notes

Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit, fig leaves, aquatic notes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Daylight is our perfume dupe of Versace Dylan Blue, made for men who love that clean, salty-fresh citrus opening and want to wear it every day. The top notes are bergamot, grapefruit, fig leaves and a splash of something marine; the middle notes bring violet leaf, black pepper, papyrus wood, ambroxan and patchouli; and it settles into mineral musk, tonka beans, saffron and incense.

The grapefruit and bergamot hit first, sharp and a little salty, before the violet and pepper soften things into something greener and spicier. By the drydown the musk, tonka and ambroxan take over and the whole thing turns warm and slightly sweet, closer to the skin than the bright opening suggested. Among fresh citrus fragrances that is unusual: most of them lose the early sharpness on the way to the base, and this one keeps a trace of it.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Daylight

Inspired by: Dylan Blue, Versace

Daylight works best from spring through summer, when the citrus opening has room to breathe, though the musk and tonka base carry it into cooler days too. One spray in the morning is usually enough for a full working day.

It is built as a masculine scent for him and reads that way on most men, clean rather than heavy, the kind of fragrance you can put on without thinking about it. It suits the office as easily as a night out, and among fresh men's perfumes it holds its own without turning sharp or synthetic. It is also one of the easier perfumes in the range to wear from morning through to the evening.

Choose our Inspiration

Versace is an Italian design house, and Dylan Blue is one of its best known designer fragrances for men, the house's answer to the clean, fresh wave that dominates men's fragrance today. Versace kept its usual boldness but made this one fresher and easier to wear day to day than most of what came before it.

Most people just call it Dylan Blue rather than using the full Versace name, and that shorthand is what anyone looking for a perfume dupe, a clone or an alternative tends to search for. It is a designer release rather than a niche one, and it sits among the more approachable fragrances in a category full of heavier designer fragrances.

Why choose us?

Daylight is our alternative to Versace Dylan Blue, one of the designer originals we set out to match properly rather than approximately. It is our own blend, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches, and the top notes accord is where we spent the most time, because that is the part anyone who knows Dylan Blue recognises first.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, because that is where this fresh, marine composition sits best. The fastest way to judge any of our dupes is to smell one yourself: if it smells like something else to you, send it back within 15 days and we will swap it.
