Voluptuous, attention-grabbing and more than a little bit sexy, Versace’s Dylan Blue Pour Femme is everything you’d expect from the fabulously excessive Italian fashion house, and then some.

A fragrance for a woman who wants a signature that not only reflects her personality but also empowers her mood, Dylan Blue Pour Femme is a confidence-boosting tour de force of juicy fruit, plush flowers and voluptuous woods. It’s a ‘for women, by women’ sort of a fragrance; imagined by the iconic Donatella Versace and composed by über perfumer Calice Becker, Dylan Blue Pour Femme is an ode to no-holds-barred femininity that’s designed to be as versatile as the woman who wears it.

If you’re looking for a new fragrance that will add a bit of playfulness to your polished looks, and a touch of elegance to moments of seduction, Dylan Blue Pour Femme will do just that.

There are some fragrances that tell a measured story, and then there are some that are pure alchemy. For me, Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme falls into that latter category. There have been times recently when I’ve worn it and it’s taken shape as a shadowy scent of woods and resins, and then other times it’s a field of wildflowers. There’s one resolute thing about Versace’s latest pillar fragrance, though – it’s not your average floral-fruity-woody scent.

Donatella Versace’s guiding vision for Dylan Blue Pour Femme was the idea of women having the confidence to own their power, so perfumer Calice Becker set to work crafting a fragrance that not only emboldens its wearer but also doesn’t smell quite like anything else. The result is an elixir-like Eau de Parfum that has all of the hallmarks of a Versace classic; both sensual and elegant, with a strength of character that is instantly captivating.

Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme opens with the unmistakable bite of a juicy Granny Smith apple paired with a quenching blackcurrant sorbet, a mouthwatering combination that is just pure pleasure. It’s in the heart of the fragrance that a frisson happens, with armfuls of imaginary blooms including Petalia® (a rose/peony hybrid) and Rosyfolia® (a fresh and rosy note), which are tied by a thread of intoxicating jasmine. An icy infusion of peach introduces a hint of an aquatic edge before Dylan Blue Pour Femme plunges into the depths of resinous styrax and patchouli in the base, completing its descent into pure seduction.

Versace’s fascination with Greek mythology is a huge part of the fashion house’s identity, and the Dylan Blue Pour Femme bottle reflects this beautifully. Its amphora-like curves are crafted from glass the colour of the Mediterranean Sea and topped with weighty golden hardware for a luxurious finish. The final touch is the iconic Medusa embellishment, which emphatically sets it apart as a Versace creation.
