    I bought it smell AMAZING. Longevity is also days long.
    I noticed that if you spray up straight up from the bottle; I did 5 sprays. You go nose blind really quick.
    Coincidentally, I bought a 8ml high quality travel spray bottle with a micro mist ”because the scent didn't last".
    So instead of spraying from the perfume bottle, I filled up my nano mist travel bottle. I did 5 sprays, and I was smelling myself the whole day. Even my clothes smelled like cedarwood, incense, and black currant days after I sprayed myself and my shirt sat on my dirty clothes basket.
    Wow, I'm blown away.

    Thank you for the 9am Dive performance comments. My skin chemistry is very anti-fragrance in that most scents last for less than 4 hours, I like to spend my money on fragrances that last longer than 8 hours (which would last about 4-6 hours on me). You rock, bro!

      Same I have rarely rarely ever had anything over 12 hours Fahrenheit Parfum is one of the few I can think of but yeah "Dylan Blue lasts all day" yeah right 6 hours max if I skateboard for 2 hours it is barely there when I get home. I run hot and I am in South Florida even indoors they go bye bye very fast on me but outside forget about it nothing lasts more than 6 hours on me outside maybe Rasasi Shurah and their very similar freshie that smells like just the aquatic and rose bits Nafaeis Al Shaghaf. Problem is they are so piercing they are hard to wear for that long so lose lose for me, less is more with those I have found.

    I already have Fakhar and Hunter Intense. HI performs very well and smells wonderful, fakhar smells great but not as strong (but still good performance).. 9am Dive grabbed my interest when it first dropped, but glad I didn’t pick it up. Think I’m pretty well set up for blues that have much better performance.

  • @adamtrons
    @adamtrons Рік тому +4

    I blind bought this and tried it today. Also, not impressed with the performance. Get about 2 to 3 hours at most. Had to keep reapplying throughout the day. 9 PM in the black bottle lasts me all day and night and was hoping the same for this. Also, this does not smell blue or aquatic to me as it is marketed. Unless you consider apple, patchouli, ginger, sandalwood or jasmine to be aquatic. It is more of a sweet fruit and woods type sent on me. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but it also seems to have DNA from 9 PM/JPG Ultra Male. I guess it shares the apple, patchouli, etc. It was cool here today, so I'll try it again next week when it's going to heat up and I'll see if it does any better before I decide to keep or toss.

    Afnan Highness III Green is one that got hype early and is often out of stock on the discounters.And when it is in stock it's almost $70. I'm very curious about it but also hesitant to buy that when with the same money I can get 2 $30 scents.

    Hey! Wow, such a let down! I was ready to blind buy this one once price drop to reasonable level (almost 50$ here). 4 hours is unacceptable for me. Now I'll have to sample first or wait for warmer months. One question: when you take the bad performance out of the picture, which would you choose rating only by the scent quality and profile: Cdnim Iconic or 9AM Dive?

    • @PostCologne
      @PostCologne  Рік тому +1

      That's a tough one honestly because both scent profiles are nice. I'm leaning iconic, only because I've gotten compliments each time I've worn it. But 9AM is nice still, just lacks performance for me
