What wearers say

“Explorer Ultra Blue is a fresh, citrus, aromatic and marine fragrance.Its opening is quite citrusy and fresh, it is pleasant and masculine, and gradually gives way to a more aromatic and marine phase, without many changes in its development. It gives the feeling of being freshly showered and giving a dose of energy.Ultra Blue is fresh and therefore ideal for use on warm days, such as spring and summer.In performance it lasted me at least 8 hrs. (or more)., without much sillage, but not at skin level.It's not as interesting as the original Explorer, but it's versatile and enjoyable.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is basic. It smells like an ocean with some bergamot, and yeah, that's it. It's very simple and basic, but not in a way that would be worth buying it.The performance wasn't great either. It lasted about two hours on my skin, and it didn't really leave a trail.Honestly, this is a pass. 3/10. Only get it if you have a lot of blow-off money and don't know what to do with it.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Idk how this fragrance has only 3.57 rating. I’m a 15 year old guy and this has become my signature scent, cause everybody around me (classmates, family, friends) tells me i smell REALLY nice. for such a cheap price this fragrance smells so good and has great longevity and performance, that is on my skin tho. just 4 sprays lasts me all day and doesn’t lose its power during the day.”

The original offers superior longevity and stronger sillage, while Encode Blue delivers a lighter, more linear fragrance that fades faster. The citrus opening is nearly identical, but the original's base has more depth and complexity.

Sillage

The clone delivers comparable top notes but with reduced depth in the heart and a less complex base that doesn't age as elegantly. Longevity is notably shorter, lasting around 5-6 hours versus the original's 7-8 hours, with noticeably softer sillage.

Sillage

The clone matches the top and middle notes closely but shows less nuanced development in the base notes. Longevity and sillage are slightly reduced compared to the designer fragrance, with a slightly more linear progression rather than the original's evolving character.
