I compared it with Creed Jardin d’Amalfi side by side on my skin. At the initial spray, they are not the same. 70% similar but they were different. However, 2-3 munites in, they were very similar. In 5 min., I couldn’t tell wich was which. 50 min. after the spray, i noticed BDC is weaker than JdA and it continuously faded. After 2 hours i could detect the scent only with my nose a inch or 1.5 inch away from the skin while JdA was still going fine. I tried the both on my friend and the same result was in. However, taking the cost effectiveness into a consideration, BCD is totally worth it. I don’t think I can afford or am crazy enough to spend $1000 on another 250ml scented water. However, there is a room for improvement in longevity. The longeivity isn’t simply acceptible.

Don’t much care for the first 10 minutes, but once the petitgrain dies down a bit, it’s actually a very beautiful spring summer fresh scent.
I got Varvatos Artisan Pure around the same time as this sample… And it’s in the same vein, but I much prefer this one.

I don’t own Creed Jardin di Amalfi.. I don’t know if I ever will, but putting my nose on this and reading the description, I definitely get exactly as described and can imagine. Smells decent but I prefer Zion over this.

I haven’t smelled Creed Jardin di Amalfi, which is the inspiration for Della Costa, but I can tell you that ot is a nice, bright citrus and neroli frag that will definitely be in my summer rotation along with Alexandria Port and Citrus Splash. Performance is good for a freshie, 4-6 hours on my skin, so I tend to keep a small decant on hand to re-up if I’m going out after work.

On me, it’s a fresh neroli/citrus fragrance that dries down to some sweet orange musk. I can smell some ambroxan on the dry down even if it’s not listed. The lasting power is not very strong, but it’s more on the cologne side, so I don’t mind. Overall pleasant and inoffensive.
