NEW Afnan 9am Dive Review - Great Summertime Blue Scent! (opens in a new tab)The opening don't find it similar to BDC. I have both. I don't like BDC, but liked 9 am when I smelled it. But the dry down does smell similar.

NEW Afnan 9am Dive Review - Great Summertime Blue Scent! (opens in a new tab)Dont think its a clone per se, more their take on the blue scent imo. Theres better choices for bdc clones, this one stands on its own.
