Bleu de Chanel
Eau de Parfum, Chanel (2014)

6/10 it kind of works as a showergel from chanel vibe but its not full bottle worthy

In making the EDP more dense than the EDT, Chanel has (inadvertently?) sent Bleu straight into the realm of a shower gel scent. Unremarkable and not particularly easy on the nose.

Not great. In fact the frankincense gives the whole an "off"-vibe to me. You know like some people find cumin to be kinda BO-like.

But in this case the whole concoction reminds me too much of the smell of some type of blue/aquatic toilet cakes.

Is it just the incense or do Chanel sneak some civet into this as well maybe? That might be my mind playing tricks on me though.

There's like a hundred much better blue scents out there: AdG Profondo, Ralph Lauren Polo Blue, Invictus/Hawas, ...

I am a niche fragrance lover. I have over 300 bottle of fragrances. This one was about to be givwnen away because I couldn't remember why I owned it what it smelled like. I sprayed it to be sure I wanted to part with it and I could not.

This is a super fresh, spicy, citrus blast that lasts. No, it is not unique. I've smelled similar but the similarities are only with regard to some of the ingredients. For me, this lasts and it's timeless. I won't be able to part with it after all.

Season: all
Would I buy again? Yes

I would love to know if anyone has any better frags that are similar to this one and why.

Fresh, citrusy, sophisticated but definitely not unique. I bought it last month after smelling it on a paper strip at the airport. I'm wearing this almost every other day since trying to figure out what I'm missing- this perfume has been successful for the house of Chanel so I'm trying hard to get the missing link! I have the EDP version and after the fresh summer vibe it just stays like that without a proper drydown before it fades away in a couple of hours.

First fragrance I’ve smelt that’s made me gag, not a fan of this despite give a fair chance just something about it makes me feel nauseous
