Bleu de Chanel Parfum was an excellent choice.I was little skeptical because I had used EDT earlier.

The woodiness, the power. The energy this hits me with, is so amazing. The mint and grapefruit sticks out most to me in my batch, but I love that. It’s just so great, and everyone loves it. I wore it to work and everyone complimented me, telling me I smell fresh, saying I smell sexy, and even asking what it is. To me, this works like a head turner. Everyone wants to know: What is he wearing, why does he smell so good? And I agree, this is such a luxurious scent by such a luxurious designer brand. A burst of grapefruit in the opening. Slightly intense but it slowly turns into a welcoming and pleasing woodsy fragrance. Chanel really outdid the market with this masterpiece. I’m anosmic to this fragrance, therefore I go nose blind after 6 hours but I tend to get ... MoreThe woodiness, the power. The energy this hits me with, is so amazing.

I’m anosmic to this fragrance, therefore I go nose blind after 6 hours but I tend to get compliments around 8-9 hours later. As of the day I purchased this, I lean towards these types of designer men’s colognes. It’s sophisticated and works everyday, and business meetings, mass appealing, high quality and designer. I’ll never smell a fragrance in my collection the same again. Love this

I have been wearing Bleu de Chanel for a few years now and I absolutely love it. It is a great everyday fragrance that I can wear to work, out with friends, or on a date. I get compliments on it all the time, and I always feel confident and put-together when I wear it. The top notes of Bleu de Chanel are bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon. These notes are bright and refreshing, and they give the fragrance a very clean and invigorating opening. The heart notes are lavender, ginger, and patchouli. These notes add a touch of warmth and spice to the fragrance, and they help to create a very well-rounded and balanced scent. The base notes are cedarwood, sandalwood, and musk. These notes provide a grounding and masculine finish to the fragrance. Bleu de Chanel is a great ... MoreI have been wearing Bleu de Chanel for a few years now and I absolutely love it.

Bleu de Chanel is a great choice for men who want a versatile fragrance that can be worn for any occasion. It is perfect for the office, a night out, or just running errands. It's also a great choice for men who want a fragrance that will get them noticed. Here are some of the pros and cons of Bleu de Chanel: Pros: Fresh, woody, and spicy Versatile Long-lasting Gets compliments Cons: Can be a bit pricey Not as unique as some other fragrances Overall, I highly recommend Bleu de Chanel to any man looking for a great everyday fragrance. It's fresh, versatile, long-lasting, and gets compliments.

Chanel shook up mens fragrances in I believe 2010, when they released bleu. It first was the EDT, and in 2019 they released the parfum version. All of them are superior, crisp, athletic, and masculine. Yet the one that is the winning combination is the EDP. For whatever reason, this is far more powerful than the parfum one. That’s unusual as the oil levels in this should be 10 to 15%, whereas the parfum is in the 20 to 30% category. This could come down to one’s own chemistry, but this one is a powerhouse on my skin. It’s a all season performer. That type of versatility alone, can make this your signature scent. If I had to go with only one, it would be Chanel Bleu EDP. Released in 2014, I’ll soon be ordering another bottle of this. Let’s first talk about ... MoreChanel shook up mens fragrances in I believe 2010, when they released bleu.

If I had to go with only one, it would be Chanel Bleu EDP. Released in 2014, I’ll soon be ordering another bottle of this. Let’s first talk about the bottle. It’s upscale elegant. That blue square has a magnetic top. The famous Chanel logo is on this, and it does come in a expensive quality box. I think this shows Chanel’s pride in this, which is well deserved by the way. There’s a reason it both sells and smells so good. There’s a beautiful simplicity here. Some have said expensive mens shower gel scent, but ladies I know like a clean man. There’s a reason why this is rated so highly. It’s strong and the projection is easily two feet for hours. Yes this does become a skin scent, but for 9 to 12 hours of durability represents a solid value. This costs more than some, but it’s still completely priced. It probably won’t go on sale, but if you use shopping apps to get a percentage back, that is always a sound policy. Three sprays to the chest, and roll on out. This is probably best for guys 25 and up, due to its mature and refined scents. These include especially orange, lemon, and sandalwood. There’s also some vetiver, cedar, tonka bean, and as it dries down playful vanilla. That’s a wonderful combination. Chanel perfumers delivered a solid performer, as these mix so good with each other, and deliver a pleasing scent profile. In winter add one more spray. Other than that, this is my favorite. It can be worn in a t shirt and shorts, up to a suit. Any occasion this works, and despite its popularity, women do notice and appreciate this scent. Also I do as when putting this on, even if I’m looking a little rough after long hours, the scent is masculine and sophisticated. Confidence in a bottle. Everything about this including the atomizer is high quality, and it has earned my highest possible recommendation. As a man and fan of colognes, this one without a doubt is the champion of them all.

This is a cologne a male relative of mine was wearing and he smelled fantastic in a circle of people. We all asked him what he was wearing and he proudly held out his travel size Bleu de Chanel. He sprayed it on each of us and when I went home that night, I could still smell it on my wrists and my jacket. This cologne smells fresh, clean, and refreshing. It reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana’s Light Blue because it has citrus (grapefruit and lemon) and floral (jasmine) but it’s different because it’s a little bit woody. All in all, a very nice smelling scent that leaves an impression. Top notes are Grapefruit, Lemon, Mint and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Ginger, Nutmeg, Jasmine and Iso E Super; base notes are Incense, Vetiver, Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum ... MoreThis is a cologne a male relative of mine was wearing and he smelled fantastic in a circle of people.

Bleu De Chanel Parfum is an exceptional fragrance that perfectly encapsulates the essence of masculinity and sophistication. From the first whiff, this cologne evokes a sense of confidence, power, and elegance. One of the things I love most about Bleu De Chanel Parfum is its longevity. This fragrance is designed to last all day, and it certainly delivers. With just a few sprays in the morning, I can still smell the cologne on my skin well into the evening. The scent itself is complex and intriguing. It opens with a burst of fresh, zesty citrus notes, which are quickly complemented by warm, spicy aromas of cedar and sandalwood. The base notes of musk and amber provide a rich, earthy undertone that makes this fragrance perfect for any occasion.

It's a true classic that never goes out of style.

A step up from previous versions

The opening notes of the parfum version of Bleu de Chanel smell very similar to the EDT and EDP variations, perhaps to the point of being indistinguishable. This really is where the similarities end however as after an hour or so this fragrance transforms from the familiar citrus notes to a beautiful dry-down of sandalwood mixed with amber and vanilla which is simply beautiful. Rich and sensual, after the opening this really is a scent which stands on it's own.I'd already owned the EDT version for a number of years. As to be expected with a parfum the projection with this is less (maybe a few feet) but the scent lasts longer on your skin and especially clothing...I can still smells this on my coat cuffs days later whereas the EDT vanishes fairly quickly.

Where the EDT and especially the EDP can smell overly synthetic, the parfum smells far more natural due to the addition of sandalwood and tonka in the base.If you're new to Bleu de Chanel, I can confidently say it's worth heading straight to the parfum version.

Amazing

I love Chanel blue, If I were forced to pick a favorite, Perfume would win by a wide margin because of its numerous notes and overall performance as a long-lasting fragrance. No EDT projection. We are all different, and maybe for some reason you don't have good chemistry with me. There may be more realistic options, but this is the best one that makes sense so far.Do you like BDC perfumes? yes. I love it? Not quite there. You are paying more per ounce for this one.The 3.4 was about $160 and the other is a better deal. First off, I love this bottle.The gold embossed letters and magnetic cap are noble. In addition, its square shape is a sign of quality, and if you are looking for a skin scent that women like, this cologne is for you. So for dating, this bottle and its ... MoreI love Chanel blue, If I were forced to pick a favorite, Perfume would win by a wide margin because of its numerous notes and overall performance as a long-lasting fragrance.

So for dating, this bottle and its incredible atomizer are a great place to start.Warm days tend to work better than cold days. It's a generous helping per puff, so let's take a look at the scent profile.It's a shame because this one has more woody notes than the others and less citrus.This one also has vanilla and vetiver. No, but it's a shame because these are universally loved. I prefer Tonka Bean which takes a little longer, but that's not enough to overtake the rest of the line. We have owned this perfume for several years and I certainly appreciate it if Chanel makes it stronger and lacks notes.The underperformance is definitely noticeable. It's like a "relaxed BDC". Perfume shouldn't be able to do that. It's meant to deliver a cloud of scent, and that doesn't happen here. There's no projection to speak of unless you're totally addicted to spray volume. don't do that. Annoying in every situation. Perfect for office or date use. It won't offend anyone, but it's less likely that a woman will ask what you're wearing. I like this one and some may like this looser pile.

My entry into the perfume world

I don't suppose I'm the only one for whom BdC was one of the first - if not the first - bottle in the collection. It doesn't matter if it's an EdT, EdP or directly the perfume - Bleu de Chanel is first and foremost one thing: mass appeal. Why I should discover the perfume world for myself with a fragrance that is suitable for the masses? BdC manages to lure the inexperienced nose into a completely new spectrum of fragrances without overwhelming it. It is a fragrance that I would recognize without any experience in the fragrance world from quite a few. That's what makes it special: Bleu de Chanel is slick and yet completely unique - no other fragrance in the perfume department of the local mainstream fragrance house smells like it, and yet it doesn't offend at any ... MoreI don't suppose I'm the only one for whom BdC was one of the first - if not the first - bottle in the collection.

It is elegant but fresh, complex but simple and intense but easy to wear. For me, a must-have in any collection and a brilliant tip to pick up a perfume newbie.
