This is arguably one of the most refined, versatile designer fragrance a man can get. Fresh, woody, airy, and slightly incensy (not so much that it becomes annoying). I get 8 hours of longevity and 3 hours of good projection. Suitable for just about any situation since it’s fresh enough to be worn during the heat but also woody enough to be suitable in cold weather. Now, you might be thinking: ‘what’s the difference between the EDT, EDP, and Parfum versions? Parfum: denser and woodier. Will last longer and your skin and form a nice scent bubble but won’t project as well as the EDT or EDP versions EDT: best projecting out of the three. Doesn’t last as long as the EDP or Parfum but it is fresher and more citrusy than both. EDP: in between the EDP and Parfum version

This is my favourite blue fragrance I've ever smelled. It's very original but with a quite familiar DNA, Bleu de Chanel just does it better, beautifully blended, fresh, sexy and smooth yet sharp. It could be worn in a business meeting or on a hot day at the beach, it’s extremely versatile. But it still stands out, in a way that it'll be the best-smelling scent in the room. It opens with a blast of cool-refreshing citruses, sweet pineapple, and ginger for sharpness - in the dry down sandalwood, mossy greens, lavender and slightly resinous. Lasts around 6-8 hours. Quite a lovely scent, that’s definitely worth having in your collection and an easy blind buy/signature scent.

If you smelled one bleu de Chanel you smelled them all. This is the quintessential blue freshy fragrance. There are differences between the EDT the EDP and the parfum tho. The EDT is much louder and ambroxen heavy and really smells for people 25 and under. The EDP is just as loud but with a touch less sweetness is for a bit more even fragrance that's good for all age ranges. The parfum is much more subdued really dialed back on the ambroxen and adds more woods for more dense experience. The longevity is pretty good at about 7 hours, projection like I said is not beastly like the other two as this sits at elbows length. The biggest takeaway though is that this is a lot more refined and elegant than the other two versions so I would wear this if I were 30 and up as it ... MoreIf you smelled one bleu de Chanel you smelled them all.

The most elegant and beautiful of the line hands down. I love the addition of lavender and is a much more layered scent in my opinion than the edt and edp. Definitely more ‘perfumey’ but definitely still an incredible masculine fragrance. The performance could be a lot better which is a little depressing but there is no doubt that this fragrance is timeless and overall perfects the DNA in my opinion given my personal preferences. The dry down with a heavy dose of ISO with amberwood, cedar, and sandalwood is addictive and I love the touch of green it has. Just amazingly layered as I mentioned. I do find I need to reapply every 4 hours or so, and I bring a small decant with me. At the price it is, the performance should be better but I will be keeping a bottle in my ... MoreThe most elegant and beautiful of the line hands down.

At the price it is, the performance should be better but I will be keeping a bottle in my rotation forever given how great it smells. I find I also love the Parfum version of Sauvage and I like the BDC and Sauvage DNAs but these stronger concentrations allow more mature wearers to find scents in these lines that they may prefer, offer similar versatility, and are ultimately more refined.

I absolutely love Chanel Bleu, albeit in the EDP or EDT. If forced to pick a favorite, the EDP would win by a large margin. That’s due to its multitude of notes, and overall performance as a long lasting scent. For whatever reason the parfum doesn’t have the projection, of the EDP or EDT. It could be we are all different, and it just for whatever reason doesn’t have a good chemical reaction with me. There could be a more realistic option, but that’s the best that so far makes sense. Do I like the BDC parfum? Yes. Love it? Not quite there. You’re paying more per ounce with this one. The 3.4 was around $160, and the others represent a better deal. First off I love this bottle. The gold color embossed lettering, and the magnetic cap are classy. Plus this square shape ... MoreI absolutely love Chanel Bleu, albeit in the EDP or EDT.

The 3.4 was around $160, and the others represent a better deal. First off I love this bottle. The gold color embossed lettering, and the magnetic cap are classy. Plus this square shape is a sign of quality, and this cologne is, if you want a skin scent that ladies do like. So for a date, this bottle and it’s incredible atomizer, are a good way to get started. Warmer days tend to work better than cold with this. Each spray is a generous portion, and let’s take a look at the scent profile. This one has more wood notes than the others, and less citrus which is disappointing. This also has less vanilla and vetiver, which a shame as these are universally loved. I do like the more tonka bean, which takes some time, but this isn’t enough to make it overtake the rest of the line. This parfum has been our several years, and if Chanel made this stronger and with the notes lacking, I’d certainly rank it higher. The lack of notes is definitely noticed. It’s like a “laid back BDC.” That’s not what a parfum is supposed to do. It’s supposed to deliver a scent cloud, and this won’t be happening here. There’s no projection to speak of, unless you go absolutely insane with spray amounts. Please don’t do that. It’ll become annoying, in any situation you’re in. The best uses for this are the office or a date. You won’t offend anyone, but chances of having ladies ask what you’re wearing, won’t be happening in abundance. I like this one, and for some guys, you might like this more easy going batch. I wish this was stronger, and that it would last longer. You might get 4 to 5 hours here. At this cost that’s a big time shame. I absolutely recommend the other BDC choices, but this one is only a conditional nod of approval.

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.

Overall, I would highly recommend Bleu De Chanel Parfum to any man looking for a sophisticated and masculine fragrance that will turn heads and leave a lasting impression. It's a true classic that never goes out of style.

A tribute to masculine freedom in an aromatic-woody fragrance with a captivating trail. A timeless, anti-conformist fragrance housed in an enigmatic blue bottle. The anti-conformist spirit of BLEU DE CHANEL conveyed in an Eau de Parfum for men. A more radical olfactory signature for even greater self-affirmation. BLEU DE CHANEL Eau de Parfum, an aromatic-woody fragrance with amber and musky notes. A sensual interpretation in which ambery dry cedar notes lend sensuality and voluptuousness. The musky woody notes and New Caledonian Sandalwood add elegance and depth.

Such a beautiful fragrance! This was the first Chanel I ever bought for myself and 1 for my boyfriend I was very impressed! It has such a natural smell to it, very premium, and well blended. The grapefruit adds this elegant freshness to it. The mint adds this bit of sharpness and cooling smell. The ginger adds this piney citrus smell to the composition. Finally the incense adds this smokey roundness to make this fragrance a very elegant scent. Overall a great pick, I love the way it smells. Especially during the summer. It’s clean and sophisticated I definitely recommend this fragrance to anyone wanting to try out a Chanel mens fragrance. It’s worth the money and you won’t be disappointed

This review is for the PARFUM concentration of Bleu de Chanel. Although the parfum is absolutely fantastic, it is only my second favorite fragrance in my 50+ bottle collection. It is second to the eau de parfum concentration of Bleu de Chanel. The parfum concentration results in a much more prevalent creaminess (I assume because of the stronger sandalwood accord), and less citrusy scent. The parfum concentration does not project as far and does not last as long as the eau de parfum, but it is much better than the eau de toilette. The parfum concentration makes for a better "masculine" scent compared to the eau de parfum and eau de toilette as it really leans on the woodiness and creaminess as opposed to any sort of sweetness.

Tester

Its was boss aftershave and selling for a good price. My lad would rather wear a bad smelling designer label than a cheap nice smelling scent. So I bought him a designer gift. Whilst I was awaiting delivery I had popped into boots and sought out the bottle. I also managed to blag a vial. Very nice indeed, he doesn't know he's getting it, so he might not. My Mrs asked what I had got on, I told her, tester. I find boss original a strong statement smell. Just Different, is like the original, just lighter and sweeter. Original is serious, Just Different, is not there to compete it smells good and draws compliments. My lad even likes it. Hope Santa has got my letter and not stuck in the strike backlog. I will just have to ration the vial.
