A new beginning with a different sign
My wife gave me the name brother EdT for Christmas 2010. It was my first bottle, a little nobler. The magnetic lid enchanted me and I found the scent of Chanel - which is a luxury fashion house - just special cream as a matter of principle.
But now it happened that I developed a greater and greater aversion to the fragrance after a few months as the wearing time of the fragrance increased. It's hard for me to describe this dislike. For me there was a certain oppressive warmth or stuffness that made me unable to bear and wear BdC EdT any longer.
This sense of smell resonates with almost all Chanel men's fragrances for me. In a statement I once called this self-smell Chanelin. The only exception for me is Chanel's Allure Homme Edition Blanche. Until now.
Recently I bought a day cream in a perfumery (yes, even we gentlemen use Ü39 more than Nivea now) and the nice lady apologized that she only had one kind of samples left to give me. I read only Chanel and Bleu and was not very enthusiastic. But I could give the sample to a colleague.
I wasn't aware before that there was a new derivative of Bleu in 2014 and that it was launched on the market with the addition of Eau de Parfum. I was sure that the difference to the EdT would not be big, but I sprayed the sample on myself. Although the Chanelin can be guessed, the so frowned upon stuffness shines here with absence. Yes, in my nose the two scents are quite similar, but the EdP is a bit more light-footed and completely without the warmth that makes breathing difficult at some point. Well, I was thrilled. I announced my new discovery and my wife, herself a large Chanel fragrance wearer (I could only perceive Chanelin very weakly in women's fragrances), gave me a small bottle of the fragrance for my wedding day last Friday.
I'm really happy about my rediscovery and wore BdC yesterday during our morning grocery shopping and sprayed again as we spent some time in a furniture store near Hamburg in the afternoon (by the way there were 40% on many parts :-)). That was a mistake. I was of the opinion that the scent had vanished after a few hours, only because of that I added more. My wife confirmed several times in the afternoon, in the stuffy furniture store, without being asked, that I was somewhat "over-perfumed". This means that the dear Bleu likes to make himself scarce in his own nose, while he still projects beautifully further into other noses. I'll have to remember :-)
I'm glad about the rediscovery, because I finally like it very much in this recipe again.
Thanks for reading.
