My Absolute No.1, yesterday, today and forever

This is my No. 1 which also happens to be my most complimented fragrance of all time, a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Everything about this version of BdC spells class, from the its top note to the its dry down. Longevity for me is amazing. Did I mention it is versatile? Well, you can spray this on for any occasion and still be able to pull it off. I personally find the EDP to be the most versatile version compared to its siblings, the EDT and Parfum versions.

If I only had to choose one fragrance for the rest of my life, BdC EDP would be it. It is that good.

The beginning

"Are you looking for something in particular?"

The friendly employee in the perfumery, who almost looked at me pitifully, had obviously noticed that the decision was difficult for me. No wonder, I was completely inexperienced and had no idea of various scent compositions, nor did I know what a so-called silage is.

"Hello? Looking for something in particular?"

After the second try, I finally noticed her. I told her I don't really know what it's gonna be at all.

I'd never been in the fragrance business before. Actually, it was just a pastime that led me here.

It didn't take long and I got a handful of advice and scent tips. However, none of the scents presented really appealed to me. Probably for this very reason I have never been to a facility like this before.

I asked myself the question that was decisive: was there a fragrance at all that I could particularly like?

"Well, I'm sure there's something else for you to see."

With a smile on her face, the salesgirl went to the next customer.

Suddenly I saw a separately placed "bottle" on a small table. At that time I would have looked at everyone crooked who had corrected me with the words "This is called a bottle".

Somehow I liked this simple optics.
A deep blue. Discreet but still unmistakable.

All right, I figured... One more try still.

Immediately after the first spray I was surrounded by a hitherto unknown feeling. I didn't even know what to think at first, but then I tried to concentrate and took a scent that I had never perceived before.

This freshness was simply overwhelming. The perfume had a noble and elegant fragrance. After a while I had the feeling to hear something woody as well. Even 8 hours later the fragrance was still present.

Never before had I been enthusiastic about anything like it. Until now.

Something had changed in my life that day. My interest in fragrances was aroused.

Today I look at my collection and have to smile every time I look in the direction of the perfume that started it all.

The classic

Good starter fragrance without special notes, which is why special 'Attraction'/Sillage is rather not its strength. Unfortunately a bit overused fragrance, but in my opinion not on Sauvage level.

one on "stinking rich"

Bleu de Chanel was my first real aquatic fragrance in my collection and has been in it for a long time. The first seconds after spraying, the citrus-like freshness of the bergamot is immediately absorbed, but at least in EdP it quickly subsides and gives way to a deeper "blue" aquatic & harmonious course. Bleu de Chanel is for me an extremely elegant "workhorse" fragrance, just the right one if you've dressed up and come along in a shirt or suit, be it for work, business appointments or job interviews. Whenever I wear Bleu de Chanel I get a touch of superiority - you just smell like you're in the upperclass, stinking rich and just one level higher than all the others. This description may sound a bit harsh and narcissistic, but the fragrance does not convey these values at all. I haven't met a human being yet that wasn't enchanted by this scent (no matter if man or woman) and a lot of people ask for it, because it is a relatively unique scent DNA, for the fact that Bleu de Chanel has been around for a long time.

At Bleu de Chanel even a non perfume connoisseur will notice that this is a high-quality fragrance, it simply radiates elegance, nobility and seriousness. I'd rather wear the EdP than the EdT. The shelf life is better and it generally appears calmer and more balanced. The EdT projects more and is brighter & fresher, but does not last that long. The EdP, on the other hand, is darker, heavier & richer, has more depth and slumbers calmly & unobtrusively on the skin but still recognizable & perceptible.

Some use Bleu de Chanel also as a normal casual scent, but here I have to say that it would simply be too elegant for me. The EdT might go through but the EdP is definitely wrong for me in this respect. I wouldn't hold it against anyone because it still smells incredibly good, but for my taste there are much more suitable scents for casual wear.

Thanks to the deeper & somewhat dark aquatic note, Bleu de Chanel can also be worn perfectly in the evening or at night for going out or business lunches.
Herewith one plays very safe despite the uniqueness and there is probably no human being who would frown at this smell.
In any case, remain in my collection.

The smell of the green note

For me, this fragrance embodies class, elegance and simply superiority.
And above all it smells greenish for me more than blue (as the name says)
In the beginning you get this wall of citrus fruits thrown into your face. But the more these notes are laid down, the more the true character comes to light. A green strong impressive aura that gives the wearer an immediate presence in the room. You just smell "like a million bucks." And this all year round, because the fragrance is simply so versatile. It is really a timeless classic fragrance and I definitely prefer the Edp to the Edt.
A small drawback is the shelf life. He doesn't last very long, rather average. However, it projects barely half the life quite strongly which makes the whole thing pretty good again. All in all, you don't do anything wrong with the scent. Very successful

A fragrance devoutly to be desired !

Chanel's Bleu de Chanel is one of the finest fragrances ever created: truly an inspired scent. It's refreshing, exciting, invigorating, and assuring ~ I say assuring because you know that what you're wearing has earned its right to be at the top of the perfume mountain. Indeed, I cannot praise Bleu de Chanel too highly. Every time I wear it, it gifts me with such a great sensation: a feeling that this is the first time I've worn it.
The experience of the initial impact, the dry-down and the final long-lasting settling comprise a sensuous delight. Very very few of my more than two-hundred fragrances can come close to BdC. Highly recommended for the confident man.

The perfume just smells fabulous. My wife loves it, my mother and my father.

Great perfume with a long and strong fragrance. The bottle looks beautiful and noble on my table as Nr 1 Parfum.

The smell of the perfume is, in my opinion, only good!!!

Love on the 2nd Riecher

While searching for a new adequate fragrance I came across Bleu de Chanel through several online researches. Since I was rather in the Boss range on the way, Chanel is absolute new ground.
So I set off for the perfume of my choice. I headed purposefully for Bleu. After the first sprayer came the great disillusionment. Wtf ! Why is there such a hype about it? I didn't like it at all, not even after five minutes. Disappointed, I returned home. For some reason, I took the test strip with me. After a while I smelled it again. Suddenly an absolute pleasure came into my nose. An indescribable presence, dominance without it appearing arrogant. I find bleu gives a piece of aloofness. I didn't know that from any scent before. The shelf life is quite high. An absolute recommendation to buy. A fragrance for every occasion.

An altogether solid gift with which one does not do anything wrong.

Admittedly ... Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum is not a shelf life monster, not a sillage monster and by no means spectacular, but it is a fragrance that always works, with which you don't do anything wrong, be it a blind purchase for yourself or the desire to give something away.

The fragrance begins very fresh, very citric. The Sicilian lemon is something that can hardly be smelled here. As one of the previous speakers said, after about two hours, the lemon is pushed into the background and woody notes come to the fore. However, the Sillage is no longer particularly strong. The shelf life is average. There are perfumes that last much longer.

In the end, we are dealing here with a fragrance that can always be worn, in any season, in any situation. It is the scent that you take to avoid risking anything in certain situations, to avoid being aroused.

My very best scent!

Christmas - I've wanted this perfume for a long time, but somehow I never managed to buy it, although I just bought another fragrance in this price range that I recently discovered. Now today I have discovered under the Christmas tree such a wrapping with wrapping paper with my name, which reminded me very much of BdC:)... Since I had only considered the EdT, which is more citric, I unpacked it and I get the EdP. Overjoyed.

This is the perfect scent for work, as well as for special occasions, just as well it harmonizes if you are dressed neatly.
Smells elegant, fresh in any case, citric with a light but perfectly balanced woody note.
Right now on Christmas Eve, it fits in perfectly.
This is not a heavy scent that just bangs like that, but more reserved, noble.
The shelf life is quite good, very good in the environment.
The bottle is just as simple as the fragrance, but something special.
Recommended for really every age group!
With the price everyone must decide, have the 50ml variant of the EdP for approx. 70€...I recommend however with a price comparison times to look over, the prices á 50ml vary nevertheless much:)
The difference between EdT, EdP and P:
I'd recommend the EdP: On the one hand because it lasts much longer, on the other hand because depending on the seller the price increase is not high.
The Extrait de Parfum smells like EdP. Lasts minimally longer, but is it worth the price?
Conclusion: An excellent fragrance, for all seasons, fresh and non-intrusive, for all ages and occasions.

Fresh, elegant with an inspiring dynamic for more!

Bleu de Chanel, a modern, citric, fresh scent with a certain twist. An elegant fragrance that, like blue, strives for harmony and consistency, radiating reliability and balance.

For me it is very, versatile, i.e., it always fits, both in the office, in the evening, in summer or winter, a certain minimum of elegance presupposed. To the coach or the "rocker look" m.M. probably inappropriate.

Much compare it to the Dior Sauvage EdT. Similar, but still completely different. Both begin citrically, fresh, while the Chanel m.M.n. appears more fruity-sweet thanks to the mandarin.

The Dior, on the other hand, begins with a beautiful hint of bergamot and then changes into a spicier and "wilder" fragrance.

Conclusion:
Bleu de Chanell: elegant with an inspiring dynamic after more.
Dior Sauvage: elegant and wildly glowing, an always

Recently in the Ruhrpott.... Part 3

Tach!

"Ah Mr. Spangler How are you?"

Allet chic in crotch master. I was on Weech at the Bauhaus, do I need another spahnplatte, white one? I bought a computer and wanted to build a desk. I just jumped in to my favorite sniff nose I thought to myself so.

"Very kind of you to drop by."

Hömma, here the things, oh sach ma as she is called..here datt Melanie..datt is the Schwippschwägerin vonner Iris, who told me about her part of Chantal. So with a dark flakong... it's always in advertising. Kennse?

"You mean Chanel? Bleu de Chanel?"

I don't know, I don't know them. But that's supposed to be fresher too.

"Bleu de Chanel!"

Can't say anything to my colleague. Anyway, she said it was supposed to be dark blue.

"Bleu de Chanel!"

Samma sport, we're about to hang in the shaft, hassu Tourette? Watt isn with the Chanel and why is the stupid?

"What do you mean?"

Yeah, kid, I'm talking to a wolf here and telling you what I want and all I hear is stupid Chanel of you. Watt made it? Did she take your dandruff away, or watt?

"Oh, no, they misunderstand me. That's the name of the perfume."

But I'll take your arm Master, that means stupid? Well then that's from Chanel and not from Sau..verstehse?Muahhaa...verstehse?

"Uh, yeah. Let's go to the wall back here. It says Chanel"

Boy... Stupid pig... I can't get over it. Hmma. Imagine... Somebody comes up and says you smell good and asks watt datt is... Stupid sow... there's one right there. Hömma, if I datt to Erwin sach, that paves me one directly and shows me where the frog has the curls.

"There he is. Look, it's written BLEU DE CHANEL, that's French and means something like blue."

Datt is an imaginative master. But it's okay. My Mattka at home, datt is also such a Schnübbelsken. She'll freak out if I talk to her in French. You want to cuddle up, don't you? She's going for it all.

"What's it supposed to be? The eau de toilette? Or the perfume? Or the eau de parfum?"

Mannequins? In a moment, give Kasalla. That's blue halt!

"They're all blue."
Yes how? Oh, come on, let's... I'll open up and take the Ohhhhh de Parföng.

"In principle, they don't differ much."

Yes, I know, Horst bought the same car as me, also an Oppel...exactly the same but with a different steering wheel. Sach ma watt is then here in the perfume?

"Citric fruits, a hint of vanilla and New Caledonian sandalwood"

What? Samma Club, you slept on Superman tonight, didn't you? Neukaomo...watt?

"Sandalwood from New Caledonia, an island in the South Pacific"

So driftwood? Hmma, I don't have to go to Bauhaus anymore. I'm serious. I'm spraying it on the device
"And? It's nice and fresh, isn't it? In principle, an evergreen. Fits anywhere."

Jau can watt..and watt still happens there like that? You were babbling about a scent like that the other day. How isn datt here?

"Not so much, this one, apart from the citric freshness, later becomes slightly woody and very slightly sweet. The fragrance opens directly, so to speak. A little spicy, he's still "

Huh? Nothing coming? Bite wenich,or?

"It's like your computer, when it's up, they open all the windows."

Because bad air is mine? Ne Hömma, my darling airs there already regularly, otherwise datt Föttken has also Kirmes, ne, except datt begins at the whisper outside.

"No, that's not what I mean. The performance is good. For this you need good hardware"

Watt?Porno?
"Hardware, not hardcore Mr. Spangler. Lots of horsepower. Like the Oppel.

Sach datt doch gleich du Hugo. Yes, it's quite good, sometimes more discreet and it holds too? Or is that Killefitt?

"No that has quite a long performance"

I think I'll take that home with me, I can set up the table there. I open a Pillsken and Lutzi goes. This is gonna be a pain in the ass. Is it also possible to roll with it?

"As I said, an evergreen, that's quite possible. You can wear it at work, in your free time and when going out"

Jo chief, comma with me at... where bite to stay? Dare you......smell me with your prong.....and I can wear, or?

"Absolutely, it suits you perfectly"

Yeah then. All rodscha in Cambodia. Stupid pig..Hihi..oh hömma..gibbet datt also for women? So stupid goose?Muhhahaa...I've got a hole in my belly boy. I'm so crevative, I'm biting off socks.

"As always, it was a pleasure."

You're always worth your while.

Have I been converted? Perhaps...

...yes, dear ones. My first comment on this platform was about Layton from PDM. A without doubt very nischiger smell...

All in all, I have to say that it was fragrances like frankincense, myrrh, tobacco, rum, leather and oud that drove me crazy about perfume. The clear, transparent presentation of individual fragrances and the bottle design convinced me.

Then I ordered an incredible number of samples and fillings of the great niche fragrances with the components mentioned.
I have felt every second weekend in the Oberpollinger stood and counted, where I like what can pay and buy to be able to put together a small but fine collection.

But what happened...
...I didn't get any compliments, even worse, many fragrances (Layton, Herod, Pegasus, Black Afgano, Absinthe, Terroni, Tobacco Oud Intense, Bleu Turquoise, Rahaba, Tuscan Leather, Aventus, Unum, Rudis) became either after a few hours simply too one-dimensional or after several days simply tired of me and "exhausting"...

I had to keep looking.

Gave me (unintentionally) into the section of the so-called designers...
"But well..." I figured, "...a good scent, is a good scent, no matter who created it...".

I quickly came across Bleu de Chanel.
The first splash (now I only test on my own skin): warm, citric, sour, tangerine, fresh, well-groomed.
It may be due to the season, or the small disappointment of the niche fragrances, but I was thrilled.
After 2 hours the Sillage loses much of its suction power and the mandarin is "coated" with a light-coloured wood. Meanwhile I like the "Saubermann/Barbrier" fragrances more and more and I wonder what I should wear in winter...

Despite everything, the well-kept, shower gel vibe remains, which many here criticize as boring.
But I see in him a kind of salvation.
No more eccentricity and played individuality, towards the simply "portable".

The bottle design pleases, note 2-, the magenitic lid is a great gimmick that flatters price.

In spite of all the laughter, I always have to carry a bottle with me to spray every three hours after. Because in one point the scent fails (where I still see niche scents in front)...the performance.

I have only recently got to know this fragrance, I was and am very positively surprised and will of course immediately include Bleu in my collection, for warm summer days just the right fragrance. I prefer to wear him to work. By the way, he's a compliment - guarantor.

A good solid scent

Bleu de Chanel parfum is a good versatile scent for the work place or casual occasions. I think you would find it hard to offend anyone when wearing this. A very clean and professional scent. In my opinion this may be the ideal scent for an interview. I think It would also make a good date scent as you may get compliments. Projection / scent trail is decent for first couple of hours. You can smell the fragrance on clothes a good few hours after applying. The bottle is very classy and has an elegance about it.

Decent Longevity. Overall 8/10

Modern & Sophisticated...

So, I tried the Eau de Parfum version before trying the Eau de Toilette, but I have since tried both side by side. My impression of this one is that it is definitely "woodier". It starts off with grapefruit and incense, much like the Eau de Toilette, however I would say that this one starts off where the Eau de Toilette heart and dry-down occur. So it has less of the bright, citrus top-notes and more of the woodier, mossier notes. I also detect vetiver and amber. There is less of the pink pepper, sparkling grapefruit opening of the Eau de Toilette. This is why when I think of this I think I would use it for more formal events.

Overall, with this Eau de Parfum I think of this as the "night" version of Bleu de Chanel. It strikes me as something more formal, compared to the casual, more versatile, laid-back nature of the Eau de Toilette. This is the version I would choose between the two, just based on my initial experience. But each version has it's merits. I think this would be great for any formal event which requires a man to wear a suit, or dress code. Perfect on a date, and for a man with wealth and experience. Extremely good effort by Chanel with this one.

Blue Perfume or Blue Toilette

Here i want to restate my opinion about Blue Chanel which i mentioned before about Toilette one.
I had this EDT and i love it. The scent was great and both longevity and Projection were acceptable for a EDT. I recently bought EDP one which is reformulated. Although I think it was not as good as EDT one, i like it. The longevity has been improved, although the projection is less. I think the EDT is cooler and EDP is sweeter. It is wearable for all seasons. I think it is practical for any occasion.

Tragic in stereo

The EDP version of Bleu de Chanel opens with citrus-green notes, a bold metallic-woody-spicy synthetic accord (norlimbanol and fellows) which shall recreate a sort of “woody-spicy” base. Pungent whiffs of calone and menthol notes blend with citrus to evoke the finest Walmart deodorant. The drydown goes better, it becomes all more herbal, mossy and dry (like in any aromatic woody fougère), then gently evolving on softer and cozier synthetic woods. All the intolerable cheapness and dullness of possibly one of the worst Chanel’s ever made is masterfully treasured here as well, just in a more powerful Dolby Surround for our noses’ delight. Disgracefully long-lasting persistence.

4/10
