I don't want to go into too much detail. Here you have to look at the whole = the composition.

This fragrance opened up a new era for my perfume world. The journey began with One Million, but the path was revolutionized and paved by Bleu de Chanel.

It was not for nothing that the fragrance was in the hype for years, because the scent reflects the character of an Alpha Man, Christian Grey, James Bond and Co.

The fragrance is business & arrogance, it is vanity & fresh, self-confident and without rough edges.

(Sidefact): Thanks to the grapefruit note, it actually contributes to a man's self-confidence.

This fragrance has brought me the most compliments and is true/is the reflection of the soul of an A-man.

Meanwhile, people are so caught up in the niche world (not meant negatively) that they have completely forgotten the trailblazer.

Chanel created a legend in 2010, if you smelled it today (and understood the concept of this fragrance 100%), you would never claim that it was a designer, but had niche potential through and through.

No matter what and how deeply you have immersed yourself in the niche world, ALL roads lead to Bleu, it's time to buy it again.

Let's start with the bottle simple, black discreet, yet elegant as with Bleu de Chanel, but you know that from Prada no different? The fragrance opens with a light, somewhat creamy bergamot and lets the angelica blossoms fill a large cloud of fragrance. In the drydown, the powdery/creamy note comes more and more to the fore, which shows presence through a soft patchouli and some strong coumarin. The base that you smell at the beginning rather in the background, which at the same time provides the warmth that radiates the fragrance is the warm amber note on which the fragrance is based and what it stands for, namely: warmth, elegance and something mystical. A man in a suit at an event is rather reserved and mysterious and at the same time attractive and self-confident, but lives by the motto "Less is more". For me, a well done fragrance that has found good combinations to the amber. Prada is just the powdery / soap master. Hats off - price performance is right.

If you know how to wear the, then the magic of this fragrance really comes into its own, because notes like rum in combination with tobacco and leather can quickly smell someone after drunk "homeless" (in my opinion). But if you know how to wear the, I say as an example (is definitely a fragrance for the evening) a confident man in a black suit or black shirt on a date or gala. I would not wear the fragrance to the gym with in sweatpants. A very nice fragrance that gives a strong punch at the beginning with tobacco and rum, then a short time later provides something for warmth and "well-being" (similar effect as Spicebomb Extreme) and then in the drydown again convinced with a subtle guaiac wood note and a present tonka bean. Definitely recommendable!

Very nice fresh #aquatischer fragrance with some spice, because there is definitely with one or the other niche lovers nose the incense note noticeable. I find the fragrance very elegant, but could imagine the me also as #Allrounder well. Certain YouTuber like a Jeremy, for example, have set expectations very high when I smelled it, I thought to myself, "Well, I imagined the fragrance a little different, a little more #extravagant, but it's already good". The only thing that bothers me a bit and where I can not agree with Jeremy's statement, is the durability. The durability plays a very big role for me, because what is the point of having a very good fragrance, a fragrance #DNA 10/10, which in the end you perceive only briefly and must spray again and again during the day. Now you could argue , "Why do you have such high expectations for an aquatic fragrance". I have very high expectations through and through as the #Bvlgari Aqva also manages to build up aquatic fragrances with 100% performance very well, but so what. Overall, this is a really good scent, just a little more longevity would be perfect. The holds now also not 2 minutes and that's it, because this is complaining at the highest level
