Baby Blue Jeans (1995)
by Versace

Starts off as a slightly brighter version of Carrera Black -- same elements.. citrus (more lime), a little dark, powdery. The lemon opening is quite enjoyable.. but then it takes a turn for boredom in the mid notes. Strangely, the base comes back, intriguing me, with an unmentioned cinnamon note, woods, vanilla and musk; the result is somehow very smokey, sweet, and slightly creamy.

One of the few fragrances that takes me from like, to hate, to love. Three specific sets of notes, all doing something different. Like 3 fragrances in one! The base notes are very refined, which makes it feel powdery. It also smells a little powdery in the base, but not nearly as much as in the opening. The musk in the base notes comes out watery to my nose, which I actually enjoy.

Overall: IMO.. Baby Blue Jeans is an old school citrus fragrance. It may definitley feel dated to some, but others will love this. It projects nicely for the first 4 hours, then sits closer to the skin. The base notes can stay on my skin for 10 hours.

Limes and Cedarwood and baby powder .Good training wheels for the excellent Eau Sauvage by Dior or Blenheim Bouquet by Penhaligons.Girls (or guys)who like BBW Coconut,Lime,Verbena or Jo Malone Lime Basil Mandarin may also enjoy this .

I'm not a big fan of powder-y scents and against my better judgement, I purchased BBJ knowing full-well what I was getting myself into. For $8.99 USD at my local Ross, I felt like even if I didnt like it, I got a good deal. Everyone is spot on with the description on this one. Baby powder + Lime + Musk & Vanilla. There's not much change throughout the duration, stays a pretty consistant baby powder smell.

This is a very soft citrus and musk creation. It is understated, and not gender specific, but it does have a youthful air. It mellows down to a strikingly lovely citrus and wood fusion in the dry down.
I do not understand the negative reviews of this unassuming beauty.

All I can smell on this are Lemonade and Johnson«s baby powder! And believe me: it works! Very simple and refreshing. Good choice for casual use on summer. Good thing it came on 50ml though. More than that could make it lasts for a loong time, because no one like to smell like baby powder forever...

Recomended. But not as your main summer fragrance. Good to keep it in your wardrobe.

It is unbearably owerpowering&spicy and the scent doesn't change at all.
