Baby Blue Jeans (1995)
by Versace

A very cheery, bright and pleasant take on the fougere genre. If you take out the strong powdery effect, you'll find that BBJ's lovely and quite heavy lavender accord isn't completely dissimilar from ancient classics like Jicky. With a touch of civet and a tad more aromatics, this could, frankly, have been released in the early part of the last century. Very nice but simply too powdery for a grown man to wear, IMO.

Very lemony scent that has a nice herbal touch to it. The opening can be a little sharp, but the dry-down is fantastic and a little similar to that of Eau Sauvage. Has great longevity and sillage. And very affordable to boot. Has a sort of "Classic" feel to it.

This is a nice one and can be bought for cheap nowadays which is great since this is a quality fragrance. I do find it to be sophisticated and a bit mysterious despite what others may think. It is lovely stuff and lasts a while. I shall be buying a bottle.

This is certainly not the best fragrance I have ever smelled. I cannot imagine this scent as someone’s signature scent, except… ummmm… well, except in the case of necessity that Mickey Mouse has to have a signature scent. It is puerile (which doesn’t surprise us); it is pretty powdery (especially at the beginning), it is not masculine at all, but (before you think that the thumb up above is a mistake) it is extremely pleasant. I have never thought that I could say that I love SOMETHING, whose name is Baby Blue Jeans, but I am saying it right now.
Please, imagine this scene… You are alone at the bar. A very hot chick is sitting just next to you. After a quick flirt, she says to you:” Hallo, my name is Tasha… You know what? You look like a real macho man… and, beside that, you smell really nice… Tell me, what are you wearing?” And then you say:” Well, I am wearing… Baby Blue Jeans.” She would be exceptionally impressed, wouldn’t she? So, if you decide to wear this scent you have to learn to lie perfectly.
If you have a will to use BBJ you also have to prepare yourself to be an actor of the following situation…
She:”Hey, you smell exactly like my little nephew.”
You:” How’s that? I mean, your nephew is just a kid.”
She: “Yes, that’s right… so?”
BBJ is based on the quite interesting initial idea. It is a very well composed, informal scent and it would go along just terrific with your favorite Hawaiian shirt. In the long run, if you don’t like it, just don’t forget - you can always give a bottle to someone’s little nephew.

Mandarin? Lime? If basil was added instead of rosemary this would've smelled exactly like Nouveau Bowery or Lime, Basil & Mandarin by Jo Malone. Nice casual fragrance.

A great fragrance. Everything about it is great, starts off great, with a baby powder sort of effect and a fantastic long and varied drydown that goes through many stages. Ask me and I would recommend it to anyone. Without a doubt, it can work for teenagers as well as older men and everyone in between.

It will always have a place on my shelf - right there with the all the "Jeans" collection.

5 stars. Fabulous.
