Powdery balsam with citrus topnotes. It's stunning in its EdT form but smells like a Glade candle when you get down to it. And old-school smelling perfume.

This is a very simple composition. Bright, yet sweet hesperidics on top, supported by light white flowers and precious woods, plus a touch of moss in the drydown to provide an earthy countermelody. In its sheer transparency and clean structure Etiquette Bleu looks forward nearly a century to modern niche perfumery trends. I imagine that in its day the combination of moss and typical eau de Cologne elements was revolutionary, but it doesn't excite me in a contemporary context.

Limited in sillage and projection and with a lifespan of about two hours, Etiquette Bleu makes a nice hot weather office scent, though I suspect it’s most important now for its role in fragrance history.

The balsam predominates, and I don't find it that appealing. I also found the longevity to be terrible.

A warm citrusy-geranium scent, wears off nicely, medium longevity. Somewhat old scent, but would make for a lovely air freshener.
