Blu Notte pour Homme (2004)
by Bulgari

I don't get what all the dissapproving reviews are about. I smelled this fragrance yesterday and of all the fragrances I tried, this one stood out the most. I find it very pleasant as well as versatile. I could wear this to the office, a romantic dinner or and even to something more formal. I found this fragrance soft, smooth, and enticing. I understand that its powdery, but if I know anything about what women find attractive in a cologne, its something that isn't too pungent or sharp but instantly gratifying. The more complex fragrances don't tend to score well with the ladies as often. Honestly, I could understand an older man not being interested in this scent, but I would definitely recommend that younger guys from the age of 20-30 at least test it out (especially if you like Burberry Brit).

This is what I would call a synthetic oriental. Soapy and spicy notes join forces to make this very undesirable.

This is easy to review: liquid baby powder, amber, and some kind of synthetic sweetener. I've worn it several times now and we just can't come to terms. Admittedly it's more of a formal (evening wear) fragrance. I wouldn't wear this in any other environment. Not even formal meetings. It's kind of goofy and I'd expect anyone within range to smell it and think, hmm, that's odd... who's wearing BABY POWDER? Maybe not exactly the impression you want to make when you walk in a room.

to me it smells very much like B*Men....or its just me????

Thumbs up anyways!!!!

I don't get the chocolate, but I do get the plastic-y soap as well. There's something reassuring about its powdery blandness that makes me want to give this to my dad or some other paternal figure.

Plastic not-so-fantastic gingery, powdery, soapy fresh scent PLUS a layer of chocolate somewhere in the background. Not very good, but better than BLV, because this is more complex.
