Blue Seduction for Men (2007)
by Antonio Banderas

Not bad, not great. Kinda creamy and sweet with a woodsy freshness to it. To bad it's fleeting. Similarities to Versace Eau Fraiche are pretty close. Eau Fraiche stays with you longer but is a little weaker and cleaner, not as creamy. Blue Seduction is just a touch stronger in projection and sweeter.

To me this smells like a very bad mix of Adidas Moves and Versace Eau Frasche...Its very tangy but also bitter in a bad way and honestly I dont see any females liking this stuff. I only have smelled this because my step dad has worn it and right off the bat I hadto find out what this horrible smelling cologne was because I blind buy a lot of stuff and wanted to make sure to stay away from this,lol

I shall not say that this is a complete rip off, but it would be safe to say that the 'inspiration' behind Blue Seduction's creation was/is definitely Versace Man Eau Fraiche. I have both so I can vouch for it. Versace's smells more sophisticated but I may be biased because I paid more for it!

Thumbs Up because it is cheap and you can fool yourself (and possibly a few non-basenoters) into thinking that you are wearing the premium Eau Fraiche!

Pretty good summer fragrance. It has quite a lot together with Nautica Voyager, though, more consistent, with better longevity. Nice blue-mossy fragrance for daily use. And not expensive at all. 18€ in tax-free in Spain.

Blue Seduction starts off very tangy with like a sour melon note.. yet from the beginning it has this mint that quickly works its way to the front. Once the mint takes over it incorporates the cappuccino note which actually isn't very sweet. It's like a minty cappuccino with hints of apple lingering. It's really nice once you figure out what it is that you're smelling. The mint is very noticeable and it isn't a sickening sweet mint; the way the mint is used actually makes it feel medicinal. Three hours in, it fades into a nice subtle woodsy base. Projection is a little above average throughout, as is sillage.. longevity has been 6+ hours everyday I've worn this for the past week.

It's very a soothing relaxing aquatic that stands out from many other aquatics. It did however take me a couple wearings to enjoy this, mostly because it smelled cheap and I couldn't figure out what was in there with the mint... it's clearly cappuccino though. The cappuccino note does seem to weave in and out of the fragrance, it comes and goes.

Overall we have a different take on your typical aquatic, but it's nothing really special. I get like a menthol back rub, rubber glove feeling from it.. then I also get a laying on the hammock on a nice spring day feeling. You definitely wanna try this before you buy, it does smell a little cheap.. similar structure to a DKNY or Lacoste frag. It's kind of like a mix of Cool Water Frozen and DKNY Be Delicious.

Is it worth it? The retail price on this is set lower because it's considered a drugstore fragrance. 1.7 oz retails for 30, and the 3.4 retails for 45. Is it worth these prices? If you're buying blind.. absolutely not, if you're already a fan.. no. It's a decent fragrance with a cheap feeling. I got a mini pack with this and Spirit -- both .5 oz for 7.99 @ Ross, to me that was a little overpriced. What I bought is worth about 5 bucks. But I took a risk because I figured they were mini's and it's not every day you find a less common mini pack. Spirit is a completely different fragrance of completely different structure, but Blue Seduction isn't worth more than 15-20 bucks for the bigger bottle. Ten bucks for the 1.7 is an ok deal as well.

Not ver common to be sporty and classy at the same time, but hey this is, and I love it
