Thread Starter 
Going to Nordstroms to make another purchase tomorrow, and im pretty sure it will come down to either Bleu de Chanel or Chanel Allure Homme Sport. Can you guys help me out and tell me which one wins in the following categories:

1)Overall Scent/Smell (not originality or anything fancy. just overall, which one do you think the general public/women would find more attractive
2)Projection
3)Longeivty
4)Sophistication
5)Versatility.


Thanks for the help guys.

1 - They both will appeal to women. AHS a bit more youthful
2 - AHS
3 - They both last all day on me. AHS has a greater presence, though
4 - Bleu
5 - Bleu

Looking at your top 5, either one would be a good addition.

Exactly what he said. Bleu doesnt last anywhere near the time AHS does but is more versatile by a little bit.

Lets also not forget Bleu is on its way to being very very very commmon amoung the mainstream population.

I don't think you'd go wrong with either of the two, but I would give Bleu the edge in all of the above.

That is the best method, but I prefer Allure Homme Sport. Perhaps consider Platinum Egoiste as well, a similar scent in some ways.

but i do have the feeling that im going to go with bleu. idk. there was just something about it. first of all, a couple of months ago when this was JUST released, like the day of, i didnt think about it to much because i dont usually like fragrance that have to do with BLUE because im not too much of an aquatic, fresh, citrus, watever u call it fan. but for some reason, i kept reaching for the scent strip out of my piles of scent strips and i kept smelling it. i couldnt stop. it was very appealing to me. then now a couple weeks ago when i was at nordstroms smelling fragrance with my friend, for some reason bleu kept drawing me back in and i kept smelling it. it was just appealing to me.
