Here goes: since we had a Red Blind Sniff in January, I thought it would be a good idea to sniff the Blues for a sense of balance. While settling on the name we -- darkdreams and I -- thought about Shades of Blue (already taken as a personal name, Hi Shades!), One Way Ticket to the Blues (Neil Sedaka way, no less), Out of the Blue, etc. and finally thought about Those Moody Blues.
If only you knew how many times I have heard "I can't stand anything coming in blue boxes/bottles or light blue in color or with the name having to do with the color Blue" while speaking about fragrances! While I can understand these people's blues -- TM Angel, Cacharel LouLou, D&G Light Blue and Coty Adidas of all stripes are certainly NOT for everybody -- we can all pitch in and come up with an alternative list of very nice fragrances while you think of the color blue -- sunny March skies and sea waves, stormy nights and quiet twilights, huge corporation logos and melancholy, precious gems and modest forget-me-nots, everything from the Blue Bird to the Blue Beard. These fragrances would express a wide range of olfactory emotions, belong to different fragrance categories and -- more importantly -- bear the imprint of your own persona. Out of a long long list of Blue Fragrances, we have selected three, and they can be full blooded representation of the genre, like in "blue blood". Please sniff Those Moody three and post your impressions.
Our sniffers are: Aiona, hilaryjane (UK) and Thalia.
Twolf is hosting and darkdreams is co-hosting.
Everybody can participate by posting your questions/thoughts here or using the PM function.
The goal is to figure out the identity of the scents that our Sniffers have received, right now they are labeled as A, B and C. It is also to find new fragrance likes and make us Basenoters learn more about each other.
Thank you!
