Bleu de Chanel by Chanel - New fragrance

[rynegne]

I love Bleu, very unique scent on my skin. You must test outside of paper strips and bottle sniffing. This frag lasts forever on my skin too and has a very unique dry-down for an aquatic.

[Style]

Bleu de Chanel is one of my guilty pleasures. It was love at first sniff.

It doesn't smell very manly to me as it's very fruity/citrusy, but I still love to wear it. I've gotten complements with it so it's a keeper.

I can definitely smell the pink pepper on the dry down. It also projects really well and has good longevity.

I like Bleu de Chanel -- it is fresh, inoffensive, and easy to wear.

[Redneck Perfumisto]

Nice to see some Bleu lovers coming out of the woodworks!

Please try Egoiste, Antaeus (older and more challenging to wear) and my fave mainstream Chanel, Allure homme.

I don't care much for Bleu de chanel...it has too many of the sporty citrus-ginger components in it.

Do a test: spray Bleu and Dior Homme Sport side by side on skin and the generic citrus-spice combo will glaringly stare back from Bleu at you.

I absolutely love bleu de chanel and I absolutely loath Dior Homme Sport.

Finally bought a bottle- its well made seamless and high quality fragrance.
Not unique? Yes, it's not. Smells cheap? No, it's not.
I think it's one of those scents which helps you forget about what are you wearing and concentrate on what are you doing

[DuNezDeBuzier]

Never tried it. I've got nothing against divisive scents, but when I read 'boring' I tune out. Conversely, if I read 'too edgy, smells like b.o.' yada yada, that tends to pique my interest.

In addition to what others have said I'd suggest Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport (damn the name confusion, someone should seriously get kicked in the nutz for this! jk never kick anyone in the nutz, mkay?) if you're interested in checking out a good citrus/sweet hay scent.

I bought a bottle last week, absolutely love it and so do the people around me. Whether it is generic or not, who cares.

I adore the shower gel. It's actually better than the fragrance itself for me!

How do people with dry skin find this fragrance for longevity? Allure sport lasts a good 8 hours on my skin so wondering if this performs similarly.

I don't get huge longevity on my skin. Maybe 4-6 hours. On certain clothing it lasts for days though!

Same here. It lasted until the evening when I wore it last Friday (4 sprays -- 2 chests, 1 on the front of neck, 1 on the nape/back area).

I love the scent. Just wish that I could get my hands on the refillable travel set...

Actually, how do you refill it? I mean, does it actually come apart?

[chocolateguy]

sorry but I think this bleu, just like the iphone5, nothing new or special, pricy, and people buy like crazy.

[Oslo-Fjord]

A great scent!

[rbaker]

A bit of a disappointment on me.

I have this. You just screw on the refill bottle. It comes with 2 spare 20ml bottles.

[Izzie]

I absolutely love bleu de chanel and I absolutely loath Dior Homme Sport.

You and me both. Dior Homme Sport is absolutely horrendous to me. Ick!

[Flatbush Ave]

Nevermind

[jhericurls]

Late to the party but only mange to try it today. And don't like it, reminds me of Dior Homme Sport. Its also got the lemon cleaner vibe to it. Almost blind bought this, glad I didn't.

[SportsFan]

I started to say "Holy mother of all thread revivals!!!".....but apparently, this one has a bit of the Energizer bunny in it, and just keeps going, and going.....

[Triceptive]

For some reason I can't stand the scent and I am an idiot who did a blind buy. As much as I hate it, this fragrance gets me the most compliments. Go figure.

It's interesting to go back and read through this old thread!

I wore BdC as my SOTD, and I got nothing but compliments! I think it's a great fragrance!
