Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette (2010)
by Chanel

Smells to me like the fragrance equivalent of a blue plaid flannel shirt.

Classy, sophisticated, pleasantly understated with good depth. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this, but today I walked outside briefly in very light rain and it caused the scent to come to life in a marvelous way. (I applied 4 sprays 8 hours earlier) This is also my go-to golfing frag.

Admittedly, there are worse things in this world than Bleu de Chanel, but even in 2010, it seemed more than a little uninspiring. An inoffensive, middle-of-the-road release that does nothing in particular especially well.

to me, this is the quasi-aquatic of the Allure line...has that overall vibe and semi- chemical sharp/freshness of everything I've smelled in the Allure line up...very safe...very pleasant...very fresh...absolutely inoffensive and perfect for the office...actually, one of the few scents that someone at the office actually complimented me on...more like a giant accord that just slowly hangs around...i don't find much of a change from the beginning to end..catch bits and pieces of spice and citrus in an enclosure similar to Creed's aquatics...that same fresh ozony feel...a little peppermint from time to time...nice to have around when you want to put something on but want to be nonchalant about it...

Generic, boring, safe. Fine if you're a teenager, supposing you grow out of it.
