Nitro Blue by Dumont

Hello, I’m absolutely obsessed with this perfume; it’s simply incredible. Since I tried it, it smells of almond with a floral touch – it’s super charming and masculine. I’m guaranteed compliments because both men and women at work have commented on it. It smells delicious 😋

It’s a delicious aroma 😋, nothing cloying and easy to wear in any climate or place. Although I don’t use it in hot or crowded places (unless there isn’t much ventilation), even though it’s declared for men, I see it as unisex with very open gourmand tones. It’s a beast in performance with over 10 hours of longevity. A floral opening with citrus notes that then transitions into gourmand (caramel and talc) 💯% recommended 🕉️🕉️🕉️

The presentation is misleading because it’s not a blue fragrance; rather, it leans towards sweet spice (cinnamon, praline, woods) with white floral (orange blossom). It has mixed performance: good longevity but poor projection (it radiates within a personal bubble), which I think makes it more usable and versatile than it appears (?). Given its notes, it doesn’t flood the room or bother others; I’ve even used it at the gym at night and it works very well.

Rich perfume, what good it is and the scent is delicious, a combination of sweet freshness. With this on, you won’t fail; it’s easy to wear on any occasion. It’s one of those perfumes where if you don’t know what to wear and don’t want to stand around for half an hour thinking, this is it. I don’t understand why its rating is so low here, but well, every nose is a world; I also don’t understand why it isn’t talked about much, in fact, partly that’s better so it doesn’t become mass-produced and you won’t smell like everyone else.

I’m not an expert in perfumery, it cost me 570 Mexican pesos. I bought it based on what people said about it, but when I smelled it on my skin, I felt a sweet metallic scent, like some gummies and a bit of praline. It lasts 4-5 hours without projecting almost anything after an hour and a half with 10 sprays. I’m neither dissatisfied nor delighted.

Well, let’s start with the highlights: it’s a fragrance where the cinnamon note is present from start to finish. The praline along with the sweet notes give it a chocolatey vibe; it smells good and fulfilling, although my nose doesn’t detect any evolution, so I consider it linear. Its woody notes, cardamom, and Brazilian Rosewood are very subtle, just to add maturity and character without it being just another sweet scent. I recommend it as a signature for cold and rainy climates, never for hot weather; if you use it in the heat (I did), you will feel suffocated and suffocate others. Its longevity is good, between 6 and 8 hours on skin, lasting days on clothes; its projection is over 2 metres for the first 3 hours, afterwards it becomes more personal without exceeding a metre. I recommend it if you want a sweet, fulfilling, and economical perfume to avoid using the best jewels in your collection.

The blue bottle is a gamble! If you ask me, it would suit a light brown bottle much better, like melted caramel, because the scent goes totally that way. Sweet, caramelised, super pleasant, with some soft spices that round it off. To me, more than what many comment, it reminds me of a mix between Stronger With You and Liquid Brun. That’s my perception, of course, but I thought it important to mention it in case anyone else notices that vibe.

If you’re reading this, run and try it or buy it before it sells out. I don’t know why it isn’t mentioned more, but I loved it. That day I tried famous and expensive Arab scents, but this one surprised me more. It lasted until after my shower and captivated me. It doesn’t smell blue despite its name. It’s not for summer! But in autumn, I see it as a 100% signature scent.

Pegasus in this very bottle: excellent, versatile, lasts 7-8 hours, trail 7/10.

I’m not giving a pro review, just my experience. I got it for $17 in a clearance sale. At first, it smells like Colgate Tandy paste, half mint, fresh and sweet, very shocking at the start. As it dries, everything changes: the mint disappears and a touch of edible chocolate emerges, I believe it’s praline, blending with woods and becoming subtle and cosy. For $17 I have no regrets, although the opening disgusts me. It projects like all the Nitros. Lasts over 8 hours. I’m not sure what occasions it’s for, but it’s not bad for outdoor night outings with a partner or friends. Indoors I think it’s potent. Longevity: 9/10, Projection: 10/10, Scent: 7.5/10. Overall 8/10. The opening is poor but I tolerate it happily for $17.

Perfect for daytime and winter, it smells delicious and refreshing at the same time. You can’t go wrong with it as it is super easy to wear at any time. If you don’t know what to wear and don’t want to spend too much time deciding, this is the solution. I don’t understand why it has such a low rating here; every nose is a world. I also don’t understand why it isn’t talked about more; in fact, it’s better this way so you don’t smell like everyone else.
