Rich scent, refined and sensual, without doubt the best of the ‘blues’, but unfortunately over time and with reformulations it has lost the potency it once had.
Blue de Chanel is a fresh fragrance that people like and generates compliments. It opens with grapefruit, which although feels sharp leaves a sweet touch; this citrus is rounded with woods, Iso E Super, and amber. The incense and ginger give it a spicy note, and together with the mint and Iso E Super it gives elegance. It has been on the market for years with that ‘blue fragrance’ smell, making it versatile and characteristic of a neat, clean, formal, and modern man. Its longevity is unfortunately not extensive: on the skin it lasts 5-6 hours, but the projection is only noticeable for the first 1-2 hours. Although it’s mass-produced, it retains a certain charm and its ingredients have good quality compared to other designer scents.
Opens citrusy, very rich. Then the wood and incense rise, giving it a more serious air. The pioneer of versatile blues. It smells like shower gel, but elegant. Very versatile and elegant, I’d wear it with a shirt or suit. It’s very expensive for what it delivers, lasts little, and projects nothing.
My first review on Fragrantica is dedicated to this work of art. I used the 2018 EDT, a delightful fresh, citrusy, woody scent with excellent projection. It’s a pity that some houses, upon triumphing, reformulate and make fragrances more commercial; I’ve noticed it in many I own and buy again.
Memorable scent and quite elegant. It’s different from the rest, in a chemical way, very pleasant and clean, although it becomes repetitive. If you don’t want to complicate things, it’s very top but expensive for its performance and longevity. Good for a daytime fragrance because it delivers, but you’d need another for the evening. Good perfume 7/10.
It’s a good effort in the world of blues. Since its creation, if it hasn’t been copied to the point of nausea, it has been ‘inspired’ by many perfumers. One cannot deny that Mr Polge made a good product. Was it groundbreaking and impactful? No, but a friend said it brilliantly: ‘Bleu is like listening to ABBA. You might not be a fan, argue that it’s three repeated chords, or be baffled by its success, but if you expose yourself to it for a few minutes, you’ll end up singing in your head, tapping your foot, and realising they were good. Plus, girls like it.’ If your goal isn’t just compliments or smelling good, Bleu might fall short. If you delve into perfumery, it’s inevitable to compare it with other Chanel masculines and perhaps you’ll be confused, but I believe Bleu was never and isn’t a statement of intent. Does it fit the new millennium? Of course, it has its happy audience. Would you use it if someone gifted it to you? Yes, because it’s not bad, it’s youthful, it doesn’t bother, it works in many situations, and you’ll even enjoy it without realising because it doesn’t clash. I have the unpleasant impression that it projects and lasts just enough to question whether it’s worth the outlay. It’s very possible I’ll never buy it for myself, but I would recommend it over other blues.
I love its composition: spicy, woody, and fresh. It’s elegant and usable in any everyday situation. Only my sister and my father have praised it, saying it suits me very well. I managed to get an identical dupe with the huge price difference: less than 1/10th of the brand cost. This should be considered: although it’s delicious, it’s very expensive when there are practically identical options on the market.
Incredible, although I find the longevity to be moderate.
Bleu de Chanel, the one that started the blue fragrance trend and today remains my favourite above Sauvage, Dylan Blue, etc. It screams elegant and masculine versatility; while Sauvage is youthful, Bleu is sophisticated and has more personality. If it weren’t for this, I might be indifferent, but it has that charm that justifies its fame. I must confess that longevity is not its strong suit: although it doesn’t disappoint, for the price one would expect more. As I usually buy outside department stores and pay less, it doesn’t hurt too much, but if I paid the official price, it would hurt more that it doesn’t last long. Nevertheless, I have no regrets; it’s a good alternative that continues to lead the blue genre. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 7.5/10, Projection: 7/10. Recommended ✓
It’s the twin of Sauvage: spicy, citrusy, and woody, but here everything is softened with a floral touch. It smells clean, it’s a classic that smells rich and performs well. It has no drawbacks except that it’s very well known.
The first time I smelled it, I loved it; I tried the EDP and Parfum, but I kept this for summer. The opening is impressive: citrus, pink pepper, and mint. As it dries, the citrus fades and sandalwood becomes more noticeable. Very good scent and dry-down, but longevity fails. I know it’s an EDT and doesn’t last like the Parfum, but I expected more from Chanel. I don’t know if it’s my skin or olfactory fatigue, but after three hours, it only smells close to the skin. If you like the line and want something clean and blue, I recommend it, but the longevity surprised me.
Excellent perfume for men, suitable for dressing up, sport, and formal occasions. Starts citrusy and moves towards woods in a soft way. 11/10.
Iso E Super comes out quite a bit. It’s more intense than classic Eau de Dior and lighter than Cool Water (which leans more towards calone, with moss and green/macho chords). It’s pleasant and suitable, but it doesn’t overflow with character. For those going for the safe bet and wanting to smell clean, it’s a very correct blue.
Bleu de Chanel: Citrus opening with a mentholated touch. Middle: the citrus tone wraps around aromatic ginger. Final dry-down: here it shows its best facet, with woods and a deep, fragrant incense. Projection and longevity: projects for about 8 hours and lasts 10-12. Conclusion: citrusy, aromatic, woody, and incensed. Probably the best men’s fragrance from Chanel (and in my opinion, the best blue on the market). It’s the one that has earned me the most compliments: clean, mysterious, elegant, and sexy. Although the price has risen, it’s one of the best quality-price acquisitions, with quality superior to many niche scents. It’s a “must”, a well-deserved classic. Honestly, the EDT is better than the EDP and Parfum; its notes evolve more interestingly and elegantly thanks to the incense, while the others are linear, more expensive, and monotonous.
To me, Blue is an old friend, a companion for daytime and semi-formal outings. It’s not made for the night; its potential is limited to overpower heavy scents in pubs, although I first bought it in 2012. Today, reformulated, it’s much less. It has suffered hundreds of copies from vulgar brands, but it maintains its unique magic. What do you see in blue? It’s Cool Water, Light Blue, or Blue Label, just its name, because it’s deeply woody-citrusy, with those mentholated effluvia of pink pepper and spices. It’s woody. It’s versatile but shy, conveying class. It hurts my soul, but I think I’ll stop buying it while watching half the bottle… or the emptiness.
I’d never tried it, and out of my 30+ fragrances (including some not listed here), Bleu de Chanel is in my Top 5. It smells incredible, elegant, and clean; the dry-down isn’t soapy but slightly sweet and clean. The problems: although it lasts days on clothes, on skin it doesn’t go past three hours, and the trail disappears after the first hour. Perhaps due to the price and brand, one expects more, but I suppose it has been reformulated. Overall, the aroma, opening, and dry-down are so good they compensate for the longevity. One of the best I’ve tried. 8.5 out of 10.
One of my first perfumes. For me, its opening is citrusy, slightly spicy, and assertive. Its best point is the dry-down: citrus notes, woody, with a touch of incense. When I smell it, I don’t see age, but I imagine someone modern who loves the classic, refined, and timeless. Its weak point is the trail: it disappears on skin after three or four hours, though the grapefruit note remains impregnated on clothes. I wouldn’t buy it again; at that price, there are other options with better trail and longevity.
A very good cologne. In its day, it was innovative; at first, it’s addictive, but after a few weeks, I got a bit tired of it. It’s fresh but intense, and in the end, I only used it for events. People complimented me, but having to smell it on myself for hours was overwhelming. Good perfume, but personally, it saturated me. Still, I recommend it.
I ordered it as a gift after testing it in-store, and it suited me best when I was younger. What I didn’t calculate was its performance: despite its delicious aroma, it lasts a maximum of two hours on skin and projects nothing. Obviously it’s original, but I ignored the reformulations; being over 10 years old, it doesn’t reach what it was when launched. Anyway, being so citrusy and fresh, it’s brilliant for the gym or sports.
My obsession since 2013 and always in my wardrobe. Although the EDP and Parfum versions saw a drop in intensity and a scandalous price hike, this scent has NEVER let me down on important dates. It’s perfect for work, dates, and night events. For me, it’s an absolute masterpiece. Everyone loves it. Yes, there are better and cheaper alternatives nowadays like Armaf Iconic or Missoni, but the 2010-2015 Bleu de Chanel was a beast. I keep my last 2023 batch with care; if it runs out, I’ll buy it again because I wouldn’t want to change it, though I might eventually settle for a cheaper clone.
It was quite a revolution when it launched back in 2010, a very good versatile aroma for day and night, summer and winter. The downside is that current versions no longer have the same intensity as before, although the scent remains good. The price is still a bit high, but it’s still worth owning
What a delicious perfume! The opening is citrusy with a sweet touch from the pink pepper (which is a berry, not pepper), a sweet and spicy fruity aroma, accompanied by lots of mint and woods with a musk base that provides cleanliness and longevity. It’s simple yet exquisite. When dry, it leaves mostly wood with a slight smoky touch and the base citrus with the musk. Simple, elegant and refined. It lasts about five hours, but a couple of sprays on the shirt help. It’s a must-have in any collection, just like Sauvage, which is another very fresh, lavender, citrus and metallic scent
Bleu de Chanel is a delight for the senses. Its intense, complex aroma, dominated by citrus notes, is a treat for those seeking character. Upon application, it surprises with a moderate opening, neither too strong nor too soft, as if to say: ‘I’m here, but I won’t dominate’. Then a woody scent emerges; at first it may seem old-fashioned, but that is exactly what gives it unique, sophisticated character. It lasts all day without reapplication. Its projection is moderate, noticeable nearby but not too far away. It generates compliments, especially from those who appreciate the classic and sophisticated. Taste is subjective, but in summary, it’s perfect for expressing personality with confidence and assurance
Cheap-smelling perfume
a
What more can I say? More than has already been said. It’s a perfume everyone should own
A friend has one; I left it unused for seven years and it died. It lost its vitality. What a pity that a perfume costing over $200, even though I protected it from light and heat, wasn’t enough
As often happens, blue fragrances lack something at first on my skin, but over time you can tell they smell good. It also smells better on the dryer than on me, though for me it’s more bearable than other options. I like the citrus/woody blend with white flowers; it’s pleasant and not a total letdown
The opening is super citrusy and revitalising, then you notice the mint, pink pepper and a delicious woody, smoky touch… It’s very fresh yet masculine and aromatic. I give it 9 out of 10 because it suits any occasion, from heat to cool days, casual or formal wear. It’s delicious, especially fresh with that powerful grapefruit and mint
A spray, a stage: it’s like eating mashed potatoes at a luxury restaurant 👍
Bleu de Chanel EDT – My personal review. Opening: Revitalising citrus explosion with grapefruit and lemon, combined with mint and pink pepper. A sparkling, clean and stimulating opening that transmits energy without losing sophistication. Heart: The ginger amplifies that freshness with its natural spicy and citrusy character. The nutmeg adds warmth and contrast, rounding off the profile. The Iso E Super adds a soft, velvety texture that embraces the skin without saturating it. Base: The dry-down is where the fragrance defines its masculine and elegant identity. A rich base with nuances: Incense gives a subtle, almost mystical smoky air; Vetiver and cedar build a dry, woody and clean profile; Sandalwood and patchouli add depth, creaminess and body; Labdanum introduces a warm resin that fixes and enriches the aroma; White musk leaves a clean, enveloping trail, very masculine. An overall feeling of sober cleanliness, representing how contemporary men’s fragrances should smell: firm but discreet, fresh but with character. Fixation and trail: Correct for an EDT, with good projection at the start but a more intimate trail as the hours pass. If you’re looking for more intensity, the EDP and Parfum versions exist. Bottle and sprayer: The bottle is very refined and elegant, made of glass with a deep midnight blue tone that reflects sophistication. The cap is magnetic, a practical and premium detail that prevents losing it easily. The sprayer works very well, delivering a light mist and well-dosed spray that facilitates application without wasting fragrance. Final verdict: A fresh, masculine and elegant fragrance. Ideal for everyday life, work, dates or events where you want to smell good without invading. If you expect high projection or extreme originality, it may fall short. But if you want something versatile, clean and classy, it delivers.
I love this fragrance; it’s such an elegant and sophisticated smell, very different from other blues. Whenever I’m in a suit and tie during the day, I can’t imagine wearing any other fragrance. That said, the EDT version lasts 3-4 hours on my skin, to be honest. If you don’t mind reapplying, it’s a good purchase.
It’s a clean and crisp smell. Although it’s for men, I think a woman could wear it too. In the opening it has an edge that grates on me a little, but in the dry-down it rounds off and leaves that intimate, personal body scent.
An explosion of citrus in the opening. If it had better performance, it would very probably be my signature fragrance. An exquisite smell, low longevity; if you don’t mind reapplying at five hours, this perfume is for you.
The Architect of a New Masculinity, Bleu de Chanel, is distinguished by sophisticated freshness and impeccable balance, making it a modern classic. The opening combines mature citrus with ginger and mint, creating a sparkling start where the incense already adds depth. With the evolution, the heart settles on cedar and vetiver, reinforced by pink pepper and patchouli, giving it a dry, aromatic and elegant character. The musk fixes the ensemble with cleanliness and durability. The result is a versatile and confident fragrance, a reference of masculine elegance that adapts to any occasion without losing its identity. My rating: 9/10. A safe bet and a classic that continues to set the style.
This perfume never disappoints with its Iso E Super.
A mandatory review after more than 11 years of using this gem as my signature fragrance. First of all, the performance is much worse than the first batches. From there, the game: I haven’t heard anything like it. It was my first men’s signature fragrance after several youthful party scents, and it was a complete change in my view of perfumery. From the moment I smelled it, I knew it was mine; it can’t be explained, you just feel it. It invaded me with a super pleasant smell in its entirety; I always smell it the same way, unable or unwilling to analyse notes or chords separately. Hyper-versatile, I’ve used it for everything, in the cold, in the heat, for weddings, informal outings… it never lets you down. It’s fresh yet sophisticated, pleasant, it accompanies you, incense-like yet sweet… in short, many nuances that form a legendary scent. Without a doubt, I see it as the most versatile of all the Bleus, plus it gives me the most energy, thanks to that slightly fresher punch in the opening. Encouragement to anyone who likes perfumery to try it. It doesn’t disappoint.
I’ve tried it several times in department stores; given its price and longevity, it really doesn’t convince me. It’s a fresh, rich blue scent, one of those that evokes orange cleaner but ultra-refined, or shower gel. The projection is about an hour and the longevity on skin gave me two hours at most. Despite the above, as a collector I’ll buy it sometime as it’s an industry icon and to feel like high society (haha). Apart from that, it’s a very versatile fragrance, except in extreme climates. It’s easy for society’s noses to digest and perhaps that’s where its success lies. Personally, I had to fill its absence with a M1nis0 perfume; Blue Men’s, which is 95% similar in smell and I’m sure it lasts longer for a tenth of the price. All in all, I give it 3.8/5.
I’ve always wanted it, unfortunately I couldn’t afford it. Now I’ve finally got it on discount (I work in a shop that’s part of your life) and I love it. Of the three, the EDT is the one I like best and it lasts longest. I feel redundant buying both the EDT and the EDP, but if you have the means ($$$$), go for it! This perfume must not be missing from your collection.
The most overrated Bleu in history. It is by far the most basic of the brand. It’s not bad, but its status comes from the name, not the scent. It’s not worth $140. It wasn’t the first to do blue either; Ralph Lauren and Azzaro were doing it before. It had good advertising with Gaspard Ulliel as the modern office man. The performance is risible at four hours, the ingredients are decent, but the composition is unrecognisable unless you’re told it’s Chanel. At least this in the EDT; the EDP is superior without being a masterpiece, but it’s a good perfume you should try. The Allure and Egoiste lines are much better; try those before buying Bleu de Chanel for their lovely presentation.
