For 75% of its life it is an almost exact copy of BDC in Parfum version. In the remaining 25% it takes another path, heading towards leather/resins, a stage that lasts a couple of hours until it disappears. Without a doubt it is a rich perfume because it is faithful to the Bleu genetics that we all love, but no matter how much I searched for the opposite, the reality is it adds nothing to the line. Even ignoring the price, I would prefer to use any of the other three before this one. It’s a pity because it was the launch I had the most expectations for. I doubt very much having a bottle of this perfume in my life at some point.
I have been testing it for days and today the definitive review. Upon spraying you detect the marine woody origin of Bleu, but in its most oriental form. That part of Bleu is only 4%, the rest is absorbed by a sweet sandalwood with leather, spicy notes, animalic, resinous, woody, and feminine at the designer level, not too risky. Does it resemble any Bleu? NO, it doesn’t resemble any, but it has that metallic wood at the beginning. Even the Bleu Parfum is lightyears fresher than l’exclusif. Bleu l’exclusif wanted to inspire itself from old inkwells reflecting density. In summary: it is a Bleu transformed into a ball of warm resins and leather that on the skin smells like a smoked suede tapestry. Totally elegant perfume, not versatile and for special occasions. At least something different, because designer launches this year are hardly surprising. But this offers something distinct.
First impression with 3 sprays: it smells like the Blue DNA and the Chanel DNA. If you start smelling it closely you will surely find new nuances, but in terms of sillage and first impression it smells like Bleu Parfum. It keeps the Chanel seal and the European guild: after 30 minutes the sillage fades significantly and longevity doesn’t matter, as it quickly stays close to the skin with almost imperceptible bursts. The magic is in the opening, a Bleu Parfum with deeper, darker brushstrokes, intense, giving the impression that it would stay like that, but when the middle notes should enter, the sillage crashes, losing the appeal. The aroma is super well-known and I find nothing that stands out against the Parfum, which impressed me greatly. Too much money for what previously cost half the price and mediocre performance. Mediocrity is the current standard of the European market.
Nothing new under the sun. Smells very similar to Bleu Parfum, but softer, and when it dries down it reminds me of Allure Sport Superleggera. I’ve seen 60ml and 100ml versions going for nearly 300 euros. Not worth a penny; the EDT and EDP remain the kings.
What a beautiful fragrance! The opening is the typical BDC, but the dry-down, gentlemen, is gorgeous, one of the best smells I have experienced. Unfortunately, I find it excessively expensive; it is outside my budget.
Exquisite aroma, deeper and more characterful than its predecessors. But let’s be clear: the price is a joke. Fashion houses slap grandiose names like ‘elixir’ or ‘exclusive’ on them to justify absurd prices out of pure greed. Another major flaw is the performance. After spending 300 euros in the boutique, you expect more than an hour of longevity; yesterday I had to lean in close to my arm just to smell it. Perhaps my nose is off due to a cold, but that same night I tried an Afnan 9pm Elixir which is years apart in price, and the result was worlds better. I hope this is a fluke or that my nose improves; the hobby can be bewildering.
Finally found it yesterday at Druni after searching in Albacete, and the truth is it left me totally cold. The Bleu line has never fully convinced me, except for the Parfum which is the only good one I own. I had high expectations with this new one: it is very potent, noticeable all afternoon with just two sprays without needing to bring my arm close, which I appreciate because with the Blues you usually have to. In that regard, it wins, but the aroma bores me; very mature, though in a good way. You can tell it is an elevated Bleu. I showered and by night the scent was still there, projecting, so the longevity is great, but the aroma says nothing to me. It is a woody with lots of prominent amber and sandalwood. It has a cold, distant sillage, and although I like perfumes like that, this is not for me. I see no relation to the Bleu line, yes to the Sauvage Elixir. The good thing is it doesn’t remind me of anything, seems original? no, but different from everything Chanel. I don’t rule out trying it again; with one go you don’t appreciate a perfume truly, I felt it all afternoon and night, strong, and I think it is totally autumnal, wintry, and nocturnal.
An elegant aroma calling for special occasions, more nocturnal than diurnal. Ideal for spring, autumn, and winter, especially the latter two. Its charm lies in the dry-down. Slightly mature (27+ in my opinion) and will please almost anyone who smells it. Quality is perceptible, very well made. Chanel, finally, is acceptable in durability (7/10), although projection and sillage are low (6/10). The price is out of this world for what it offers, especially given the alternatives. It’s a Chanel that thinks it is a Roja Dove or Xerjoff. Would I have it? Without a doubt, but not at its base price. At most, I would pay €100 for 100ml.
What a delight! The amber and sandalwood notes are incredible, but… the price. Oh dear. I wanted to gift it to my partner, but I’ll have to eat ice soup to afford it.
Exquisite aroma, deeper, more robust, and with more character than its predecessors. We won’t deny it. But let’s talk about the problems: the price is deplorable and outrageous. Some houses use ‘flashy’ names like ‘elixir’ or ‘exclusive’ to justify exorbitant prices out of pure greed. The other major flaw is performance: after spending €300 on Chanel, you expect corresponding longevity, but yesterday after an hour I couldn’t smell it; I had to bring my arm close to try to detect it. Perhaps my nose is playing up due to a cold; that same night I tested Afnan 9pm Elixir, much cheaper, and the song was entirely different. I maintain hope that this is a fluke, I wish it were my nose failing. This hobby becomes bewildering.

Tested yesterday at a Pharmaprix and the opening is an interesting chaos: spicy, fresh, woody notes compete with a hint of sweetness for the spotlight. However, after two minutes it dries down into such heavy amber and wood that it gave me a headache; it’s extremely penetrating. I admit it smells expensive from the first spray, top quality ⚜️. It’s dark, dense, and lasts a long time on the skin, leaving an oily trail even after washing your hands. P.S.: If you hate tobacco or laundry scents, do not buy it; that sensation will become an obsession.
It’s a good perfume; the problem is the price, which most cite as a hindrance, as we are talking about designer perfumes at niche prices.

As a fan of the Original and the EDP, I went with huge hype to try it, but it left me cold. I don’t notice the Bleu DNA in the opening at all; this flanker is heading elsewhere, it’s dark and rough. None of the versatility its siblings possess. Those who like it, enjoy it; I will stick with their fresher, more luminous sisters.
Every declared note stands out in quality and can be appreciated in detail. There is also a soft smokiness that carries it to fresh climates. As for citrus, there is little to none. Like the Bleu, it could have been the Parfum. It is a good perfume in terms of scent and longevity (finally from Chanel), but the exorbitant price negates any good intention. Such delusions cannot be justified. It is madness without justification.
Very similar to Savage Parfum; honestly, I bought it and regretted it due to the price.
It’s already in my collection. Upon leaving, I notice a citrusy touch, some incense or smokiness, with a base of musk and almonds, with a hint of habaneta thrown in. It lasts over 24 hours as it is an extrait. If they wanted it to be a worthy rival to Sauvage Elixir, they succeeded: it lasted me over 24 hours, and I was still sweating it the next day while playing tennis.
It retains a bit of the Bleu DNA and mixes it with smoky woods and an amber that I initially thought would resemble Le Lion, but not really at first impression. It has an airy, minimal texture, as if Claude Ellena had created it. It lasts quite a while, but unless you apply it generously, the projection shouldn’t be high. The price issue: Chanel prioritises buying the large bottle; at lower quantities, the price per ml is madness. The 60ml is outrageous, and the 100ml goes overboard too, though for a fan with a healthy budget, it’s less so. There are niche perfumes with equal quality-to-price ratios that don’t raise as many eyebrows, although Chanel has history and luxury behind it. It’s worth a try.
I like it because it’s not a difficult scent. It will please anyone who smells it; it’s a mass-appealing fragrance that works. I’m tired of carrying fragrances that need taming or that only 0.1% of mortals ‘understand’, leaving you looking like a snob. This Bleu L’Exclusif pleases everyone. Is it acceptable that it sits in that price range? In terms of quality, it’s nothing extraordinary; it’s designer quality. A bit darker, less bright, and almost nothing fresh, but that doesn’t give it the category of a perfume over £200. I detect the Bleu DNA, which I appreciate. If they want to release another Bleu so similar that it doesn’t cover a new spectrum, perhaps they shouldn’t release anything at all. It’s more appropriate for winter; right now, it’s disappointing. It lasts but stays close to the skin. That’s normal given the concentration, but Sauvage Elixir and Dior Homme Parfum (the real deal) have high concentrations and project in any weather. On a blotter, I love it; it’s versatile and has a touch of freshness, but on my skin, it becomes dirtier and more alluring, perfect for a romantic date. I’m not sure it will end up in my collection; I’ll wait for an Arabic house to be inspired by it at a better price with more projection, as that is its weakest point, right behind the price.
It’s like the dry-down of the Parfum, but without the herbal notes and with more amber. Furthermore, it is three times more potent and long-lasting than the Parfum, which I confirmed by wearing both on my arms. It bears little resemblance to the EDT. I love L’Exclusif. That said, it is strictly for night or cold days. It’s almost gothic, very dark. What I dislike is THE PRICE; I find it outrageous. I am sure I have smelled similar things in Arabic fragrances, and a cheap clone will appear within weeks. Scent: 10/10, Projection: 7/10, Longevity: 8/10, Price: 1/10.

I tried this new release and found it to be a very good fragrance. It’s nothing novel or disruptive, but it is pleasant, almost addictive. It retains the Bleu DNA, albeit in small doses: the intention is to take it to a more intense, warm, and refined territory. A strong amber presence stands out, dominating the blend and giving it a dense, enveloping air. It is much more intense than the EDT or the Parfum, ideal for those seeking body. I find it less versatile, yet very pleasant and easy to recommend based on its aroma. Perfect for cool nights or elegant events with a sensual touch. I agree with many: the price is far too high for what it offers. For the scent, I do recommend it; for the price, there are better options that offer equal or more for less.
Disclaimer: this was a gift from Chanel, but my opinion is 100% honest. Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif smells ‘wow’ from the first spray. If you love the line, you know what I mean. Better than the EDT? Absolutely. Better than the EDP? Without a doubt. Better than the Parfum? Not at all; that remains the king. L’Exclusif shares the same DNA: citrusy, powdery, fresh, and linear, but it feels cleaner, with polished woods, a touch of sweetness, and soft leather that makes it more youthful than the Parfum (which is more ‘gentlemanly’). It has that melancholic vintage vibe of fougères. Praise is guaranteed, and the performance is excellent. The quality is top-notch, as you’d expect from Chanel. The price is high, considering it smells like a designer fragrance. It’s versatile, elegant, and perfect for any season. A solid launch with the Chanel touch that every fashion-conscious man seeks. Rating: 🥇
In Argentina, the 60ml bottle should retail for around $236, but thanks to an employee discount, I managed to grab it for $145 and jumped in blind. The scent is very pleasant and stays true to the line; I prefer it to the EDT I wear daily. Contrary to what I’ve read, I find it versatile, though more suited for evening wear. The performance is dreadful: after just seven sprays, there’s nothing left, and at a gathering, no one noticed I was wearing it. I doubt it’s just fatigue, as by the next day, there was no trace on my t-shirt, as if I’d never worn it. For now, a total letdown.
Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif is woody, amber, and slightly balsamic. Its opening is amber and citrus, recalling others in the line like the EDP and the Parfum. It’s curious that on my skin that citrus sensation, perhaps due to ginger, lasts a long time alongside the amber and sandalwood, a characteristic of the whole line. As time passes, the woody chords gain presence with a subtle leather note, until the end. It can be for daily use, but I would leave it for special or formal events; it serves in the office or any work environment. For me, it’s spring, autumn, and winter, or summer exclusively at night. The duration has been good, better than other Bleus, lasting more than 9 hours with a noticeable trail near those around you. As for the scent, I’ve liked it a lot, I would use it without complexes; the only downside is that it’s quite expensive. I don’t know if I’ll ever be inspired to buy it, but since I like it, I love it.
Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif is woody, ambered, and slightly balsamic. The opening is ambered and citrusy, reminiscent of the Eau de Parfum and Parfum. On my skin, that citrus sensation (perhaps ginger) lingers alongside the amber and sandalwood. Over time, the wood takes precedence and a subtle leather note emerges towards the end. It could be daily wear, but I would reserve it for special or formal events; it also works well in the office. For me, spring, autumn, and winter, or summer only at night. Longevity has been good, better than the other Blues, over 9 hours, with a noticeable trail close to those around me. I love the scent; I would wear it without hesitation. The only drawback: it is very expensive. I don’t know if I will be tempted to buy it, but since I like it, I love it.
Ugh, one of the few perfumes that makes me angry that it doesn’t last long. The truth is, I loved it. You can subtly detect the undeclared leather note on Fragrantica, though Chanel does declare it. Elegant for night use, very for special occasions. It’s true that the projection is short and the duration is low compared to the 100ml which here in Chile cost $300. Maybe it’s worth buying 60ml with a discount; I managed to get 100ml in tester format for $200. If you have the money, buy it, but I think there are better alternatives for the price or better options for much less.
I tried it in-store and to be honest, I didn’t like it. It is a very heavy and dark perfume, a potent wood that softens afterwards. It is for people between 30 and 60 years old. A fragrance totally for cold seasons; in summer the scent is overwhelming due to its potency. This scent is not for me, but it will be loved by older people.
I tried it in the Chanel store; it is oriental and blue at the same time, similar to the EDP in the opening and the Parfum in the dry-down, just more resinous and powdery, perfect for night in any season. But let’s stop the hype: I applied it at 9pm and by 11pm it was skin scent; you have to lean in to smell it. Only the first half-hour had a decent trail. With these crazy prices surpassing many niche brands, I rate it a 5/10: it doesn’t deserve a better mark because it is very similar to the previous ones. It does smell more expensive, but it hasn’t lasted anything special for what it costs. It is not unusual for fragrances from this brand to have poor performance. If it is the first time you smell a Bleu de Chanel, you will be surprised, but the EDP seems better value for money. PS: I am still sniffing around with my nose…

Well… it’s a difficult perfume. The first 2-3 hours are quite heavy, like old wood, almost rotten, with an acidic touch; then it softens and becomes sweeter. It’s the typical perfume where the opening and dry-down have nothing to do with each other.
I tried it in the store and honestly, I didn’t like it. It’s very heavy and dark, a potent wood that then softens. It’s for people aged 30 to 60, totally a winter scent because in summer the smell gives me a headache. This scent isn’t for me, but older people will love it.
I just sprayed it from a sample at 11am; it’s 2pm and I can still feel it clinging, although it feels close. They usually don’t last long on me, but I’d say it lasts just under an hour. I know you can’t properly review a sample, but here are my impressions: It looks very similar to the Parfum without the fruity notes, darker due to the dark woods. I sense leather or suede, possibly from the labdanum with the amber and the creaminess of the sandalwood. It’s the most mature, masculine, and elegant alongside the Parfum, which I see as more versatile. This L’Exclusif is definitely more nocturnal; it’s the one I like most of the Bleu range. The EDP doesn’t suit me due to its overpowering incense that darkens it without sense. In terms of performance, if I pass the fifth hour, I reapply. Perfect perfume for dates and elegant afternoon/evening occasions in autumn, winter, and fresh spring. The price is outrageous; I acknowledge its quality, but I won’t buy it due to the cost, as Chanel doesn’t offer discounts.
Among my favourites, these are the kind that cost what they smell like; it’s true it doesn’t impress, but personally it’s my signature.
THE DARKEST CLEAN PERFUME. It’s a woody and amber opening with a touch of talc. Although not declared, I perceive lemon and leather. It recalls the Bleu line but is darker, powdery, and cosmetic. As hours pass, the musk and balsamic chords gain ground, leaving a woody, clean, dark, and slightly sweet scent. On my skin, it projected for about 6 hours; from then on, it stays close to the skin until 4pm (it didn’t leave me until I showered). Exceptional performance (at least on my skin). I tested it for two full days at 7-12 degrees and both days it generated compliments. It’s for formal use or special occasions in autumn and winter. In my opinion, it’s a marvel and the best fragrance in the Bleu line. Straight into my collection.
I managed to get a 100ml tester at a great price (almost half the department store cost) and I’m delighted; I prefer it to the rest of the Bleu line. It lasts longer, projects better, and has a superior trail. The scent is fantastic, please don’t get me started on claims that it’s heavy or dark; don’t be such spoiled princesses; how can a citrus-balsamic-woody Chanel be dark? That just means you don’t know brands like Beaufort or dark fragrances like Gucci’s black bottles. Bleu Exclusif has sweet citrus notes sparkling like fireworks for hours, a sweetness that appears and disappears very stylishly, not tiring or boring like the tired citrus of Arabic copies. The dry-down is a fine, pleasant balsamic woody note; I’ve received many compliments at home, work, and even at a petrol station where the attendant was going crazy saying how ‘rich’ it smelled. Forget the idea that it’s for old men; no, it’s a proper stinker that smells like a made man, elegant, modern, and empathetic. It’s worth it, everyone considers their own spending, go try it, save up, and treat yourself. It will last a long time and give you satisfaction. If they ask what you’re wearing, you’ll say ‘Bleu de Chanel’ and you can add with elegance: ‘yes, the new Exclusif version’.
Smells very much like the others in the line, but it has its own nuances and performs better. It’s a good perfume, versatile, masculine, with that rich Chanel touch. However, I struggle to justify the exclusivity price tag. It’s not that it lacks quality; if you’re after that scent, the Parfum flanker will do and you’ll save money. At this price point, you could pick up a Casamorati Mephisto or a Roja Elysium for less on various websites.
