WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AND DIDN’T BE: When Carlo Corinto left L’Inizio Sport and recycled the bottle for Blu Stremo, my curiosity was piqued. Recalling the house’s successes in 2007 (Silver, Rouge, 315, L’Inizio Sport), I bought blind. The result was a bitter-sweet experience: bitter because it bore no resemblance to L’Inizio Sport and wasn’t as aquatic, fresh, or soft as I expected; on the contrary, it had an intensity that didn’t convince me. The sweet part is that it smells nice, has aquatic notes but they don’t last, it becomes intense quickly, and has a clear woody base. I disagree with the claim that it resembles Bleu de Chanel; this fragrance is older, and if anything, Bleu would resemble it, but they share no real likeness, as Bleu has a sweeter citrus opening and is more complex and intense. In reality, it had a good scent, but the bitter part is that it failed to develop its own character like other Carlo Corinto fragrances; it seems like a little Frankenstein, lacking personality and made to order. I’m not saying it was bad, but it lacked the pedigree I noticed in others. It was youthful and sporty, for day and heat. The dry-down fixative was good, with no surprises in longevity, though the note combination partly explains it. Recommended sprays: 6 to 8. Fixative: 8. Sillage: Medium. Intensity: Medium.

Just bought it. The grapefruit is the first thing you smell upon application and is the note that rules the entire life of the perfume. When it reaches the mid-stage, a floral touch is noticeable due to the jasmine, and upon drying it is woody but without losing that little citrus scent. Ideal for summer, it is a very fresh aroma with which I have received many compliments :). It serves for all ages but especially for younger people, I would say around 20 years old. As its emblem states: ‘For the intrepid, extroverted, and vigorous youth. Outstanding Italian sensuality!’

New purchase and it has caught me. The first thing you notice is the grapefruit, which dominates the entire evolution. In the middle of its life, a floral touch enters via the jasmine, and upon drying, it becomes woody without losing that citrus freshness. Perfect for summer, super fresh, and I’ve already received many compliments :). It suits all ages, but I would place it on younger people, around the 20s. As its logo says: ‘For the intrepid, extroverted, and vigorous youth. Outstanding Italian sensuality!’

Good fragrances; it was a blind purchase due to the name. I thought it would be something very aquatic and fresh, like Nautica, full of citrus and marine notes, but I was wrong. Yes, it is fresh, yes, but with a very good woody base. Only at the beginning do you notice a touch of grapefruit, then the fruity notes arrive alongside the woods, making it something more casual than sporty or aquatic, and at a great price: $15 for 100ml.

Indeed, it smells like Bleu de Chanel, surely because of that, as Blu Stremo shares several notes except the aquatic, fruity, and guaiac ones. I had tried Bleu several times but never decided to buy it because the dry-down didn’t quite please me; however, upon trying Blu Stremo, despite the similarity, it seemed much more pleasant. Thanks to Carlo Corinto for this clone of Bleu.
