I could talk about this perfume for hours and hours. :)
A woody, aromatic fragrance for the man who defies convention; a provocative blend of citrus and woods that liberates the senses. Fresh, clean, and profoundly sensual: BLEU DE CHANEL Parfum.
As the commercial suggests, Bleu de Chanel was designed as a perfume for the modern man, casual in style. The fragrance stands for the tie: the busy modern guy wears a shirt but doesn’t need anymore a tie, even if it is a businessman or an elegant man by default. But Bleu de Chanel replaces the tie successfully.
As a woman, I loved this fragrance from the beginning when it was just the eau de toilette, from 2010. Then, they made the eau de parfum, in 2014, and now my husband has Bleu de Chanel Parfum, from 2018, which I think is pretty the same as eau de parfum. It is, maybe, a bit more citrusy. But the DNA remains of Bleu de Chanel, a very good fragrance, a favorite of many men and loved by a lot of women.
The design of the bottle is simple, yet effective. A dark blue square, imposing, but by nothing special. I could say it is a minimalist but elegant bottle. And the dark blue makes it a bit mysterious. But, in the code of colors for scents, a dark blue packaging of a fragrance denotes both boldness and receding, confidence yet sadness.
Not to mention that Classic Blue is the color of the year 2020, according to Pantone Institute.
Bleu de Chanel was created by Chanel's in-house perfumer Jacques Polge and it contains notes of citrus (bergamot, lemon, grapefruit), “deep blue sea” accord, peppermint, pink pepper, nutmeg, ginger, jasmine, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, labdanum, and frankincense.
