Admittedly, there are worse things in this world than Bleu de Chanel, but even in 2010, it seemed more than a little uninspiring. An inoffensive, middle-of-the-road release that does nothing in particular especially well.

to me, this is the quasi-aquatic of the Allure line...has that overall vibe and semi- chemical sharp/freshness of everything I've smelled in the Allure line up...very safe...very pleasant...very fresh...absolutely inoffensive and perfect for the office...actually, one of the few scents that someone at the office actually complimented me on...more like a giant accord that just slowly hangs around...i don't find much of a change from the beginning to end..catch bits and pieces of spice and citrus in an enclosure similar to Creed's aquatics...that same fresh ozony feel...a little peppermint from time to time...nice to have around when you want to put something on but want to be nonchalant about it...

Generic, boring, safe. Fine if you're a teenager, supposing you grow out of it.

Dark blue, inky, fresh, classy.

To me this is what a 'blue' frag should be. I usually pass on what notes a fragrance has, instead focusing on how it smells. In my opinion, this isn't as much an aquatic as it is a blue scent. It reminds me of a fall day with fun plans. Gives off a very pleasing and energetic vibe, and women love it. It's hard to be dull when wearing this, even if you're in a bad mood or busy. Again, I wouldn't call it an aquatic, because when I think aquatic I think Versace pour homme, AdG, Polo Blue. This is a far deeper and darker scent that can be worn in almost any occasion, typical Chanel versatility. The wearer will feel fun, but serious.

A very comfortable "blue" scent from Chanel.

Bleu de Chanel EDT is great for daily wear, never becoming overpowering nor cloying. It adds a friendly, peaceful aura in the background as I go about my routine for the day.

I felt a really close parallel between this scent and Bulgari's Blu for men, though BdCedt comes across as a bit lighter and more basic (although it is a really classy formulation, not ordinary at all).

Overall, a lovely, aromatic gingery-patchouli-vetiver EdT that can be worn in various occasions and temperatures; as for the EdP, not as much (though it is also classy, but more rich and "packed" with notes).
