If you’re easy on the trigger it will reward you but one spray too many and you end up being ‘that guy’. I bought 4711 in a box with a 200 ml bottle plus shower gel for 14 euros. The fragrance feels airy, aldehydic, blue, bold, casual, commanding, dry, energizing, formal, fresh, green, harsh, high-quality, intense, inviting, long-lasting, masculine, modern, musky, nicely-blended, office-ready, playful, professional, resinous, refined, rich, sharp, smoky, sporty, ultra-fresh, versatile, wild, woody, zesty, and very pleasant. Very smooth. It is still produced there. A woody dept sets in after ten minutes. This is the king of blue fragrances and it will always be a part of my collection. Both on test strips and my skin is smells tamed, woody...and I can only summarize as boring. Sharp, fresh, citrussy - it's all packed in oakmoss. Simply the best blue fragrence its stunning it's the epitome of a all season all weather crowd pleasing fragrence.I was a doubter as I was of the opinion why spend so much on a blue fragrence but this is a next level scent specifically the EDP version I got a great deal from Debenhams under 100 pounds for 150ml it was a steal. My most complimented fragrance. Eau de neroli dore Eau de cologne. It is not long lasting, rather it's meant to be used as a pick me up on a hot day or an after bath splash, tingly, refreshing and brief.

I bought my 100ml splash bottle during a visit to the eponymus flagship store in Cologne while looking for the Farina Cologne Museum - for some reasons I took the former for the latter and was disappointed to see a scentless eau de cologne fountain as the sole attraction! Wore this on a hot sunny day and I kept the little watch bottle in my bag to freshen up with every now and then. I have to tread lightly at the office so that the scent Nazis don’t shut me down - so BdC EDP helps we walk the tightrope. My kids and wife love this summery fragrance. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Polge. One of the things I love about perfume is that inexpensive purchases can be just as cheering (if not more so) than expensive ones. Fresh, invigorating, awakening, rejuvenating.

A must-have classic. Overall, I wouldn't pay top dollar for this (despite its long wear the sillage is a bit lacking), but understand why it's become such a staple in the blue category. I recently watched (with a smile of affection) Billy Joel liberally douse his bald head with it halfway through a sweaty summer concert. If you want the freshness to repeat then fill a pocket atomiser and use regularly throughout the day. Fresh, slight citrus, not sharp, pleasant, very versatile. The original cologne. I could not find it again until the advent of the internet which allowed me to renew my passion. I love this stuff. I have been meaning to buy it for my boyfriend but it always seems to be sold out where I live. Eau de Cologne is the original perfume, a formulation made my Johann Maria Farina, an Italian, who named it after his new city of residence, Köln in Germany, or Cologne is French. This is overrated in my opinion. Longevity was above average and projection was OK, although it does sit closer than others. Maybe of the taste of black Halls candies. You can wear it day time or night time, spring, summer and fall, but it’s not the best for winter time. But longevity is horrible, so i dont recommend to buy it to anyone, becouse the price dont match the quality. It's just too much of a good thing and there are so many choices out there. It should be worn by a manager, a CEO kind of a guy. It's either random or I'm going crazy, as not many people seem to share my recent experience with Bleu de Chanel EDP new batches. Very sophisticated and a ton of depth. Year 1792, nice to meet you! Definitely not bad. I'm not saying it's not worth the $125 most retailers demand, but I surely didn't enjoy dropping that much on a designer fragrance, even if it's a Chanel. It has that slightly medicinal vibe that is just so fresh and feels like it's doing you good. And then just 2 weeks ago I wanted visit this again and now it turn out to be a love. Top notes are orange oil, peach, basil, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are cyclamen, lily, melon, jasmine and bulgarian rose; base notes are patchouli, tahitian vetiver, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss and cedar. Quite possibly one of the best smelling concoctions ever invented. It is not long lasting but gives you a clean solid 'hit' of awake & clean, perfect for any time you need a quick pick me up! . As it was the first amongst “blue” fragrances, Chanel essentially created an entirely new genre. I don't get any of the base notes at all, but that's ok. Lemons, orange oil, a touch of sun tan lotion (no coconuts) and classic 1960's-70's cheap complementary hotel soap (take that Imaginary Authours/Maison Margiela!) I recently got myself a new one with some nifty trading and i can safely say that this is still a masterpiece when it comes to sex appeal. Popularity has been high since its release, however, I haven't noticed anyone wearing it in a while. Would buy if it was one of a few in my collection, but with a large collection, it doesn't fill a need? Eau De Toilette Spray 6.8 oz. I've already stated my general opinion on Bleu in my review of the EdT. I keep sniffing my wrist. Longevity for me is amazing. There is a reason why this is so popular. I strayed from purchasing TF based off the fact that it simply didn't last long enough for the price. But this is one of the few fragrances I wouldn't change the level of the notes at all to suit my personal tastes. It just does not smell like a $120 fragrance (100mL).. not even close. Of course I’m talking about Ferrari Bright Neroli. Enjoy the inexpensive price, use as intended, appreciate the old world charm it represents. Really a honest thing from another time… bergamot… lemon… lily… jasmine… cedar... go for a big bottle as this is to be splashed allover. It's great for those unbearable summer days in the city, and even better if you keep it cold for a refreshing splash. Moreover, it is linear along the time, for those that liked it from the beggining, won't have any bad surprise later. Over all and most importantly it works on me! Citrusy, refreshing, uplifting, happy-making, and it keeps me sane during Detroit's hot n humid summers. A unisex citrus scent. We always had this in the house when I was growing up (I'm 20 btw) and I recently gifted another bottle to my mum for Christmas. 4711 Original Eau de Cologne was launched in 1792. This is one for the moment of application not for longevity. 2901 performs much, much better and has this deeper, complex tone to it. I just don't know how to appreciate it yet. It's very linear.. it's not that complex.. it's "eh". It's more for collecting purposes than for everyday use. The iconic gold-bar bottle symbolizes 1 Million's undeniable attractive powers. Apparently there is one without the "mit salbei", I have no idea how that one smells.). It retains the piercing, citrus-fresh opening of the EDT, with the mix of grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, and mint. I've worn it off and on ever since, and really miss it when I run out. I'm yet to try it in warmer weathers but in controlled climates it's working magic so far... Of all the (current) retail colognes, Bleu de Chanel is one of the most refined. It will leave a wonderful scent trail that everybody will love. It was for 'Bleu de Chanel'. Eau De Toilette contains 5% to 15% of concentrated parfum oil that makes it stronger than the cologne. $45.01 Off RRP. It’s also very inexpensive, so treat yourself this summer, spray away and enjoy it! With the incense adding a light touch of complexity. The name means "water of Cologne." The EDT is widely popular and is considered too mainstream, although it is a great smell, with that CHANEL DNA. If you want to take a risk Ferrari Bright Neroli lasts a hell of a lot longer than 4711, but to me just doesn’t smell as good. The fragrance is available as 60, 90, 300, 400 and 800 ml eau de cologne, and 150ml after shave. It is rich and versatile. It is such a pleasure to experience history in this manner. In the middle of trying to meditate myself into a popsicle four numbers came to my mind, 4711. EDT - Brighter, strongest in citrus notes, incredible burst opening that gives it an addictiveness that you want to keep smelling! ❤️ this cologne and will certainly enjoy it during the summer months on the beach and vacation! At least in Germany it's a titanium-colored bottle, with a green square. Our AC blew out late in the evening and temperatures were still over the 100s. The aldehyde is a very prominent note; it takes a brief moment to develop, but once it does, it injects a noticeable soapy, musky lemony, airy, clean, and fresh accord that significantly boots the projection. Interesting comments about the brief but pleasant hit & the "training wheels" aspect of frag-centric matriarchs preparing their daughters for olfactory adventures future. Can you guys include the batch in your comments? I liked this is a child but it seems so watery and nondescript now. very little), at a fraction of the cost. Good for any occasion, all seasons, all purposes. Well, you can spray this on for any occasion and still be able to pull it off. A lovely clean, crisp fragrance that's perfect for a spring day.

Get versace Dylan blue, it's cheap, smells incredible, projects and performs like a beast and women love it! For me, the EDT and Parfum are the best. It does not last long, but it is a nice lemon scent. A beautifully blended fragrance. 1.Parfum 2.EDP 3.EDT, Got this fragrance like 3 months ago. It's truly a masterpiece that can be worn in virtually any situation, and I know that sounds rather cliche but it's true!
