What wearers say
“It isn’t BDC, so if that is what you’re hoping for, I suggest you try elsewhere. However, at its price, this one has a nice dry down. It’s quick, it’s super synthetic, but it’s spicy and very wearable. It’s one of my favorite after-shower fragrances before bed. Easy to “waste” away on the sprayer because it’s hard to use too much. The scent trail will sit with you for about half an hour, but it’s a skin scent after that. Price makes this one a 7 out of 10, but money not considered, it’s a 4.5 on a good day just because it’s not original, or strong enough for anything higher.”
“This is a really nice Bleu de Chanel edt clon!! Don’t expect great performance from this house and is a $10 dollars fragance so….. but…. Smells really close to the original and I don’t get any hint of alcohol here! It is great for the gym or office .”
“By itself it's a very good fragrance with a similarity to Bleu de Chanel, and thanks to the recommendation of a user by the name of Wolverine12, you mix this 50/50 with Ejaazi by Lattafa and you get something even closer to Bleu at an amazing price. It's a great combo.”
