What wearers say
“Very fresh clean scent. I don’t know how the og Bleu de Chanel smells, but this is very inoffensive and comforting in the way it smells. Citrus opening with a woodsy drydown. It is not strong in anyway and the performance is not that great but as it is extremely affordable just get trigger happy and reapply as necessary. It is worth for sure for the price point.”
“Sillage = 3.5/10Projection = 6/10Longevity = 5/10I heard this one is the dupe of BdC, maybe it's 70-80%, need to re-spray often.In general it is a good fragrance with good price.”
“I'm actually jealous of those who say this smells like Bleu De Chanel! Oh, to be so lucky... I get ZERO similarities to BdC! This smells like Drakkar Noir in a wet basement.I wonder if I got a bad bottle somehow, because the notes definitely imply it SHOULD smell like BdC, but instead, this is nothing like that.”
