““It’s all over you... electric blue.” Can’t get that song out of my head. Huge cardamom note. In fact, wearing this and something cardamom-green in colour you may be mistaken for an actual cardamom (not condom - I hope) pod. Lavender too. Very similar to the original. Projection and sillage are soft but enticing. I have not been complimented on this - but the cute kulfi in the Pakistani takeaway I walked past last night was giving me seductive doe eyes. I like it.”
“If you take the original and make it about 30, 40% fresher and louder, that’s Bleu Électrique. It keeps everything great about the original but adds more punch and projection. I actually prefer this version most of the time, it gets more compliments too. Still, the original has this unique, edible charm and a more minimalist feel that makes it special in its own way.”
“Smells like original La Nuit made more modernized and stronger. Is it a lot stronger? No, but it has a okay projection for 1,5-2 hours and then sits closer to skin for 4-5 more hours. Scent wise this is the ultimate date night scent, the original is what got me started so this one has a special place in my heart. U can use this every season imo, just as long as it's a little bit colder outside. I highly recommend if you can get a hold of it.Romance in a Bottle!”

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in the opening but has noticeably shorter longevity (4-6 hours vs 8+ hours for the original). The base develops with less complexity and the overall composition feels more linear without the sophisticated evolution of the designer fragrance.

The clone performs reasonably well in projection and longevity but feels noticeably more linear, with less complexity in the transitions between notes.
