After finishing In Search of Lost Time , I spent several weeks reading nothing but my old children's books and fashion and travel magazines. Sometimes, following days of eating rich and spicy foods, all I crave is a sliced cucumber or tomato drizzled with rice vinegar.

Another perfume that is most anticipated this year was Bleu de Chanel. Whenever Chanel releases a new fragrance, it is always an event. This came out this year and inspiring like Allure, I bought one bottle of it. Most of the Chanel scent including the female perfumes have high and permanent smell.

Welcome to Light Bleu de Chanel (Eau Fra?che) Shame on Chanel for watering down the glorious Eau de Toilette presentation. Horrible longevity of 4-5 hours. Previously owned/wore 4 x 100ml bottles in 2012 and the recent one I got, batch 0210 (2016-02), is for sure a reformulation of the original...

If I were given Bleu de Chanel in a blank vial, I would have pegged it as a Hugo Boss flanker: a competent, commercial, focus group winner. Indeed, it is almost a shock to realize that this is a major masculine Chanel launch.

"BLEU DE CHANEL is the fragrance of a man who refuses to blend in or conform to the rules. Its composition reveals the spirit of a man who chooses his destiny with independence and determination. A character that asserts itself where we least expect it." All of which sounds a lot like me.

Got this as a gift for my brother and it was very well received. The fragrance is superb and stand out making people ask about it. All in all a very nice addition to your collection that sure does add more to your overall appeal.

Simply the best! Lasts all day long and a single spray goes a long way, making the bottle last a long time! Always get compliments with this scent and will not switching to another anytime soon!

moderate application will last all day, and into the evening so don't over do this. I honestly believe the perfume base is over all ,"the best" as it has a very slight moisturizing base. It seems to last longer than the cologne,but the sent still lingers, still providing a clean sent.

I said my piece on the whys and wherefores of the Bleu de Chanel (2010) line on the entry for the original eau de toilette that launched it, and despite every indication from the learned and scrupled crowd of male fragrance connoisseurs here on Basenotes pointing toward Bleu de Chanel being a vapid...
