Nobody has Chanel available where I live. I had never even smelled the stuff, until i went perfume shopping on vacation last week. Bleu de Chanel EDP was the 1st purchase I made. Its funny being in the fragrance hobby, but having these huge holes in my scent experiences because of the difficulties finding testers when you live far from civilization. I own several great blue frags, and have sampled dozens more, but never the OG. Ive heard all the reviews, read the note list, and had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Bleu De Chanel lived up to the hype. It wasn't exactly how I imagined it. It was slightly more soapy and slightly less woodsy than I pictured, but i was definitely close. The 2 biggest surprises I had was that the longevity was much better than i hoped, and the price was much lower than i feared. I dont need to tell the Brotherhood what this smells like, or share a note a breakdown with you. Its not just a blue. Its THE blue! Its a fresh, clean, crowd pleasing, and versatile scent... and its absolutely flawless! A perfect 10/10 masterpiece! Maybe i should have blind bought this years ago, but im glad I didnt. I don't believe I would have appreciated just how well crafted this is back then. Its not really "the best" at any one thing, but its pretty darn good at everything! A jack of all trades. Any occasion, any weather, any outfit you can grab Bleu De Chanel and know its going to work for you. For me, Bleu is the new black. It goes with everything. Its a must have fragrance for any perfume enthusiast's collection. Im glad its finally part of mine.
