Cheap reliable blue perfume for a young person
I have a bottle of Faconnable Royal for some time now, the only representative of blue perfumes in my collection. It gets used a few times every year. It is a lovely blue perfume that does its job with no pretensions.
It is everything you expect from a blue bottle that costs $18. I recommend it for its high value to the demographic it targets. Nothing special, but good value as a generic all-purpose blue. The opening is strong burst of lavender and citrus, plus a melange of unspecified notes. Everything about this perfumes immediately points to a young person. The development is interesting as the citrus dies down with time and woody notes percolate up. I can smell sandalwood and tonka on my skin after 12 hours, albeit as a skin scent. Be warned that the top notes last a long time on clothing, obscuring the base notes on the skin. Overall, it is a nice perfume for a young person, though it is generic and may remind you of a million other blue scents. I believe that all perfumes can be worn by any gender at any time or season, but with appropriate discretion. Faconnable Royal will work for both men and women.
All the good qualities of this perfume are made less important by its low cost. That seems to be the driver of most purchases. I still recommend it.
