Aquatic, practical, good
I'm slowly getting a bit fed up with how aquatic, synthetic, fresh, blue, shower gel-like scents are always rated worse here than they actually deserve. I've noticed this trend since I was new to Parfumo, and apparently, it continues. On the other hand, gourmands, oud fragrances, and the like are often showered with praise, and you can frequently sense a certain underlying arrogance in the reviews, as if the latter group is inherently superior and involves a higher, more valuable perfume art. That's not the case. So much for the preface, now to the scent...
Blue Fever is fantastic, and I can honestly say: one of the best scents in this category that I've ever encountered. Very aquatic-fresh, but without any hint of the often-present fishiness, nor any seaweed associations. Aaron has managed to completely navigate around all the unpleasant aspects that aquatic scents often have, whether intentionally or not (haha, ship). Instead, there are very subtle fruity and green notes that fit wonderfully into the overall picture and do not overshadow the aquatic elements, but rather complement... or perhaps even complete them. The whole thing feels incredibly rounded and balanced to me; you can just tell that this is not just another aquatic thrown together with a tried-and-true recipe, but that real thought has gone into how to reinvent and perfect the familiar and known DNA. Has that been achieved? Well, perfect is a word I hesitate to use; it can always be better, but this is already really damn good.
By the way, it also has a typical ATH brutal H/S, especially for this genre of perfume.
Great perfume art, Aaron simply knows what he's doing, and he is gradually becoming my favorite perfumer. Far better than the 7.6 he currently has here. Wonderful.
