Woof!
After I bought Armand Basis L'Eau pour Homme Eau de Toilette years ago on Fuerte Ventura after my ex gave it to me to test in the perfumery and I was thrilled by the fragrance, I absolutely had to test the L'Eau pour Homme Blue Tea now. The name promises a chilled fragrance for warm days. The bottle is in my favorite color, a light pastel tone, just my thing. It's important to me that the scent and the look harmonize with each other, because I'm looking for a new signature fragrance and I want everything to be just right. Pegasus or Cool Water Eau de Toilette or Platinum Égoïste Eau de Toilette are examples where everything is right and you like to hold the bottle in your hand and it also represents what you are getting. Armaf's knock-offs are examples of the opposite. I would also hide the gold bar 1 Million Eau de Toilette at the very back of the shelf.
I want something that makes a statement in every respect and suits me so that I can switch to autopilot for the next 10 years.
After having to wait a week for Blue Tea to arrive from Spain, the juice went straight onto my wrist.
The first impression is very positive.
Fresh, citrusy, bright with a light floral note from the rose. Floral fragrances are usually a red rag to me and give me an instant headache. However, the subtle use of rose in Blue Tea is thankfully not overpowering. The Armand Basi dna from L'eau pour Homme is clearly recognizable. Despite the florality, the dryness of L'eau pour Homme is present in the background and comes through discreetly from time to time.
After the citrusy, floral opening, Cool Water vibes clearly creep in, which I find pleasant, because even if I no longer wear the fragrance, I see Cool Water as a masterpiece.
What I have noticed so far is enough for me to give the sprayer a maximum rating.
I give myself about 7 sprays before I leave the house and go out into the heat in summer.
When I arrive at my indoor destination, I add another 3 sprays.
An atomic mistake.
After a while, I notice two things:
1. Wet mutt... Woof!
2. Breathing labored because there was too little oxygen in the lecture hall... The fellow student junkies have once again pulled everything away to follow the pointless business studies explanations of the prof, only to fail.
I really feel like taking a shower and throwing my shirt in the wash.
But one second.
I realized three things later. The Blue Tea should never be applied too heavily, it smells better on the skin than on fabric and heat tends to damage it.
The fragrance is not bad, but you have to use it correctly. You can use it in the evening before you lie down on the sofa freshly showered to read something, or before you go to sleep.
Many people here seem to have a "bedtime scent" and it's definitely suitable for that.
It's a fragrance for the office, not for sports or the beach. Also not for a waiter who races around all day.
The drydown comes quickly. So HS is bad, or in my spray-mania situation it was a blessing.
I'm wearing it right now as I write and can say that the scent is really pleasant. Minimal mint and tea are perceptible, but you have to get very close.
Blue Tea basically has no projection after the first hour and becomes a skin scent.
But I don't regret the purchase.
Suitable for the right occasion for evenings in the house and worth the blind purchase, but it is a cologne for the senses and brief enjoyment.
...the search continues.
