L'Eau pour Homme Blue Tea Armand Basi 2021
2
Woof!
After I bought Armand Basi's L'Eau pour Homme Eau de Toilette years ago in Fuerteventura, after my ex had me test it in the perfume shop and I was thrilled by the scent, I absolutely had to try 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 is important to me that the scent direction and appearance harmonize, as I am looking for a new signature scent and everything should match. 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 as it also represents what you get. Armaf's blockbusters are examples of the opposite. I would hide the gold bar 1 Million Eau de Toilette at the back of the shelf.
I want something that makes a statement in every way and fits me, so I can switch to autopilot for the next 10 years.
After waiting a week for Blue Tea to arrive from Spain, the juice immediately went on my wrist.
The first impression is very positive.
Fresh, citrusy, bright with a slight floral note from the rose. Floral scents are usually a red flag for me and instantly cause headaches. Thankfully, the subtly used rose in Blue Tea is not overwhelming. The Armand Basi DNA from L'eau pour Homme is clearly recognizable. In the background, despite the floral notes, there is this dryness from L'eau pour Homme that subtly comes through now and then.
After the citrusy, floral opening, Cool Water vibes clearly sneak in, which I find pleasant, as I still see Cool Water as a masterpiece even though I no longer wear it.
What I have perceived so far is enough for me to spray it generously.
I give myself about 7 sprays before leaving the house and heading into the heat of summer.
Upon arriving indoors at my destination, I add another 3 sprays.
A catastrophic mistake.
After a while, I notice two things:
1. Wet dog... Woof!
2. Gasping for air because there was too little oxygen in the lecture hall... The fellow students junkies have once again inhaled everything to follow the pointless business administration lectures of the professor, only to fail afterward.
I really feel the need to shower and throw the shirt in the laundry.
But wait.
Three things I noticed later. Blue Tea must not be applied too heavily; it smells better on the skin than on fabric, and heat is rather detrimental to it.
The scent is not bad, but it needs to be used correctly. You can wear it in the evening before you freshen up and lie back on the sofa to read, or before going to sleep.
Many here seem to have a "bed fragrance," and it is definitely suitable for that.
It is a scent for the office, not for sports or the beach. Also not for a waiter who rushes around all day.
The drydown comes quickly. HS is therefore poor, or in my spraying frenzy situation, it was a blessing.
I am 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.
I do not regret the purchase.
Suitable for the right occasion for evenings at home and worth the blind buy, but it is indeed a cologne for the senses and short enjoyment.
...the search continues.
