Benetton BLU, marketed to men, features a strong cedar note and also a fair amount of basil. Although the composition is rather masculine, it is not impossible for women to wear, provided that they like woody aromatics. I find BLU rather refreshing on a hot day, and although it is not subtle, it is clean and clear, rather than muddled and toxic as so many men's colognes in this price range seem to me to be. BLU seems entirely respectable, and I'll use the bottle I acquired purely out of curiosity now and then. It is definitely wearable, and even rather endearing in a somewhat simpleminded way. Something like a friendly dog, I'd say. But at least it’s a clean one!
Overall, I find these Benetton fragrances somewhat flat, like an image whose various layers have all been collapsed, leaving a straightforward representation of a simple object not really open to a huge amount of interpretation. There is no cat in this picture...
