Powdered and Peppered Palma Violet
It opens with a herbaceous freshness of Minty, Spiced Shiso Leaf with Velvety Violet and Soothing Oolong tea. The Lavender adds an aromatic undertone but is more subtle than the Violet which takes centre stage. All softened and powdered by a fluffy Iris and Musk base.
A very calm and refreshing natural scent.

Sheer Relaxation
Eau Parfumee au The Bleu is an innovative approach to cool and fresh. Using the ionones of violet and irones of iris, sheered out with aqueous, herbal lavender and a noticeable perillaldehyde (shiso), it has a durability that belies its softness. The tea accord that is at its core feels like an iced tea, the aroma almost like the taste of tannins, green and slightly astringent. I must admit, it reminds me somewhat of the aroma of the Lipton ice tea powder mix that was popular back in the 80s.

Coumarin and an understated orris powder sensation surfaces over time, a sweet talc after the watery tones and iced tea ease. There are even echoes of L'Heure Bleue and Caron Aimez-Moi in its development, with their muted hues somehow made lighter and more effervescent, suitable for warmer weather. Overall, au The Bleu has a relaxing, tonic quality that would appeal to those who are drawn to fragrances with an aromatherapeutic sensibility. For me, it's a fulfilling wear and one of those that is even suited for "over spraying."

Caution, Hot!
In my commentary on Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert and in my blog "Berliner Duftspaziergänge Folge 6" I wrote a few words about Bulgari's series of tea colours. Here I would like to summarise once again that Bulgari - stretched over years and decades respectively - commissioned five very different perfumers to develop something on the subject of "tea", each for one colour: white, black and green for the corresponding tea varieties, red for redbush tea and blue for oolong. Three of the five, including this one, are to be discontinued this year, and I'm really glad that I've secured another bottle of it.

What my three precommentators have written about this fragrance is all right; and yet I would like to contradict on one point - or at least bring a new aspect into play. For me this blue tea is not (only) a calming, meditative scent, but (rather) incredibly exciting and exciting! Tea scents are often very beautiful, but somehow mild, gentle, fresh and nice, which I don't want to say about this one. And if the "coolness", which this blue tea (perhaps also because it is a refreshing summer scent and because of the bottle reminiscent of fogged up ice) is said to have also its justification, then I find it first of all really hot!

I find the scents rather unconventionally arranged, and yet they result in a wonderful dynamic unity. First of all (and I would also like to disagree if it is said here occasionally that one hardly feels the tea): The smoky Oolong tea, standing between black and green tea, has bitterly bitter and fresh notes: Therefore it stands absolutely rightly in the name and in the centre of the fragrance! It can be clearly felt in both aspects and the other notes are congenially grouped around it and dock, so to speak, at both ends of the oolong scent. The iris with its astringency (I hardly notice the "powdery" aspect here) and the lavender with its oscillation between flower freshness and earthy bitterness, the almost citric fresh shiso leaf and the flowery, but not too sweet, but also rather serious violet. It's all just perfect. And, as already mentioned before, here not only the nose is served, but also the head: blue flowers (lavender, violet...) belong to a blue tea as well, of course.

So we have here a very, very special tea smell, very blue, very fresh and at the same time in a striking (almost strict) way tart and (quite pleasantly) bitter. In spite of its Cologne character and the moderate (but by no means minimalistic) durability and sillage associated with it, the fragrance definitely appears pithy and full of substance. And although he has three quarters female fans in all the statistics here, I find him quite masculine. A friend of mine, who is very gender-conservative with fragrances and doesn't like feminine fragrances on me, found this one to be a real hit with her.

In short: people (especially boys), save the remaining stock!

Addendum to the bottle: "Aesthetically, I'm not quite as enthusiastic about the container as many people here are, but functionally, I am. I may never have used a great sprayer like this before.

Addendum on the perfumer: The (German) perfumer Daniela Andrier is not one of the names that are repeatedly discussed here as top perfumers, but she is listed at Parfumo with 138 (!) fragrances, which upgrade an average rating of 7.8 after all. She is not only responsible for dozens of fragrances, even entire collections, by Prada and Bulgari, but also some fragrances by Yves Saint Laurent, Ermengildo Zegna and Bottega Veneta, as well as the famous Angélique Noire by Guerlain and a fragrance by each of the niche suppliers Etat Libre d'Orange and Maison Margiela. If I say that Marie Le Fèbvre just told the FAZ that it took her 10 years to develop "Dark Vanilla"... But well, the master will have worked in the time also on other projects parallel. Anyway, I hope Mrs Andrier has good contracts, preferably with a sales commission on the fragrances she designs. Then she should be well taken care of..

Blue Flowers & Ming Bling-Bling
The fragrance opens with a rich blue floral scent, strong lavender and velvety violet. This lovely fragrance is invigorated by the citric freshness of the shiso leaf known from Japanese cuisine. Soon the iris joins, whose powderiness is loosened up by the Shiso freshness. Lavender, violet and iris, that's all flower power. Where is the tea, the actual theme of perfume?

The Oolong tea, called as an ingredient, has less tannin and is more aromatic than black tea and represents the royal class of Chinese tea. During the tea ceremony, it is sipped from small cups in a highly concentrated form in order to enjoy the long finish - similar to red wine. Thé bleu, however, contains only a thin Western infusion, delicate flowery and hardly perceptible as a separate note. This turns it into a pleasing matte brown background lightened by musk, which connects the floral notes and gives the whole a creamy touch.

Thé bleu is a rather simple fragrance that unfolds in its entirety within a few minutes and then remains almost unchanged. Meanwhile, it is precisely this floating clarity that makes him special. A successful perfume with a wellness feeling.

In addition to this, the music skilfully plays with manifold associations to blue. Lavender as relaxation factor par excellence, the blue flower as a symbol of romantic yearning, endless sky blue, pure water blue and egg shell delicate tea crockery with Far Eastern motifs in Chinese Ming blue.

Zen. Quiet. Beauty. Transience. Eternity. Relaxation.

Tea on that.

Androgynous blue powder
As I have already mentioned more often, I work in a tea store and therefore know the scent of different teas quite well. So far, I have not found a "tea scent" that really had an authentic teen note. The Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert smelled more like pure coumarin/hayflower/woodruff - which I happen to love, too, so I fell in love right away - but you really look for real green tea notes in vain there, too. Many other tea scents, for example the Green Tea Eau Parfumée just smell like iced tea, so primarily lemon aroma. Many tea fragrances follow this recipe and create an Earl Grey, in which bergamot is in the top note and something tart in the base (patchouli or similar is also suitable). This is also quite nice and often smells good, but the tea is so lost. I find that always such a pity, because if you sniff every day at pure tea, then you notice
what a wonderfully delicate hay-sweet, partly powdery-peachy-fruity scent of high-quality green tea has,
what a floral-pudgy, rice flour-related, very, very delicate fragrance white tea has,
what a malty-bread-like, sometimes powdery-lime scent oolong tea has,
what a bright, fresh, tart-bizzy fragrance Darjeeling tea has
and what a dark spicy partly sour-malty, smoky fragrance dark black tea (Assam, Ceylon, Java) has.
And all the flavors that you add so, lemon, orange, apricot, mango, raspberry, etc. etc. only mask that and the tea loses its character.
Well, I started this comment, euphoric - you can probably guess - because Bvlgari's blue tea has a really authentic malty oolong tea note! The Se Chung Finest, an oolong tea from China, an inexpensive variety, but full-bodied and of good quality. It is rarely bought, oolong is not particularly well known in Germany. But there are lovers and they take then equal to half a kilo.
But, woe oh woe, the Oolong lingers unfortunately only very briefly. As the top note says goodbye, lavender & shiso fused to herbaceous freshness, can the lipstick accord, the iris powder nothing more offer the forehead.
Now it becomes very proper, mid-parted and shirt-blousy. Was Thé Bleu initially very unisex, a kind of powdery Fougère, for which women's and men's perfume from the 1920s simply mixed together, it needs for the fragrance now already a man who likes powder, who loves flowers and has an androgynous charisma. (I would find the fragrance but great on a man, I like something like that).
Scents like Misia Eau de Parfum or L'Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum come to mind. For comparison I have Misia times aufgesprüht: I find him actually similar, but Misia is again 5 levels drüber, sweeter, raspberry, elf.
At least now I understand the naming, it is apparently to be understood as a timeline. First tea, then blue, in the form of IRISVEILCHENPUDER - capitalized, in yer face. I've already wondered what should be blue tea.
I like it anyway. This combination has not come across me so yet.
An echo of the lavender lingers into the heart, preventing the blue powder from becoming too feminine, and a reminder of the oolong grounds the scent, keeping it grounded before it can develop fairy wings. After a while, the blue powder finally weakens and indeed the lavender dares to emerge again! Only slightly powdery, rather lavender-minty-herbaceous-fresh the fragrance then remains for me until the end. The tea comes unfortunately not again.
Without consciously sniffing the fragrance, I perceive it as a refreshingly clear aura, which drifts now and then even slightly into shower gel. I'm not entirely sure I like it. I vacillate between "mmm soothingly fresh" and "boah eh shower gel, wash it off"

A unisex scent very fresh and relaxing.Well balanced (the lavender isn't too strong). Average sillage for being a perfumed water. High price
