Bleu de Chanel
I am a niche fragrance lover. I have over 300 bottle of fragrances. This one was about to be givwnen away because I couldn't remember why I owned it what it smelled like. I sprayed it to be sure I wanted to part with it and I could not.

This is a super fresh, spicy, citrus blast that lasts. No, it is not unique. I've smelled similar but the similarities are only with regard to some of the ingredients. For me, this lasts and it's timeless. I won't be able to part with it after all.

Tragic in stereo
The EDP version of Bleu de Chanel opens with citrus-green notes, a bold metallic-woody-spicy synthetic accord (norlimbanol and fellows) which shall recreate a sort of “woody-spicy” base. Pungent whiffs of calone and menthol notes blend with citrus to evoke the finest Walmart deodorant. The drydown goes better, it becomes all more herbal, mossy and dry (like in any aromatic woody fougère), then gently evolving on softer and cozier synthetic woods. All the intolerable cheapness and dullness of possibly one of the worst Chanel’s ever made is masterfully treasured here as well, just in a more powerful Dolby Surround for our noses’ delight. Disgracefully long-lasting persistence.

Versatile everyday wearer
By far one of the most versatile fragrances I have used. Currently my daily wear fragrance.
Though I have tried EDT, EDP and parfum. The EDP one is still my favorite in terms of scent composition and projection.
EDT tends to be more lively with its citrus notes, whilst EDP more so with amber and sandalwood notes. Parfum variants opening is slightly weak compared with EDP instead they become washed down by the strength of the woody notes. I also found that the transition from citrus to woody notes with hints of spice inbetween was much more enticing with the EDP. My personal opinion is EDP is the winner however if you are someone who is unsure to go for EDT or parfum then go for EDP, which has best of both worlds.
In terms of sillage, the opening is strong but not strong enough to fill a room or draw attention. Strong enough to be noticed by someone a few feet away however this does not last long and soon switches to a skin scent with longevity around 4-6 hours dependent on environment. If you are someone who wants longer projection then opt for parfum.

The one that started all... Upgraded.
Hi everybody! This is my first review on this site, I am not even an english native speaker and I am kind of a newbie in the fragrance world, so please keep that in mind before judging me.

I started thinking about fragrances with a little bit more awareness in the last month, after I was searching a gift for a friend: since then, I had some very basic perfumes in my collection that my relatives gave me in the past ten years. My collection is nothing exceptional with very popular designer fragrances, but there has always been one that stood up amongst the others and that was my go-to when I had a very special occasion like a date or a job interview.

When I was 18 years old, I asked my parents a perfume as my birthday gift. I went to a local shop and smelled for the first time Bleu de Chanel EDT: it was 2013, so it was the only concentration available. I immediately fell in love with that: it was fresh yet elegant, and I was captured by the citrusy notes in the opening and the scent I had on my skin after about half an hour.
However, I think that in the beginning I was too young to truly appreciate it, and I noticed that it wasn't my most complimented fragrance because my peers liked more fragrances like One Million and Eros: however, I wore it very often because it reminded me of my 18th birthday, and I ended up finishing the bottle.

As soon as I discovered that I would have liked to go more in depth in the frag game, I knew that I had to get another bottle of Bleu de Chanel, because it was the first "real" quality fragrance I had and I felt ready to consider it my daily driver now that I am not a young student and that I like wearing fragrances in my workplace.
I considered every concentration of BdC, and ended up with the Eau de Parfum. I had noticed doing some researches that many reviewers consider it the best version in a quality-price ratio, and after testing all of them in a local store I can totally agree.
It has a slightly different opening from the EDT, because to me it's less citrusy and fresh and a little bit more enveloping and richer, because I could smell slightly more notes than in the EDP. But as soon as I waited for the fragrance to dry down, I discovered a bigger difference: for instance, the EDP lasted longer on my skin (about 8 hours) and had better projection (my brother noticed it after 4 hours), and the woody notes (especially the sandalwood) and the incense were way more prominent and interesting than the experience I had with the EDT.
I also tried the Parfum, but the opening seemed too much woody to me and I thought it was less versatile than the EDP.

As you might have already understood, I love the scent of Bleau de Chanel Eau de Parfum. It smells very natural, fresh and elegant, and I worship the woody scent of the dry down.
As far as the performance and the compliment factor, I need to test it over time but as of now I am totally happy: it lasts well on my skin as I wrote earlier, and the girl I went out with last week told me I smelled great. The bottle is amazing because it feels elegant and expensive with its dark blue color, its shape and its packing; I think that the magnetic cap a great addition, and I can't find many better bottles from designers.
I don't know about US, Australia or other european countries, but in Italy you can have some discounts even on Chanel fragrances if you wait for the right offer: I found a 100 ml bottle at 88 euros on Marionnaud, and I think that it is a very fair price considering the whole package. I know that without the discount it might seem expensive and very close to niche fragrances, but considering that it wasn't very hard for me to find a 25% discount (and I read that sometimes you can even get 30%) I think that the value might considered very good.

I don't know if my newly discovered passion for fragrances will last long, but I am pretty confident that this EDP version of Bleu de Chanel will forever be one of my favorites.

Compare this with the parfum
I have owned the parfum for about 3 months now so here we go. (P=parfum EDP=EDP)

Opening:
P is more realistic fruity, imagine a juicy pineapple and lemon peel squeezed together. P's opening also smells fizzy to me, you can smell that fizziness from the atomizer. Very refreshing, fruit juice like. Along with that there is a greeness to balance, it's slightly spearminty and green.

EDP is more bitter and zesty with the grapefruit, if you smell it up close it can be somewhat mettalic and pungent, but in the air others can perceive an ultra-fresh-zestiness.

Mid:
P is a funny one because in hot weather, I perceive more woody notes and creaminess. Some mentioned a crayon note, I think that may be the cashmere note. The sandalwood along with the cedar really shine through. In coldish weather you can still detect the pineapple fruitiness. Lavender is absolutely there, very realistic and natural smelling. You don't get the lavender note all the time, sometimes when the temperature is right you can smell the lavender from sprays on cloth very clearly.

EDP has more floral nuance to it. Hedione is absolutely used. Citrusy seems to be completely gone to me. I never perceive any incense in BDC but whatever... The airy jasmine is combined with a slightly warm ginger note so it's very pleasing in warm - hot weathers.

Base:
P becomes more woody. In short, a lemony sandalwood with cedar roughness.
EDP's ambroxan comes out, gives this fragrance an addictiveness
My opinion on them:
both can easily cause olfactory fatigue. But EDP does actually project more.
the Parfum version is really much better if applied on skin because on cloth sometimes I can barely detect anything.
EDP on the other hand... spray on cloth or skin is fine.

EDP is absolutely fresh enough for summer 80-90 degree IMO
Parfum is best worn under 80 degree as in high heat the fruity notes are gone and you get tremendous woodiness.

Price wise, I think honestly both are worth the money. I currently only own the parfum and have a sample of the EDP (I've owned the EDP before)
To me, since my collection lacks some winter, warm scents, I'll keep the parfum. as it is more warm and cozy.

A lot of people say there is not a big difference between the Parfum and the EDP. To me, upon the first 15-30 min there really is not a big difference, but they dry down very differently to me.

some cues:
Sandalwood, cedarwood, warm, cuddly scent lovers=Parfum
Ambroxan, floral, ultra fresh scent lovers=EDP

To me there is not a point in owning both as both are extremely pleasant so it's hard to decide which one to wear LOL. Just for your own convenience sakes, I recommend only getting one in the line.

Also, I known people often despise it's "genericness", however to me this is really like the counterpart of Coco-Madamosille.
If you smelled that, you know it's instantly recognizable, but it's SOOOOOO good on a woman.
This is like that for us men. Us fragheads may find it boring but man, I can imagine any woman who smell it on us to be very pleased.

Also, I've owned all 3 versions of sauvage before.
Compare to BDC line, Sauvage absolutely smells more shower gel like. Nothing wrong with that but I'd recommend anyone who enjoys natural smelling stuff to go for BDC line.
Finally, I've owned BDC EDT, I CANNOT STAND IT. reason being, some ingredient in the EDT causes a sore throat for me, literally. I remember for a long time I had a bad throat but I didn't know what was the cause then I eventually figured out it was the EDT that was causing it. I guess I'm just sensitive to super harsh scents...
