Fragrance as Therapy
"Bleu de Chanel Parfum" is my signature scent; not even by choice. I simply have yet to come across another fragrance this unproblematic. It is appropriate for every occasion, every season. You can dress it up or down without thinking twice. It's classy, fresh, lux smelling aroma radiates Chanel affluence.

As someone who has dabbled in the original eau de toilette, and oversprayed the EDP for years, this Parfum is on a whole other level. The mass appealing, clean, spring-day citrus of the original two iterations is left in the wake of an even more elevated, aromatic freshness and a downright irresistible, grounded, earthy, woody base that I can best describe as addicting.

"Bleu de Chanel Parfum" is a compliment magnetic, and can be admired as THE premier blue fragrance as much as it can be a luxurious office scent, a sexy-date staple, and an expensive, everyday go-to. It's a beast of versatility, and near impossible to dislike.

For me, it has evolved beyond the intent and purpose of even my favorite fragrances. "BdCP" has a calming quality that I cannot quit. I use it's sublime blend to alter my mood and imbue color to my day. I'll spray a bit in the air when expecting company, put a few sprits on my pillow cases, apply it after showering, and even spray it in my clothing drawers.

I will always have a bottle of "Bleu de Chanel Parfum" close by and replenished. It's not just the best blue Fragrance I've ever worn. It's not just one of the most complimented frags in my collection...

To me it's therapy.

I don’t understand…
… how this ever gets a bad review.

Is it mass appealing? Yes. Isn’t the point of fragrances to wear things people like? Sure, we could wear Essence of Rat Droppings to be unique and edgy, but, if nobody likes it, why would we?

Is it generic? I don’t think so. Where I am (Philly suburbs), I seldom smell any type of perfume on a man, so, the complaint that I will smell like everyone else is absurd.

It isn’t loud, but, those of us who believe fragrances should be discovered and not announced appreciate that. Still, the compliments come when you walk past people or are in close proximity to them.

To me, it is as close to perfect as I expect to ever find for a warm weather evening fragrance. It is great for dinner with my wife, subtle enough that it won’t gas out a theater, works with any dress from smart casual through business, smells wonderful, lasts 8+ hours on me with four sprays, and comes in a beautiful bottle. It is worth every penny.

Oh, and I’m a 60 year old man and I never feel like it is “too young” for me.

My review of Chanel Bleu De Chanel Parfum on YouTube
This is my Chanel Bleu De Chanel Parfum Review, Bleu De Chanel Parfum by Chanel Fragrance Review. It's finally out and ready for us to get totally excited about the new Chanel flanker to Bleu De Chanel, Bleu De Chanel Parfum. Is it worth it? Back in late December of 2017 I first found out that there would be a new flanker to Chanel Bleu De Chanel so I was very excited in the new Chanel Bleu De Chanel flanker. I even did a video back in early March 2018 about my excitement and anticipation for the new Chanel Bleu De Chanel flanker here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiXrGKL0dp4 But find out by watching all about what I think fo this new Chanel Bleu De Chanel flanker called Bleu De Chanel Parfum. Am I still as excited about this release as I was back when I first found out about it? To find out please watch my video! Thank you. :)

Greatest BLUE fragrance ever.
Bleu de Chanel Parfum can be described in many ways, like: beautiful, elegant, a masterpiece of perfumery, human intelligence at it's finest... truly a stunning, jaw-dropping, gorgeous fragrance, the blue fragrances would not be the blue fragrances without Bleu de Chanel, it's just the best fragrance. I can't imagine a scenario where it would not be appropiate to wear the Parfum. I sprayed it like 36 hours ago and I can still smell it. I once sprayed it at 6 am and got a compliment at 10 pm from a random guy at the train station. I own a lot a fragrances, I tried a lot of fragrances, I only spray two of them: this, and in my opinion the best smelling fragrance ever, La Nuit de L'homme (only reason why I gave this a 9.5 for scent). I can keep going for the rest of the 6500 characters left but I will tell you this much: go to the store, ask the cute girl for the biggest bottle of BDC Parfum and La Nuit de L'homme, pay the price, smile at her and leave.

Classic blue fragrance
This is a joint review of the EDP and the Parfum. Both are excellent, high quality fragrances, as expected from Chanel. They are very similar but not identical. The opening for both is a nice, citrus fresh scent. On dry down, the EDP is smoother or creamier while the Parfum is slightly sharper. As far as the notes go, I'd attribute that to the Parfum emphasizing the wood notes. Both fragrances smell great - masculine with main stream appeal, make either an easy choice for most situations, year round.

Regarding performance, both are good, although the EDP seemed to have very slightly better performance than the Parfum.

Since they are so very close, the choice becomes very subjective if adding only one to a collection. For me, I rate the EDP slightly higher scent-wise than the Parfum and will go with the EDP. To repeat, the Parfum is also very nice. Don't see a need to own both (haven't tried the EDT) unless the goal is a complete collection.

The classiest designer. Woody, darker and more intriguing than the EdP. Versatile, solid longevity with soft projection. Worth every penny.

Smells like Sauvage, YSL Y Le Parfum, Dior Homme 2020, etc... they all share that woody, ambery citrusy boring DNA.
