Earthy green 'blue' scent
Oud Bleu Intense is a fresh, spicy amber scent with a vaguely aquatic theme. It seems to derive its marine references from the naturally earthy nuances of myrrh and the cold green wateriness of cardamom, rather than the chemical awfulness of Calone or Ambroxan. Thank heavens for small mercies, I suppose.
The natural feel of Oud Bleu does not quite compensate for a general banality of composition or thinness of texture, however. A satisfying counterpart to this might be found on the shelves of any department store for less than half the price.
