Jack of all Trades, Master of None
I have over 200 fragrances in my collection. Out of all of those, this has to be the most average of all. Its not bad, but it lacks identity. It's sweet, fresh, woody, synthetic, fresh, a bit spicy. It's hard to pick out individual notes, it's pleasant smelling and can cover a wide range of situations and occasions, but it really lacks character.

This fragrance reminds me of an endless line of semi-sweet designer fragrances from the early 2000's. Simple, pleasant, average performance. Many of which are long discontinued. Calvin Klein Euphoria, Burberry London and La Nuit de l'Homme would be an examples of this style and era of perfumery that are still in production. This could have been a flanker for CK Euphoria or La Nuit and reminds me of other fragrances that are some times compared to La Nuits flankers (F by Ferragamo and Halloween Man Shot are two that come to mind).

I have a great deal of respect for Nathalie Lorsen, I'd be extremely curious to hear the conversations that were centered around the conceptualization of this fragrance. I can't help but feel like this is what Jimmy Choo asked her to make.

Longevity is average 5 hours on skin, projection is average, can be worn most of the year outside of the summer, day or night. I could see this being unisex, but I doubt most women would want to wear it.

The best thing about this fragrance, besides the price being so low on the second hand market, is that it's good for layering. I have successfully layered freshies over it in the winter to give a little more oomph.

One of those scents
This fragrance is officially the first one from the Jimmy Choo I have ever owned. Although I don’t particularly care about their perfumes, I tried it after getting it in a swap with another fellow fragrance enthusiast. Unlike a couple of years ago, when I sold or swapped perfumes for which I didn’t care about before writing a review, this time, I decided to give this one a chance and wear it for a month.

TOP NOTES
On initial application, the interplay of lavender and bergamot delivers a refreshing herbal-citrus burst. Black pepper adds a subtle piquancy, while clary sage contributes an aromatic, almost velvety texture. It’s nice, all right, just not for me. I guess teenagers are going to enjoy it much more than us, a little bit older perfume aficionados.

HEART NOTES
After the initial brightness, ambroxan emerges, lending a marine sensuality. Cypress adds a green‐woody nuance. The overall atmosphere is pleasant and energetic. This mid-phase feels well-balanced: neither too citrusy nor overly green, making it suitable for casual settings.

BASE NOTES
As the scent evolves into its dry-down phase, a cosy and smooth base of vanilla and sandalwood emerges, establishing the essence of its enduring nature. Vanilla unfolds with its signature sweet, cosy, and comforting aroma—primarily driven by vanillin—which also imparts subtle animalic and woody facets that help fix the fragrance on the skin.

OVERALL
Jimmy Choo Man Blue is a reliable, well-rounded Eau de Toilette that blends freshness, spice, and warmth in a polished package. The thing is, it’s neither unique nor for me. These types of scents would have suited me in the mid-to-late 2000s when I was much younger. Even with this statement, I don’t think it pushes the perfume industry forward or does anything else besides being a versatile warm-weather fragrance for younger guys.

Manly with its leathery note, yet also surprisingly light. It's perfect for spring and for any man that doesn’t like heavy punch cologne.

Scratchy, synthetic Frankenstein monster made of body parts stolen from some of the best-selling men's perfumes sold in blue bottles.

1st thoughts: Differs to most 'blue' scents due to a strong leather note which becomes the star from the mid after a bright 'blue' start.

Same static fragrance noise as in the OG. It actually offends my nose a bit how boring it is

Black pepper and sage are apparent at first, pepper most of all. As it progresses sweet notes appear as it dries

Iso E Super and some other synthetics. Surprisingly nice bottle and atomizer. Don't pay for it though

Not a bad smell, but very boring (generic), which may be a good thing for some.

We're somewhere between Versace Eros and the new Dior Sauvage, indeed, this is a scent you smell very often!

The Ice was quite okay for summer, but this is the 1,368th fresh-sweet shower gel scent in the last 2-3 years, there's nothing else anymore.
