Attention: Here breaks a lance!

Okay, okay. My scent perception is often a little different. But the here partly drawn comparisons to Bleu de Chanel and Dylan Blue I can not explain at all. Except for the color of the bottle and the "blue" in the name have the rather nothing in common from my point of view.

This starts right at the beginning in the course. Unlike the other blue fragrances, is not found in Acqua Essenziale Blu the usual, juicy fruitiness. The citrus is rather tart and leans on the typical Italian Colognes. Very quickly, two chemical -onesĀ® provide a strong synthetic impact, which you can like or not. I find the is quite successful here.

At the latest in the direction of the woody middle and base, Acqua Essenziale Blu then goes a completely different way. Instead of a clean, soft woody base, goes here clearly more tart and coarse to. Whether the cypriole is responsible for the resinous impact, I don't know. It is in any case a clear bitter note to perceive, which was then again with a good portion of sweetness from benzoin and Tonka abgeschmeckt.

So in contrast to Bleu and Dylan, I'd like to make a different comparison, and that's L'Eau Bleue d'Issey. Not because they smell the same, but because they are equally "different". Where the Miyake stands out from the competition with its herbaceous, green heart, the Ferragamo does so with resinous, bitter wood. Both diverge from the one-size-fits-all in their class. And even if L'Eau Bleue still does much better overall, you have to at least give Alberto Morillas credit for taking a risk for variety. Because said bittersweetness will make the fragrance a bit too exhausting for many. Also this factor - I call it 'bulky'- he shares with the L'Eau Bleue.

The external values are quite solid: handy bottle, heavy metal cap, rather average spray head. Similarly, I would rate the performance: quite good durability with rather medium sillage.

Whether you absolutely need this fragrance? Probably not. In a series with many other generic shower gel fresheners one does him an injustice from my point of view. For this he is then but quite independent. Therefore, at this point simply a lance is broken for him.
